The ACLU has published an article in the New York Times followed up by
a tweet which asserts that the government forcing people to take
vaccines is a victory for civil liberties.

No, this isn’t out of the Babylon Bee.

“Far from compromising them, vaccine mandates actually further civil
liberties,” the organization’s tweet ludicrously claimed. “They
protect the most vulnerable, people with disabilities and fragile
immune systems, children too young to be vaccinated, and communities
of color hit hard by the disease.”

The tweet linked to a New York Times opinion piece written by ACLU
staffers which further amplified claims that the government forcing
people to take a vaccine under threat of them losing their jobs,
social lives and potentially in the future the right to buy and sell
was actually a boon for civil liberties.

What’s next? Maybe the ACLU will call for the government to forcibly
incarcerate Americans for their controversial political opinions
because it might ‘prevent harm’.

Respondents on Twitter were swift to ridicule the organization’s
absurd hypocrisy.

“The government forcing a needle in your arm is actually them
furthering your civil liberties” is quite the take even from Marxists
like you. Thank you for dropping the mask to reveal yourselves
though,” remarked Robby Starbuck.

“It is so sad to see how much leftism has destroyed your organization.
Any real civil liberties union needs to be actively against the left
and you are example #1 as to why,” tweeted Steven Kolln.

Perhaps the best summary was tweeted by journalist Glenn Greenwald.

“Having the state force citizens to inject their bodies with a
medicine they don’t want is a victory for civil liberties actually,
says the @ACLU.”
