Candace Owens has opened the proverbial can of worms with her argument as to why she is against getting the COVID vaccine. The conservative commentator took to Twitter to say, “Not one person in my family will ever touch the Covid-19 vaccine. That is the decision that we have made, unabashedly, as a family. Medical freedom is an individual right that should NEVER be infringed upon and any person who thinks otherwise has no place in our government.” Owens isn’t the first right-wing person to use “medical freedom” as an excuse, but since she has made it clear in the past that she is against a woman’s “freedom” to choose, people can’t help but call out the hypocrisy.
Medical freedom…
So, you’re pro-choice now?

Owens is getting support from another person who thinks people should have “the right to choose” to get a vaccine, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Greene, herself, is under fire for another anti-Semitic comment. The Georgia Republican once again equated the push to get vaccines to Nazi-style tactics. NBC writes:
Greene, who recently apologized for comparing mask mandates at the U.S. Capitol to the Holocaust, said in a tweet that people have a choice to get vaccinated and don’t need “medical brown shirts” knocking on doors to urge them to do so. She was responding to remarks Biden made Tuesday about deploying people into communities to get people to take the vaccine.
