Missouri’s Republican attorney general blasted governments and employees who have threatened workers with the prospect of losing their job if they don’t get vaccinated, likening that mentality to that of tyrants and dictators.
"Yeah, if someone says that using fear is good, that is what every tyrant in the history of the world, and every dictator in the history of the world, has ever said to accumulate, aggregate, and maintain power," Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said during a press conference Thursday when asked about vaccine mandates. "This is America — the freest country in the history of the world — and I don’t think that we should be allowing individual politicians who want to grab power and never let go of it gain it in the first place."
