Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb Responds to President Joe Biden’s Vaccination Order It was announced on Thursday.

Holcomb has issued the following statement:

“I think vaccines are the best tool to protect us and our loved ones from COVID-19. It’s a tool to end the pandemic. But issuing vaccine obligations to citizens and private businesses. I strongly believe that it is not the role of the state or federal government. This is the approach our administration has taken all along. The announcement from President Byden is a bridge too far away. Private companies are their own. You must be able to look at your mission, their staff, and their goals and make the best decisions for them to keep their doors open. I think it is basically a citizen’s right to choose whether or not to get the vaccine. We hope everyone will be vaccinated, but we are truly a country built on this kind of freedom. “
