Palin appeared at Turning Point USA’s “AmericaFest 2021” conference in Phoenix, AZ — where she spoke on stage with the organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk. During this conversation, Kirk and the crowd cheered when Palin established her anti-vaccine stance. "It'll be over my dead body that I'll have to get a shot," Palin pledged to attendees of Turning Point USA's AmericaFest 2021 in Phoenix, AZ. "I will not do that. I won't do it, and they better not touch my kids either."
When questioned by TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk on what she would tell people who might be fired from a job or kicked out of school over an unwillingness to comply with a vaccine mandate, Palin responded, "I think if enough of us ... rise up and say, 'No, enough is enough,' there are more of us than there are of them."

Palin encouraged attendees to "stiffen their spines," declaring that "there is an empowerment in a group like this where we can kind of feed off each other and really be strong." Palin's remarks reflected similar comments made by Kirk and Fox host Tucker Carlson on the first day of the four-day event. "No one should be forced to get the vaccine against their will under any circumstances whatsoever," Kirk reasoned with the audience. "Period. End of story."
