GOP candidate for governor Gary Rabine incorrectly says COVID vaccines haven’t been approved and are responsible for thousands of deaths

“If they feel that it’s not a benefit to them and vaccinating with a vaccination that’s not FDA-approved — that if it was FDA-approved would have been taken off the shelf about 5,000 or 6,000 deaths ago — if they feel that that’s not in their safety and that, you know, it’s not good for their health, then it’s a free country,” he said. “They should not have to take it.”
