LA County Sheriff, sworn to uphold the law, vows to violate County vaccine mandate

2021-10-08 00:00:00

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said he will refuse County orders to compel department employees to get vaccinated against Covid.

Villanueva told viewers on a live Facebook press conference that he won't fire anyone who won't get the shot.

"No, I am not forcing anyone," he said, "The issue has become so politicized there are entire groups of employees that are willing to be fired and laid off rather than get vaccinated. I don't want to be in a position to lose 5 to 10% of my workforce overnight on a vaccine mandate."
