SEN. TED CRUZ: I think vaccines are terrific. I've had the vaccine myself. I think it's given us a lot of freedom, but I think there's a real potential for government overreach, and I don't believe anyone should be forced to take the vaccine. It should be your personal choice. You should make the choice based on your health, based on the decisions you want.

I've introduced this week legislation that would, number one, prohibit any federal vaccine passport, prohibit the Biden administration from doing anything to mandate vaccines, but it also prohibits discrimination in employment.

We're seeing some places where employers are saying if you're not vaccinated, you're fired, and that ought to be illegal. Your health decisions are yours to make, and it shouldn't be your boss. It shouldn't be the government. It shouldn't be anyone else forcing you to make those decisions.
