The supreme court ruled that it's legal to mandate vaccinations in 1905. Boston fined people for not getting a smallpox vaccine. This seems like a better option

Don't want to get vaccinated? Fine. Have a valid medical reason, pay a $2500 fee, or leave the city.
>90% of people will just get vaccinated.
- chitowneats 5y agoThe result of this would be that many black and latino residents in, for example, the Bronx, would be fined more than they can afford or literally expelled from NYC.

- rtpg 5y agoI think there should be federally mandated sick leave for getting the vaccine cuz yeah if you're hourly and get this shot you are paying for it in lost revenue. So let's make the policy be "you get $500 to get the vaccine or get a doctor's note saying why not. If not you pay a fine". Yeah Bezos gets it (that's why you tax rich people more than poor people, to get the money back later). Now do you have a problem with this policy?
