An editorial in the Salt Lake Tribune is going viral after the paper called on the governor to mobilize the National Guard to keep the unvaccinated locked in their homes:
Editorial: "For more than two years now, officials at all levels and in all branches of our government have missed chance after chance to get a handle on this rapidly spreading and evolving virus."

And we mean that literally:
The editors want “. . . the National Guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere.”

“SuPpOrT lOcAl JoUrNaLiSm!” they shouted:
The Salt Lake City newspaper wants the Utah national guard to not allow unvaccinated people to leave their homes. This is mindless, anti-science insanity — omicron is infecting everyone — but these “journalists” are demanding totalitarianism. And they think they’re the good guys. pic.twitter.com/BYoskGNQ5R

And we’d really like to know how all the editors feel about this one:
I would like to know if there was any dissent on @sltrib’s editorial board when they discussed publicly calling for the National Guard to be deployed throughout Utah to “ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere.” #utpol pic.twitter.com/Zz5i6MjyU7
