As some hospitals in Iowa and nationwide are requiring their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or risk termination, over 100 people gathered Saturday afternoon outside of the Iowa state Capitol for a rally against vaccine mandates.
The rally was organized by Informed Choice Iowa — a group that advocates against mandatory vaccinations and vaccine passports — and included multiple speakers like Rep. Jeff Shipley, R-Birmingham, who called vaccine mandates "a crime against humanity," and Sen. Dennis Guth, R-Klemme, who said Iowans would become "mindless cattle" if "we don't stand up for freedom."
