I do see this as a precursor to mandating vaccinations of the able public, and as much as setting that particular precident scares me it seems necessary at this point.
Social distancing directives have proven to be effective when enforced, but time and time again we are seeing outbreaks when and where those restrictions are ignored. For all of the fears about possible side effects of the vaccine, we seem to be getting away from the original issue:
For every day that we delay, more people will die.
- vmception 5y agoCould it really be a precedent when polio vaccines have been mandatory in all states for generations of children. Suggest we're just making up what authoritative idea would be considered a precedent. Republics or Representative Democracies or whatever can and do authoritative things. Typically you regulate the intermediary instead of regulate the individual, ie school admission requiring it, military service requiring it, travel requiring it etc.
