GOP Governor Kristi Noem Won’t Ban Mandates, but There is a Catch

One GOP governor is not jumping in front of the vaccine mandate train and has decided to instead take the stance that they can find employment elsewhere.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) has made her decision on private business while also banning the mandates for government workers

According to The Daily Wire:

Republican state Reps. Jon Hansen and Scott Odenbach are trying to null businesses mandating their employees to get vaccinated against Covid-19 through the “COVID-19 Vaccine Freedom of Conscience Act.”

Noem claims such legislation is a slippery slope that could lead to other dictates toward businesses Republicans might not like. “If we mandate one thing, are we setting a precedent for what we are telling businesses they have to do far into the future?” Noem posed.

The Republican governor has, though, banned vaccine mandates for employees in state and local government in SD.

She has also argued that employees of private businesses opposed to a vaccine mandate can go work elsewhere.

While most governors try to make political statements by dictating to businesses what they can and can’t do, Noem recognizes that one party is not forever in power and what may be positive now could have disastrous effects down the road. Think a business having to pay for abortions.



  1. Noem gives cart blanche to businesses who want to mandate the jab. If most of them do this, what other employment are people going to get? What of employees who smoke? Are obese? Should employers also ban them, since they pose a health risk to themselves and possibly others?

      1. So, if people get sick by being too close to those with COVID, then why is that despicable excuse for a President, Joe Biden, shipping COVID positive ILLEGALS all over the United States who continue to flow in, unabated over our Southern Border??

        1. That’s a very good question. However, don’t expect a liberal Dim to answer it. They have NO common sense.

          1. Fat don’t rub off, Covid do.
            We the people have addressed the use of nicotine, alcohol and cannibs in the work place.
            Do you have a problem with that?

            I voted for Trump.
            Once.

          2. All this chaos over the last 18 months for a virus with a national mortality rate of 0.13%. We also know, through two independent studies, the CDC over-recorded C19 deaths by as much as 1,600%, so the number of C19 deaths are likely much lower than flu, certainly lower than heart disease, cancer, and car accidents. This country has become INSANE over something that, like ANY virus, is dangerous to medically vulnerable people, but survivable for most (I consider a survival rate of 99.87% (CDC) “most”). This mess is all about political power and control. You want to show me this is like Ebola used to be (98% mortality rate), THEN talk to me about mask & vaccine mandates.

          3. The highest number of deaths World Wide is abortion of tiny helpless babies. Covid is at the bottom (Lowest) on the list. And the same people behind Covid and vaccines are the ones who are Pedophiles and Eugenics using babies blood at heightened pain levels to get the Andrechrome . The tests using swabs are getting your DNA and many of the swabs were contaminated All Political hoax

          1. He is already cursed, I don’t want to do the devil’s work My God wants to bless man and our country.

        2. That’s what happens when there is an incompetent old fart in the White House who doesn’t know squat about what is happening in front of him!

          Please remember, biddyboy Biden is NOT calling the shots but someone is manipulating him to make actions — just like when Obamalama was in office! You do understand BHO was nothing but a puppet like Biddy boy. Someone is telling them what to do — their PUPPETMASTER — neither of those two has a high enough IQ to make major decisions, so here we are in disaster after disaster after disaster!

          What I don’t get is where are the American HEROS that step up to the plate to get rid of incompetent presidents like biddy? Where are the Smart people laying out plans?? It seems America is just standing still, spinning our wheels while Biden keeps throwing dung in American’s faces and making us the laughing stock of the World Powers!

          What’s up with that and why are WE THE PEOPLE letting that happen?? Biden’s excuse is FEEBLEMINDEDNESS! What’s American’s excuse??

        3. Joe is also shipping Covid positive Muslins to an area near you.
          Muslims who have been US Military employees for well over a decade.
          And their spawn, extended family, smelly food, goats,sheep (no pigs) and camels.
          Not to mention shy little girls, that can be had for a price, if you are young enough, they are not complete savages,when it comes to sex.

          There are so many things to be scared of.
          The Southern Border is so last year, big chunks of the fence (wall?) have fallen down, more to follow.

        4. Biden importing COVID patients the way he is doing it is his worst crime, but being a Democrat he is probably being protected.

    1. Another way to look at it is she will not dictate to private businesses a policy she has no constitutional authority over. Now the State legislature could pass a bill forbidding mandatory vaccines or any medical procedure anywhere in the State.The Congress could do the same for all fifty States. We can only hope and pray.

    2. As a rule employers are not stupid, they will never fire a good employee who is producing for the business, no matter how fat, or if they smoke. Governments, cannot get into the business of telling companies how to run their businesses. I agree with Noem.

      1. Covid is not good for business.

        Governments tell companies what they can put in the air and water, how bad they smell, how loud they are, how much water they use, how much power they can use not mention the number of fire extinguishers….

    3. There will be many businesses that will hire the better working employees regardless of the jab and they will thrive while people decide to stay away from those businesses that require it.
      LET THE MARKETS DECIDE, that is what makes capitalism so great.

      1. Most any company with over one hundered employees will have a jab policy regardless of the work quality of individual employee.

        Meat packing houses will be insisting on jab.
        Covid is bad for business.
        Busisness knows how to stop it.

    4. In a free society, employers should be able to hire and fire according to their own personal decisions, and NOT be influence in any way by the actions or statements of any government authority. That’s the way it was set up by the Founders, who were concerned with subduing any kind of government power to individual liberty, and who would roll over in their graves if they could see what this country has turned into by government dictatorships at all levels.

      All of history has been the struggle of individuals (and their rights) against the all-powerful control of government. This battle continues, and is more important today than at any time since the American Revolution

      1. In a free society an employer should be able to hire and fire based on their sensibilities of skin tone, sexual orientation sexual availability and age (if they are young enough the rest don’t matter).

    5. What about employees who have AIDS or Hepatitis or Ebola? The whole thing is meant to decrease population. Watch your faxed friends get more side effects soon.

  2. Actually it’s coming out from “experts” that the vaccine is more dangerous than getting covid. I wish someone who knows something would find out the truth about the covid. It was great at first and now suddenly it murders you. Come on, what is the truth, it’s a lousy vaccine with ingredients that are known and have been used in the past and the past use of these ingredients should tell us if they are useful or are murdering us. This is 2021 not the middle ages, scientists are capable of studying the ingredients of the vaccine and from prior use can tell us what is the truth.

    1. Look at the thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of other adverse reactions listed on the Vaccine Adverse Events Report System (VAERS.gov). This is only a small portion of the actual numbers, because they are way behind with the entries.

      1. Behind with entries or willfully not posting them. Brazil’s VAERS has reported over 30,000 deaths from vaccines. We’re definitely under reporting. Thousands of women are suffering menstrual irregularities from periods every week to women in post menopause suddenly menstruating. It’s destroying their natural reproductive system.

    2. Just read Dr. Joseph Mercola’s HIGHLY referenced book “The Truth about COVID-19”. It will stop you in your tracks with what is behind it and make you want to share info with your loved ones before too late.

      1. But many people are resisting. I believe that like the flu vaccines this should be an individuals choice. Get government and the vaccine nazis out of it. I took them and it was mildly uncomfortable and that has been nearly a year ago. For some whose immune systems are challenged the problems are likely higher. No guarantees come with vaccines ever. Even a flu shot can kill some. But the real point is most save billions of lives compared to those who react. Think big when you think vaccine!

    3. The TRUTH is out there but being CENSORED by the so called “experts”. This virus is over 99.0% survivable by those who get it. Can’t say the same for those that get the so called vaccine as we have NO IDEA what the LONG TERM effects will be!

      It’s reported that over 5,000 deaths have been reported to the GOVERNMENT;S VAERS (sp?) and NORMALLY only 1% of reactions are reported, so DO THE MATH!

      More DEATHS with this ONE so called “vaccine” than TOTAL deaths from all vaccines over the last THIRTY YEARS!!

    4. Oh but the 2022 elections are coming and the dim wits are running the same scam they did in 2020. Lock up everyone all over again and then pretend to mail out billions of mail in votes to their collectors to fill those suitcases full of ready made votes for dim wits again this year. Take no chances of losing anything is the motto of the dim wits, depend on covid and fraud!!!.

    5. Not true. Until this “vaccine”, mRNA had never been used on humans. It is NOT a “lousy vaccine” like they used to make. Novovax is the only one currently on the table that is a traditional vaccine. It is made in Maryland, but a small company and the FDA “paused” the EUA for it while they “push” the other shots.

      1. Plus, per Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson’s OWN web sites, posting Their research, none of the “vaccines” were even designed to Prevent anything. They are only meant to “lessen severity of symptoms.”

        1. No vaccine is 100%..
          If you understood how virus vaccines worked you would know that you have to get the diease for your body to make the antibodies.
          You won’t even notice the symptoms.
          You don’t notice most of the organisms that attack your body

    6. There is alot of “truth” about Covid vaxs but hard to find since everything is censored if you speak out. They’re not good — check Sherry Tenpenny’s website … she’s a doctor and tells the truth about them.

    7. The truth is in your beliefs.
      If your believe it is true then it is true.
      The same as your belief in Jesus Christ.
      Jesus is truth because you believe!!!

  3. Noem posed: “If we mandate one thing, are we setting a precedent for what we are telling businesses they have to do far into the future?” Don’t worry Kristi the Democrats will quickly step up and that for you!

  4. Cancel culture and socialist force is spreading like wildfire. Why can’t EVERYBODY see the socialist oppressive state sliding in?

    1. America has been Socialist for well over eighty years.

      Everybody does not see things the way you do.
      Have you ever wondered why?

  5. From what I understand, if you get the shot, no more blood donations from those people. This is America and it is against the Constitution for this type of mandate. Do you want the USA to become a communist country ?

  6. It’s a public health crisis, people! It’s no accident the infection rate went up 5x after Sturgis. What a dereliction of duty for Noem to ignore public health concerns for this phastasmal “freedom” crap.

    1. It’s the gubbermints job to PROTECT our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, LIBERTIES and PROTECTIONS, PERIOD! Nothing else!!

  7. Honestly, precedents mean nothing to liberals – only to the British royal family. I don’t buy the argument that by not taking an action today precludes liberals from taking a disastrous action tomorrow.

  8. There’s a lot of information about these vaccines but not from the USA. I will only mention this, anything that Bill Gates, George Soros, Anthony Fauci, & NIH has their hands in i would question! I do not recommend these vaccines. The CDC has not been upfront about stats, and there’s some shenanigans going on with the FDA. Reports are out there, so if you rely on the mainstream media your not going to hear anything. Other countries have reported deaths and permanent side effects. They will be removing the rapid PCR test off the market, because the test was a false positive test, because it couldn’t tell the difference between covid or the flu. That’s where our flu stats went this past flu season, categorization was covid. There is no test to distinguish between covid or a covid variant. This was asked by a doctor inquiring at a medical facility and told this on a video on Rumble, the actual phone call.

  9. Shame on you Governor! What makes you think government and state workers are more important than private business workers? They both have bills to pay and family’s to care for. How dare you pick sides! You represent the entire state of South Dakota, not just a select few!

      1. Albert you need to get lost and disappear! You have too much time on your hands to comment on everything you disagree with. Get a life!

  10. i keep saying it so when are you going to get it We The People NEED TO COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW TO FIGHT THIS CRAP !!!

    1. No one is forcing them to quit.
      They are choosing to quit over a change in safety policy.
      It is unsafe to work around unvaccinated people.

  11. Per Fauci, no one who isn’t sneezing or coughing can transmit anything to anyone. So the unvaxed are not a problem. The problem is those who are vaxed because they have become “gain of function disease factories” creating new variants and spreading them to others. It’s the vaxed who should be quarantined! No one has any authority or right to punish, segregate, intimidate, coerce, torture or otherwise deprive anyone of their right to make decisions about their own health and well-being, or that of their family. Any order that directly infringes upon the Natural Rights of the American people, those you have taken an oath to protect and defend, resulting in any “deprivation of Rights” or a “conspiracy” to deprive Citizens of the constitutionally protected Natural Rights, is a crime of the highest order. It is “treason.” The 4th Amendment protects every American’s right to be “secure in their person.”  Any act that violates this protected Natural Right is a “deprivation of rights” punishable by death.

  12. Very Disappointed in Kristi !!! Thought she was better than that …. why is their a problem with “MY BODY MY CHOICE” ??? Circle back, Kristi

  13. Be advised that mRNA gene therapy was a bioweapon developed in Soviet Russia in about 1975. It was brought to America by Dr Malone in about mid 1990’s. This is what is in the VAXX JAB. It will kill you, it is not a VACCINE. millions of people in America know this and will not kill themselves………….

  14. To keep forever vaccines in place the left needs super spreaders. The super spreaders are the foreigners invading USA over the southern border. C-19 for all intent is over but the variant(s) will continue to mutate & the vaccine for C-19 will not be adequate or appropriate for variant eradication. Now, remember that Bill Gates is a huge vaccine and eugenics proponent. Gates is a globalist along with other billionaires, don’t trust them. Think for yourself they do not have your best interest at heart.

  15. Governor Noem is way ahead of the usual-think conclusions. Whatever happened to the excellent results many doctors saw by prescribing Hydroxychloroquine as a way around crowded hospitals. What do patients have to lose? asked Trump. Their lives, snide Fauci-ites replied. But over 600,000 chose to die without giving it a chance, apparently. So maybe there’s a better answer.

  16. This is America.
    I have the absolute right to ban people who do not cover their noses, mouths and anuses from my place of business.
    Nobody wants to see Trump’s anus.

  17. The lady has guts and common sense! Government was not intended to interfere in our options or choices for our individual bodies. Mandates only lead to insurrections .. haven’t we had enough???

  18. If people choose to take the jab, then its not their business if others choose freedom to decline a disastrous rushed experimental jab when people are not informed of the contents and side effects, even death? Surely if the vaccines Big Pharma are pushing are so great, then other people shouldn’t worry you?

  19. OSHA I believe has come out and backed that if an employer mandates shots they take on the responsibility for any negative reactions caused by the shot.
