Covid-19 Vaccine mandates will backfire. People will resist even more.
Washington Post via MSN ^ | 08/01/2021 | aylor Dotson, Nicholas Tampio

In recent weeks, calls for vaccine mandates have increasingly been heard: In a column headlined “Stop pleading with anti-vaxxers and start mandating vaccinations,” The Washington Post’s Max Boot implored President Biden to “stop making reasonable appeals to those who will not listen to reason.” Former Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius lamented that “we’re going to tiptoe around mandates,” and she’s “kind of over that.”

A coalition of medical professional organizations, including the American Medical Association, has asked for “all health care and long-term care employers to require their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.”

Meanwhile, there’s a top-down push to get reluctant citizens vaccinated: The White House and the Department of Education partnered with colleges and universities on a “Covid-19 College Vaccine Challenge.” On Monday, the Department of Veterans Affairs became the first federal agency to mandate vaccinations for more than 100,000 of its employees. On Thursday, Biden announced that civilian federal workers must be vaccinated or submit to regular coronavirus testing.

But if this rhetoric and these efforts lead to a de facto national vaccine mandate, it will backfire: Americans from all walks of life resist being told what to put into their bodies, and many will resent any politician or institution that makes them get vaccinated, creating a crisis of legitimacy for any government, university or business that forces constituents, students or employees to get vaccinated. Indeed, the president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association has already said, “There will be a lot of pushback” from members of his organization against the federal employee mandate.

One only has to look at what’s going on in France right now to see what will happen here.

That’s why Hitler said to kill one, then ten, then 100, then 1,000, then 10,000.

Until people comply.

Hard to believe, but liberals and conservatives may find common ground in the declaration “My body, my choice”.

The Washington Post is running this article? Interesting. Are they trying to warn Dementia Joe?

Here’s what the Biden Regime and all their thugs better realize; when people feel like they have nothing to lose, they’ll not only resist, but demand justice.

My family are all in Michigan, and they know folks who’ve lost EVERYTHING due to this F-ing shutdown! These Leftist thugs try another shutdown, and they’ll have only themselves to blame for the rage that will be released! This is different than just some minor discomforts we’ve experienced in the past. Many Americans have lost everything for absolutely nothing!

I really hope Biden and Fauci are watching closely what’s happening in France!

Sounds like today’s typical public school student writing a slogan in an English Class :)

I see leftists on FB in my area of Southern New England (CT and western/parts of central MA) demanding shutdowns and mandates and angry that Lamont or Baker haven’t mandated mask, new lock downs, etc.

Each day the numbers of people who have had enough seem to increase while the same Karen’s get more angry and adamant.

Despite all this very little talk form the Goverors about new restrictions. I’m not sure what will happen, but I suspect they aren’t as lock-down happy as before.

I am from northern CT—and most folks around here are just living their lives as if the virus did not exist.

No drama, no politics, just normal people doing normal stuff.

....

I agree! I think it’s the fringe nuts who want another round of lockdowns, but my anecdotal observation is, most people have had it!

While this isn’t scientific, I have noticed something interesting; when you go to YouTube, it has a “Covid” section with covid related news videos from News outlets like CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC etc. The dislikes for all of these videos outnumbers the likes by at least 4 to 1...probably much more! And the comments are very encouraging! People really do get what’s happening, and understand the deception and lies that are taking place from Fauci, the CDC, and the Biden regime! FR is kind of an echo chamber, but going to a place like YT, and reading the comments from all sorts of people, it provides a little hope!
