@mchill saidWhy do you insist on conflating "resistance to vaccine mandates" with "resistance to vaccines"?
Poor little Republicans, their silly arguments and resistance to vaccines is crumbling before our eyes. Watch as Chris Wallace forces Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts to confront the flaws in his silly statements, and left him babbling incoherently.
I (almost) felt sorry for this guy. 😏

As far as I know, there isn't a single governor in the Union that hasn't encouraged the people to get vaccinated.

@sh76 saidWhy? It is what they do. One of them, changed the word mandate to the word encourage, as if we would not catch him!!

@sh76 saidWhy are GOP governors treating the covid vax differently from other vaxxes, now that it's proven safe, effective In long term trials and FDA approved? Ricketts has no answer.

@wildgrass saidAs far as I know, no businesses are mandated under OSHA to ensure that all their employees are vaccinated against Measles or Chicken Pox or subject them to weekly tests.

@no1marauder saidThat has nothing to do with whether the comparison is apples-to-apples (as I showed, it is not).
Have those diseases killed 700,000 Americans in the last year and a half?
My reasons for being skeptical of the mandate are similar to zdogg's.

The non-mandate is more to give cover for large employers who want to take such measures than anything else:
"Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security, said he thought companies would begin to implement mandates even before the rule takes effect because Biden's announcement, even without the regulatory action officially in place, would be enough.
"The biggest short-term thing that's going to happen is that many companies that were reticent to institute a vaccine mandate as a condition of employment are going to feel emboldened to do so now because they have the federal government kind of giving them a stamp of approval," Adalja said."

@sh76 saidWith all due respect sir, mandates, or no mandates, there should should not be an ounce of resistance to any of this. You've spoken several times in glowing terms how these vaccines are doing such a fine, job. So, why should anyone resist a mandate?

@mchill saidBecause you need to convince people; not force them. I don't think the government should be in the business of telling people what treatments to take.

@sh76 saidIt has zero teeth now; it's likely it will take OSHA a month or so to write the regulations to make them as lawsuit proof as possible. I suspect by that time most large companies will already have put in place vaccine or testing requirements. An educated guess is that is a design feature not a flaw.
"non-mandate"? Are you saying it has no teeth? Why?
@sh76 saidVaccines aren't treatments.

Mandatory vaccination during an epidemic was upheld by the SCOTUS more than a 100 years ago. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/197/11/
Convincing idiots that think (because they have been told by other idiots) they have a Constitutional right to spread deadly diseases if they so choose has proven problematical.
