“You say it’s a personal choice,” Wallace said on “Sunday.” “In fact, to attend school in your state of Nebraska, children must be vaccinated against a number of diseases. ... They must be vaccinated against diptheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps and rubella, hepatitis B and chickenpox.”
“Why are those mandates that parents in your state must comply with — and do comply with routinely — why is it that they’re not so objectionable and such a violation of personal freedom, but [President Joe] Biden’s vaccine mandates are?” he asked. Ricketts responded that people “don’t know who to trust right now” and that “we have trust in those other vaccines” due to their “long history.”
Wallace pointed out that the polio vaccine was also developed quickly — and that people “viewed it as a blessing” when it first became available — and that the Food and Drug Administration has given full approval to a COVID-19 vaccine. Ricketts responded by saying that he is focused on hospital capacity in his state. He also said the majority of people dying of the coronavirus in Nebraska are senior citizens, and that most members of that population have been vaccinated. He claimed COVID-19 did not post a significant risk for younger people.
