The choice ... get vaccinated or you cannot work. 

Get vaccinated or become homeless and starve.  That is some choice.  

Maybe not literally a gun to the head forcing the vaccine, but essentially the same thing.

And moving on to another point raised elsewhere about control.

I am able to come to that conclusion based on two things.  The unwillingness to allow any considerations let alone discussion of natural immunity in the broad scope of dealing with the virus.  Secondly, what is going on at our southern border where absolutely none of the mandates and requirements being forced upon citizens are being done to the illegal migrants streaming across the border.  They are exempt and have been declared exempt by the Biden admin.  This destroys any thought or notion that all the mandates and requirements being forced on citizens is based on public safety.  The DHS sec has admitted that 20% of them have an "illness", yet absolutely nothing is being done to mitigate any of it.  Just bring them in and distribute them throughout the country with lord only knows what kinds of mutations of CV and any other diseases they may have and infect the population at large.

There is absolutely no way anyone can convince me that this is about public health and safety in any way, shape or form as long as the shit storm at our southern border continues the way it is.  I will add that there are about 70 million people who voted for Trump who feel much the same way.  So don't anyone try and say that they haven't heard this thought before or that few have this thought.  You are mistaken.

Not following unions in the USA but almost without exception, unions here in Canada are decidedly pro-vaccination and pro-mask, social distancing as required.

——————————————————————-

The USA already has an economy that evokes the dual economies of many emerging market economies such as Brasil.  (The "full employment" target of the Fed and others is a bit of a joke that can cause all kinds of macroeconomic instability.  Macroeconomic instability usually hammers the poor and low-income workers the most but I digress.)

By the time, US public agencies and private corporations finish enforcing vaccine mandates, a new type of dual economy will have been created in USA.  Fascinating.

Yes she uses it as background there, then at about 5:40-6:xx she talks about what "we" can do and mentions increasing hospital capacity "as Singapore has done."

I love the sentiment. But this line is really just a typing exercise (literally).  Maybe another perfect example of our folly.

Although you misunderstood, and responded inappropriately, you have managed to perfectly demonstrate the disconnect between the two sides.

That's Singapore....where they are 82% vaxxed.  They are seeing some of their highest infection/hospitalization rates ever, and are ramping up for 3 times as many cases now that they are "open"?

 Guess we'll find out how that "natural immunity" booster works with a country-wide clinical trial.

The government is trying to mandate.  Just read the news.  However I would like to say that I appreciate your discourse on this subject, you actually converse with respect and stick to ideas without being demeaning.  That means something at least to me.{#Cheers}
