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.”
Editorial board of Salt Lake Tribune calls for vaccine mandates and for the Utah governor to “deploy the National Guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere.” https://t.co/hzYPsKZ40O

“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
