They don't need to use force? Tell me, who are these people who will enforce this in the grocery stores and other venues?
This will be implemented the same way that CalOSHA tried to push vaccinations six weeks ago. It boiled down to setting up a system, using the existing worker safety laws, that puts the onus on the employer to become the vaccine enforcement arm of the government.
In their system, if you didn’t put in place a mandatory vaccine policy (they worded it differently, but that was the effect), you assumed a fairly large administrative burden to identify the vaxed and the unvaxed, put in place “safety” measures to “protect” the vaxed from the unvaxed (I know) etc. There was no force involved though. Perfectly free to operate without it, as long as you’re willing to accept the costs and the liability (all it takes is one disgruntled employee and you’ve got a CalOSHA headache to deal with).
So, we’re a privately held company. We decided to respect people’s privacy, and just assume the costs and the risks. Larger corporations won’t do that. We’re already seeing this, today, in the medical field, and if there’s a “mandate”, as discussed in the posted article, other industries will grumble, but will comply.
So who will enforce the jab if they mandate the vax for employment? The employers will. No publicly traded company will rebel. Some mom and pop operators will fight, but they will be cleaned up in detail.
Retail? Combination of worker safety laws, business license enforcement, and who knows, fines for the businesses that resist.
Banking? Do you really think that Wells Fargo will violate a federal policy that they require customers to prove their vax status? No way.
There will be no rounding up and putting people in gulags, because no significant numbers of people will resist a mandate with force.
None of this is new, just the context is changed.
They won’t accept your money so how are you going to get out of the store with goods?
Need to buy food at the Grocery store? Sorry, need the jab. Need a job? Sorry, if you want to work, you’ll need the jab. They don’t need to use force.

What if insurance providers refuse payment for hospital treatment if you have not been vaxxed?
I would hope that those in the food business would get the vaccines if they are in good shape. Contaminated food has been one of the great disease spreaders of even modern times (spoiled meats, fish, poultry, eggs, lettuce (from California where workers used to crap in the fields), etc.
Cashiers should also get them as they touch contaminated money all the time. Many now wear gloves at work and in the few stores I go to, I haven’t heard of any COVID cases.
We can bend a bit where it makes good sense.
The same goes for wearing a mask inside a food store.
I haven’t had my shot yet because of medical conditions (as in I have a serious iron anemia deficiency, low blood counts, and am awaiting tests to see if my pancreatic cancer was destroyed a couple years ago or is back (which would be fatal).
However, I think I’ll get it soon since my doctors have cleared me for the Moderna vaccine. Less side effects. What have I got to lose if my tests show that I have cancer again?
