The mandating of vaccines could shape a terrible future, former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson warned on Newsmax.
“The really important thing here is for us to recognize that this is America that we’re living in,” Carson told Monday’s “Eric Bolling: The Balance.”
“This is a place where people came so that they could be free. And the whole concept of mandates, no matter how wonderful you think they are, are opening the door to something that could be pretty terrible in the future.”
Carson shared his concern that politicians could impose “some types of penalties” on Americans for having unorthodox views, and that is something “we have to think about.”

He is mistaken. Mandated vaccines for smallpox didnt create a risk impinging freedoms.
That was a very different America back then. It was before CRT. It was before the “peaceful protests” of BLM. It was before immigration and open borders was higher on the list of priorities than American citizens. It was before American soldiers and allies were less important than terrorists.
Has the good doctor forgotten the scourge of smallpox, which killed 300 million people in the 20th century alone? Yes, 300 MILLION!! It was eradicated precisely due to strict vaccination mandates.
He is also old enough to have seen plenty of people who were disabled for life by poliomyelitis, even if he hasn’t seen anyone die therefrom. Once again, mandatory vaccination programs eliminated that disease from civilized countries.
Now, which freedoms have those mandates infringed upon? The freedom of having a pockmarked face, or of living on the iron lung machine?
