GOP Congressman Advocates for Fake Vaccine Administration: 'Ethical Form of Non-Compliance'

A Congressman from Kentucky advocated for an "ethical form of non-compliance" by encouraging people and medical providers to falsify receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

Republican Thomas Massie, who represents northern Kentucky, tweeted on October 15 that if a person were to "hypothetically" find a provider willing to fake administer a vaccine, it should be considered an ethical form of non-compliance, and it would be hard to prove.

Massie went on to suggest that this is already happened "thousands of times already" and is likely to continue increasing as vaccine mandates affect more workers.

"You'd have to be a fool to think this isn't happening," the elected official wrote.

He is literally telling people to commit the crime of defrauding the U.S. government, and somehow I don't think "Rep. Thomas Massie (R/KY) told me it was an ethical form of non-compliance" is going to go very far as a defense!

Thomas Massie represents Kentucky's US district 4. It is not the worst gerrymandered district I have seen, but I live in Texas. Thomas Massie is loved by the Gun Owners of America. Rand Paul said that The Gun Owners of America is the only organization that will not accept any compromise. The Young Americans for Liberty also love him. The Young Americans for Liberty's Flag says "Join or Die." They are anti-vaccine and they are strongly against government spending when the president is from the Democratic Party.

He is the one that compared vaccine mandates to the holocaust. He is the only congressman who likes the idea of having manufacturers mass produce guns that can't be detected.

Massie was ranked number 1 in Conservative Review Top 25 Conservatives list.
