For healthcare workers, the issue blew up around 2009 during the H1N1 Influenza outbreak. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/SwineFluNews/mandatory-flu-vaccines-upset-nurses/story?id=8727353
But many places (including some of the largest healthcare employers in the country) already had policies in place: get vaccinated or don’t work here.
As for the article, it’s some people posting their opinions on how to coerce people into getting vaccinated. They’re free to post their opinions as they like. Now show me a government policy mandating it for everyone and I’ll absolutely oppose that. I think it would be a poor decision to not take a vaccine for this bug, but in this country, we’re supposed to have the freedom to make poor decisions.
Truer words were never said! $;-)
