In this current day and age, doing the right thing is often looked upon as doing the wrong thing.

Case and point:

A Los Angeles sheriff has been stripped of his ability to enforce COVID vaccine mandates after refusing to force his staff to get vaccinated.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva was relieved of his enforcement powers last week, as voted on by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

For several months, Sheriff Villanueva has refused to enforce the vaccines due to concerns of losing too many staffers.

According to Villanueva, the board’s decision could result in the loss of more than 4,000 employees.

he also claims the board’s decision is purely political:

“This is nothing more than another politically motivated stunt by the Board, which has no bearing on public health, but will definitely harm public safety,” Villanueva said.
