What's the political take? Calling it unlawful? How is the mandate doing in court so far? There are numerous videos over the last 1.5 years of high ranking officials saying the federal government doesn't have the authority to force vaccination. We're also way past it being an emergency and they've had every opportunity to get a law passed, but they haven't. Legislation by fiat is a poor substitute.
That said, everyone should get vaccinated, please. The numbers and the science aren't even close on this one. The mere reduction in harm to the person getting vaccinated is enough to justify this. The added benefit of reducing the spread is also beneficial to others.
At the same time, we shouldn't be cheering on the government to extend its power and to inflict things on the people we don't like (both the mandate, and the $1 mil fine fall into this).
