The petition was criticized by public health officials and other politicians for containing what they described as misinformation. In 2022, he reportedly faced criticism and later apologized for a social media post that appeared to draw a comparison between federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates and historical events in Nazi Germany. The post was condemned by several groups, including the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.
