    to put it bluntly i think those who choose not to vaccinate should pay a price...and while i have a view as to how best to incentivize vaccine taking i'm not gonna quibble about the details...different states and cities will adopt a variety of approaches.

    Yes we know you are a wannabe tyrant... getting to impose your mandates "for our own good"

    But the externalities of such a mandate probably hurt the small businesses more than the unclean people

    i think it's actually unclear how the mandate affects restaurants...it is something to watch...but an argument could be made that more people will go to a restaurant knowing the great unwashed er unvaccinated will not be dining there

    The compliance alone is probably a cost most can't afford to bear... before discussing closing off 40% of the population to them

    Same thing I've said for a couple of weeks once the breakthrough cases were made public.

    Plus there is no an additional risk where people are more at risk as the vaccine effectiveness wears. So there is a time period prior to your booster shot where you are reportedly more at-risk than you would be normally.

    Hopefully, right? Because at least we know a government app will work beautifully and won’t come with security concerns. Like when the MIT Review tested the New York app and didn’t have any issues:

    BTW, a paper vaccine card too big to fit in a wallet is the most government thing ever.

    You had doctors from all over the world that have fell victim to politics.

    The idea of not allowing treatment to be a decision between the doctor and patient goes against everything the profession stands for.

    If I'm an ambulance chaser lawyer, I'm sending in several covid + people with no vaccine. Sue the crap out of their malpractice.
