.MaddowBlog: A staple of Republican orthodoxy for generations is an unshakable belief in the free market and the power of decision-making in the private sector. It's curious to see those principles get pushed aside during a pandemic.

In states like Texas and Florida, Americans see Republican governors struggling to keep up with an intensifying pandemic crisis, while simultaneously prohibiting mask requirements and vaccine mandates that would help make a difference as the virus spreads.

In Texas, this week, owners of two restaurants in Austin announced plans to require indoor diners to show proof of at least a first round of vaccinations against COVID-19.

In this case, the restaurant owners were told they had no choice in the matter, so they reversed course to avoid closure. First, it's hard not to notice that, as far as many Republicans are concerned, if a business wants to deny service to an LGBTQ couple, the rights of those business owners must be protected at all costs, but if a business wants to deny service to the unvaccinated, that's an intolerable outrage.
