The Republican Attorney General of Missouri blasted governments and employees for threatening workers with losing their jobs if they didn’t get vaccinated, comparing that mentality to that of tyrants and dictators.
“Yes, if anyone says that using fear is good, that’s what every tyrant in world history and every dictator in world history has said to accumulate, aggregate and to maintain power, ”the Missouri attorney general said.
