Forbes: “In an interview with conservative Wisconsin radio host Vicki McKenna, herself a vocal coronavirus vaccine skeptic, Johnson launched into a condemnation of ‘vaccine passports,’ a credential that would allow businesses to verify vaccination status. But Johnson also went a step further, declaring he sees ‘no reason to be pushing vaccines on people,’ arguing their distribution should be ‘limited’ to those most vulnerable to coronavirus, and asking, ‘if you have a vaccine, quite honestly, what do you care if your neighbor has one or not?'”
“Johnson said he is ‘getting highly suspicious’ of the ‘big push to make sure everybody gets the vaccine,’ stating it’s ‘not a fully approved vaccine’ but also arguing that the fact it is 95% effective means only a limited number of people need to be vaccinated. The comments put Johnson at odds with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who spent much of the last Senate recess urging Republican men to get vaccinated amid public opinion polling that shows they are the least likely to do so. Johnson is one of the Senate’s most prolific promoters of coronavirus pseudoscience, holding hearings last year as the chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to promote unproven treatments like Hydroxychloroquine.”
