Note: Please visit Millions Against Medical Mandates

###

I posted the above Tweet yesterday, and then posted it on Facebook with a caveat. Caveat means warning.  It read: "Boobies! We set our snark meter to stun on this one. Followed by, Mandate breastfeeding to ease the formula shortage. Medically exempt moms can buy formula. Medical exemptions will only be granted by La Leche League, not your own Dr. It's for the health of babies. Don't complain."  And.... madness ensued in the comments. 

Most readers got it - the irony. Others not so much.  I'm not taking a stance pro or con breastfeeding. I  have three kids who had both. My Mom made formula for my brother with a Karo syrup recipe in 1970. I'm fully aware not every Mom can breastfeed - for reasons personal to her.

The nation would go into an uproar if breastfeeding was "mandated" to stretch the limited supply of formula for those who could not breastfeed. You know, for the greater good of babies. And yet, we just came off of a year and a half where men and women, Moms and Dads lost their jobs, were banned from all aspects of society and ostracized with glee across social and mainstream media for their Covid vaccination choice.  So I wrote a quick Tweet that was meant to point out how crappy medical mandates are.  All of them.

If one person sees that vaccine mandates are just as intrusive as my imaginary Tweet topic was, it was worth losing some Facebook followers.

Silence is submission. I won't be silent.
