Louisiana students won't be required to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination to attend school next year, Gov. John Bel Edwards said Wednesday, backtracking on a plan that faced steep opposition from GOP lawmakers.

Speaking on his monthly radio show, Edwards said the Louisiana Department of Health recommended the reversal given the pace with which the vaccine has received full approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.


I guess he was actually afraid of being overruled by the Republicans.

Coward. So this proves he didn't believe what he said or he would have seen this through. That "save one child" line was a load of crap. He has no more faith in the vaccine than anyone with a brain.

So, what the two GOP Senators did was even MORE PUSSIFIED given the fact that JBE walked away anyway?

He didn’t do anyone any favors. Instead of forced vax, he made it appear it was going to be mandatory so to avoid the backlog of parents rushing to frick their kids over.

Now he can claim “what are you talking about? It was never going to be mandatory”

After Labor Day, once schools get federal funding based on enrollment, the shot will become mandatory again. That would be a JBE move.

Discharge was going to happen today. They had the votes to pass HCR3 and JBE folded to avoid embarrassment. The LDH didn’t just change their mind suddenly. The spin from the media is unreal. Thank you to all for fighting. Hopefully this can be a lesson for us all. Stay away from the kids!!!

Thank you for posting this.
I don't trust the pop eyed looney toon weasel, I could see him reversing his reversal when the mood suits him.

I'm surprised one of you cajun boys ain't fed him to the alligators by now. The problem with big shots like him is they think they're untouchable. Anybody can be gotten to. Anybody.

He knows it is worse taking it than not taking it. That is exactly why he never took it himself or his family.

He can’t for the upcoming school year if he does decide to push at some point it has to go through legislative process.
