Under what circumstances would you fully support a Covid-19 vaccine mandate?

If it actually was a pandemic and not a political weapon. 99% of America supports vaccination for measles and polio. We aren’t resisting on things that are actual deadly diseases.

If COVID was bad enough you wouldn’t need a mandate.

There is no reason to enforce this

Assume the risk of a virus that under 50 has like a 99% survival rate

Do you want politicians forcing medical decisions on you?

End of story

If it was killing healthy, young, people like the Spanish Flu did; then, yes - absolutely. This ain't the Spanish Flu though. It's tearing through 80+ year olds and people with multiple comorbidities.

To put it bluntly, I'd rather get Covid-19 than the Flu. I've known several people that had Covid-19 and it was like a mild cold. For one of them, the only way they knew they even had it was the transient loss of sense of taste.

I did get the Pfizer shot(s), because of my age and I trusted the advice of my doctor. I, however, wouldn't recommend it to a young <50 year old; healthy person, because it seems rather unnecessary.

That being said, I consider myself pretty healthy. Normal BMI and I make an effort to exercise 3-4 times a week.

This is how rational Americans think.....unfortunately we have authoritarian Marxists running the government.

Sure. If the vaccine worked and covid was 10x deadlier.

But if that was true you wouldn’t need a mandate. People would be lined up to get it.

Never

I know people who died from it in their late 30s. The average US citizen should be getting vaccinated due to risk. I am not going to sit here and demand a mandate, but I think it is a strange thing to be so against this particular vaccine.

I would love to see someone explain to a 20-40 year old why they should get the vaccine

And many people are being forced to possibly lose their jobs over this

Hint: Protecting others isn't an answer
