      We have ~decades~ of evidence showing that vaccines mandates can be effective. It depends on circumstances, of course, but there's certainly evidence therehttps://twitter.com/RyanMarino/status/1422774070551236609 …

      We all know that guy who thinks he’s smarter than everyone even though he is not. Here he argues that we need studies before mandating public health. But then he says the decades of data we have from public health mandates doesn’t count & isn’t applicable to *new* public health. pic.twitter.com/VIyMd8he9u

      If your argument is that "data are not relevant to the moment" but you don't even look at the data, your opinions are pretty useless tbh

          As a general rule, mandates are very effective at encouraging behaviour, but come with significant trade-offs Mandating vaccines would probably increase rates of immunization substantially, but at a cost to vulnerable populations

          Houston Methodist Hospital shows mandates work. Yes, 153 staff either resigned or were fired for non-compliance, but over 24,000 staff complied and got vaccinated. That's a great rate of uptake.

          In a bioethics course (doing a masters). To me it's straightforward and not even binary. The question is when! Must admit I am a public health nut. (Although I am a haematologist and working on being a bioethesist)

          Can you also share the data as to how vaccination mandates that lead to social unrest perform? We've seen protests against such mandate in Europe and would very likely in other developed countries.
