      This article is getting a lot of flak but I think the basic argument is right. However personally annoying vaccine hesitant people might be, we have to craft arguments that are aimed at persuasion.https://twitter.com/NRO/status/1416100329649807367 …

      Risk-benefit calculation: I can’t get this job unless I’m vaccinated; I can’t go to the ball game unless I’m vaccinated…okay I’ll get vaccinated. Mandate, like smoking bans, because it’s harming others in public. End of story.

      As soon as the FDA fully approves the vaccines without the emergency authorization, mandates will legally come into play.

      They can legally come into play now, at least for private businesses and venues. You don't have to go in if you don't want to.

      How will you have mandates where they are most needed when red state governments will fight them tooth and nail?https://twitter.com/yeselson/status/1416476134280138760 …

      Arkansas state legislature made it “illegal for any state or local entity, including public hospitals, to require coronavirus vaccination as a condition of education or employment until two years after the Food and Drug Administration fully licenses a shot.”

          These are happening in some places and are being challenged in court. Businesses will win out in the end I believe. Bottom line is that it will be the only way.

          There’s still my suggestion of starting a false rumor that Democrats are using vaccination to *replace* “Patriotic” Americans.
