Except vaccine mandates are nothing new?

Neither is abuse of powers implemented in the heat or passions of a crisis... Yet nevertheless, both still persist.

But they are. I don't remember not being able to go somewhere and eat or work in government. Never has anyone asked or mandated a vaccine for employment for any place I've worked. You can't fly, take a train without them. That's new.. very new.

  What an interesting perspective. I've never heard about people who determine the validity of laws based on their ability to remember them. How did you arrive at this way of thinking?

  What about all this? https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/10/08/states-have-mandated-vaccinations-since-long-before-covid-19/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/10/08/states-have...

    That's true and a barrier. But my comment was limited to activities you couldn't do before to a number of things like flying or eating anywhere.

  George Washington required immunization of all his forces against smallpox. That was in 1777. Look it up. It's not new. Please do at least five seconds of googling before making this assertion in public again. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/10/08/states-have-mandated-vaccinations-since-long-before-covid-19/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/10/08/states-have...

    The US military has forced many drugs on their employees. I do not doubt some vaccines are required and they will do it for you on. Preventing a retired person who hasn't agreed to give away rights from eating food is not the same.

    And the us military also gave their soldiers Benzedrine (Amphetamine) during ww2. Your point?

  I take it you never worked in childcare?

    Yeah, and? It's one thing to ban someone from a specific occupation, and another to ban someone from all/most jobs.

    I worked as a councillor in a at risk youth rec center. Formal position with required Police check and lengthy interview process. No vaccine question or requirement.
