Williamson Calls Vaccine Mandates 'Orwellian'

June 20, 2019 at 8:17 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Marianne Williamson, one of the 20 contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2020 election, called mandatory-vaccine policies “Orwellian” at an event in New Hampshire, NBC News reports.

Said Williamson: “To me, it’s no different than the abortion debate. The U.S. government doesn’t tell any citizen, in my book, what they have to do with their body or their child.”
