Political Rewind: Kemp Promotes Health Privacy Over Vaccination Proof; GOP Leaders Respond To Greene
Wednesday on Political Rewind: Gov. Brian Kemp has issued an executive order banning state agencies and schools from requiring proof of vaccination against the coronavirus. Kemp said vaccination status is a personal matter between an individual and a doctor, and the state should not intrude.\n\nIn a statement, Kemp urged all Georgians to get vaccinated but said the decision to receive a vaccine was not a place for state government to interfere.\n\nAfter days of silence, Republican leaders of the U.S. House issued stern criticisms yesterday of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene\u2019s repeated statements comparing mask and vaccine rules to Nazi Germany\u2019s vilification of Jews.\n\nMeanwhile: Jackson, Miss., declared May 26 at C.T. Vivian Day. It is a stark example of how history has changed through the decades. Local leaders 60 years ago had Vivian jailed and beaten for his participation in the Freedom Rides.\n\nPanelists:\n\nGreg Bluestein \u2014 Political Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nSen.
