The government itself did not mandate any vaccine.
The private sector decided to cooperate with the government and the trillions of dollars it dangled to influence them into mandating vaccines.
Easily tens of millions of Americans were told they could lose their jobs if they did not submit to the experiment.
Yes, and no on the government mandate. The military was forced to get jabbed or get kicked out, NY required vaccine passports to go to a restaurant, governors of blue states required state employees to, etc, etc
You said: “The government itself did not mandate any vaccine.”
Wrong. If you wanted to be treated at any Veteran’s Administration hospital, you had to show proof of vaccination, or you would be denied entrance. I know this to be a fact based on personal experience.
Government mandated vaccines and tests to go in and out of the country.
