I don't think most Western will mandate it. But there is a strong logical case for doing so, or at least denying access to certain public spaces and services if you refuse.
I don't think our politicians generally have the balls to do something that controversial though.
- petertodd 6y agoDenying access to public spaces and services is one step removed from mandating it...
- eloff 6y agoYes. I think you could make a case for doing that. I don't think it will happen.
- titanomachy 6y agoI think it depends on how many people take the vaccine willingly. If enough people are vaccinated, the spread will effectively stop and countries can start to reopen. My hunch is that enough people will be willing to take the [apparently small] risk and we won't have to pressure anyone. Also, for at least the next few months we won't even be able to meet the demand for vaccines, so it'll be a while before that's a concern.
- eloff 6y agoYes, that seems to be the case. Society can tolerate a certain level of antivaxxers without losing herd immunity. Why mandate what people would do voluntarily anyway.
