The Governor of Tennessee speaks:
"I think that we want to continue to encourage Tennesseans to get the vaccine," Governor Lee said Thursday, not asking or urging residents to get vaccinated, and not explaining the deadly chance residents are taking by choosing to not be vaccinated.
"It's the best tool be have to manage the COVID situation – the health situation that we have," he said, seemingly correcting himself mid-sentience to avoid saying coronavirus or pandemic.
"We'll continue to provide access, we'll continue to make it available," he said of the coronavirus vaccine, insisting that is the extent of "the government's role."
"The government's role is to provide information, to provide education, to provide access, to provide...um...to provide the vaccine," he continued, unable to think of any other responsibilities he has as the head of the state.
Is the government's role in fire protection simply to teach you how to prevent home fires? And policing? Does government's responsibility end with telling you how to avoid being a victim of crime? Maybe even how to avoid bad drivers? Because government is only a teacher, not a defender of liberties? Or even of plain old social order?
