Questions about Biden’s vaccine mandate
Is the solution to “vaccine hesitancy” to ram the vaccine down people’s throats with heavy-handed federal rules, or to understand why they’re hesitant and address those concerns?
Are attacks on the unvaccinated racist, since Black and Hispanic people are disproportionately represented among that group? (A: no. I’m just illustrating how stupid some claims of racism are.)
Does the President have the authority to issue such a rule?
Does that matter?
Should he have such authority?
Wouldn’t it be better if a rule like this came out of Congress?
Is it fair to put all the “vaccine hesitant” in the same bucket? For example, I have a friend who has already had Covid and believes he has natural immunity.
