  In my state we do have mandatory vaccines, we have a list of required vaccines that a child must have before entering school, and kept up as required. They are mandatory unless one can provide a Doctors letter that says the vaccine is not recommended for the child.
  
  If the state decides to take the CDC recommendations and the COVID vaccine is added to the list. Children will need to get it or not attend school.

  I would think most states have the same mandated vaccines, and one can opt-out via a Doctors letter.
  
  So, Tucker was right the COVID vaccine could be mandatory if added to a given state's list of vaccines needed to enter school.
  
  I could not find the Tucker show to check out if he covered the fact that it would be up to states if COVID vaccine is added to their required vaccine lists. The tweet does not offer enough context. In my view his tweet was hyperbolic.

  'Could be' and 'would make' are very different claims. But his desired goal in making his followers be angry at the CDC for something they do not control seems to be working perfectly as that's now three that have tried to defend his lies.

"The CDC is about to add the Covid vaccine to the

childhood immunization schedule,

which would make it mandatory

for kids to attend school..."

The Article:
Public health experts say there is a legitimate debate over whether schoolchildren should be required to be vaccinated against coronavirus ..." "... Saphier ... appeared in a Fox News segment on Wednesday afternoon, clarifying her comments, but reiterating her criticism that the children's vaccines needed further study."

CDC took to Twitter ... noting that its independent vaccine advisory committee would vote Thursday 'on an updated childhood immunization schedule.' ...The tweet also said: 'States establish vaccine requirements for schoolchildren, not ... the CDC ..."
"...The CDC's response drew criticism from public health experts, who said the agency did not explicitly rebuff Carlson's claim or speak in plain language."

"In a statement Wednesday, the CDC said the vaccine panel will be updating its 2023 childhood ... immunization schedules, including whether to add approved or authorized coronavirus vaccines, as guidance to health care providers.

"It's important to note that there are no changes in COVID-19 vaccine policy, and this action,(updating,) would ... help streamline clinical guidance for health care providers by including all currently licensed, authorized and routinely recommended vaccines in one document,' CDC spokesperson Kristen Nordlund said in an email."... "The revised immunization schedules would not take effect until January 2023."... "The updated schedule ... 'is the one place everyone can look to see exactly what all the recommendations are ...'"

One can see that he might have easily jumped to conclusions. One can also see that if someone doesn't speak up, it could happen.

One might also be thankful someone has an eagle eye to spot possibilities that should not happen.

One can also see that he was not lying for any nefarious reason, but might have blown it up a bit.
By mistake. He was alarmed by the idea.

  It was not a conclusion, as the article notes, because the CDC does not control what the mandatory vaccines are that children must have to attend schools. The states do that. He literally fabricated something that cannot happen.

  First, there have been only a few debates. So one must tune in to nightly TV to hear from candidates. Fox has Republicans on nightly to share what they are running on. Not sure about the more left-leaning networks, I don't tune in. What I have gleaned from watching Republicans they are upbeat, some having rallies, and they are running on inflation, border, and crime, some talk about education, and what they see as problems the left is pushing in regard to Gender issues.
  
  The lawn signs are up, and we are just ready to get on with it.
  
  Most Republicans are not really moderate any longer. The party has morphed into a more boisterous party. The true 100% conservative, in my view, is in the minority at this point.
  
  One thing remains, we want less Government, more than ever before.
  In my view, Republicans don't like the direction the country is headed under Democrats and I think many independents feel the same.
  
  Yes, we have a few extremists, yet so does the Democratic party.
  
  Moderate is no longer a question, due to what we are now dealing with in the Country. Many of us feel we need a fixer. Many of us really felt even with COVID, we were doing well with Trump's agenda, and his policies.

  Faye, the MAGA agenda is about putting America first in regard to keeping a border that laws are kept, we are interested in bringing peace to our communities in regard to crime, we are for providing children with better education, and we want better trade opportunities, and to produce our own energy on American soil, we are not for being dependent on others for energy. We want less Government. We want Government's most left ideologies out of our schools.
  
  I find it offensive to hear the president refer to MAGA in the negative, he certainly has given nothing of why he feels this way. He ca; ls us fascists, without cause or giving any examples of why he feels this way. He voices a very negative label, without anything to offer about why he came to his conclusion.
  
  It seems like you have not listened to the Republicans that are running. They are focused on issues that plague the Nation and Problems that many feel this administration has caused.
  
  What makes you feel MAGA agenda is divisive? We who support America first feel this agenda can lead us out of a very dark time.
  
  I ask, what samples has Biden given to indicate MAGA supporters as rare fascists.? He does use the word but just does not give any examples of fascism. I think unless one can back something up with examples, one should not toss out such a word. So please give some examples where we that respect MAGA spread "hate" and "President Biden spoke the truth about maga." Please quote him... His speeches are vague without any true information or facts to back up what he speaks of. In my view, you picked up the gauntlet and did the same.
  
  So please quote Biden in regard to why you feel he spoke the truth --- truth about what? He tosses out a word and gives zero examples of why he thinks MAGA citizens are fascists.

Sharlee's first paragraph has noble goals, there's nothing wrong with those pursuits.

Fascists, without cause though?

Considering the majority of the MAGA movement refused to accept the results of a free and fair election based on lies would make them fascist in nature. That almost 300 candidates in the midterms are election deniers makes them fascist. That a leader saying they wished their generals were more like the ones under Hitler is fascist. Calling the media the enemy of the people is fascist. Undermining the rule of law by obstructing justice is fascist. Asking government employees for personal fealty instead of fealty to the Constitution is fascist. Attacking anyone who dares question or stand against you is fascist. Organizing an attack on your own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power is beyond fascist. When the leader of your party espouses openly racist terms like 'China Virus' and 'Coco Chow' that increases hate crimes against certain Americans, that party ight be fascist in nature.

There is plenty of cause out there and so many examples. When MAGA followers violently attack churches, synagogues, the FBI, and their own Capitol; when they make domestic terror threats to school boards and election workers, they are a clear and present danger to the country.

I'm with Faye, Biden didn't go far enough in denouncing the programming Trump is doing with his base that is causing violence against their own government and officials.

  It is clear that some Trump supporters did plan a protest that turned into a riot at the capitol. Which it well appears they will all go to prison for. This was a small handful of people, not a Majority of MAGA supporters.
  
  " There is plenty of cause out there and so many examples. When MAGA followers attack churches, synagogues, the FBI, and their own Capitol;"
  
  Again a small handful of citizens that took it upon themselves to break the law.
  
  MAGA is a concept, an agenda. Many Americans feel it is a positive agenda for this time in our history. To put America back on a more positive path, to rebuild, and solve problems that we currently are experiencing.
  
  In my own view, the majority of Republicans feel as I do, we need new conservative representation that will consider putting America first. I do feel the majority will speak in Nov. Perhaps you will feel differently after the elections, and respect that MAGA just means "Make America Great Again". And it does not support violence, or anything anti-American.
