The next coronavirus surge seems to be underway... The causes of this pronounced rush of cases — the spread of a more infectious B.1.1.7 variant and lockdown fatigue — are not going away.
We need to sharply reduce coronavirus infections to turn the tide and quell the pandemic. The best hope is to maximize the number of people vaccinated, especially among those who interact with many others and are likely to transmit the virus.
How can we increase vaccinations? Mandates.
Vaccines should be required for health care workers and for all students who plan to attend in-person classes this fall — including younger children once the vaccine is authorized for them by the Food and Drug Administration.
Employers should also be prepared to make vaccines mandatory for prison guards, E.M.T.s, police officers, firefighters and teachers if overall vaccinations do not reach the level required for herd immunity. Short of a mandate, these workers should be reminded that these vaccines have proved safe and are important not only for their health, but for the health of those they deal with in their jobs.
...
Mandates are the fastest way to get to herd immunity. Frontline workers should be at the start of the line.
...
None of us likes being told what to do. But getting vaccinated is not just about our personal health, but the health of our communities and country.
Health care workers are professionals whose primary obligation is to their patients’ health and well-being. Except in extreme cases, their personal preferences are secondary.
...
Similarly, all colleges and school districts should mandate that students who are authorized to receive Covid-19 vaccines get them. ... Religious or philosophical exemptions should not be allowed.

Ezekiel J. Emanuel is Nazi who happens to be an ersatz Jew.
Born at a different time he would have been a Kapo.
More choreographed propaganda...
Interesting...Zeke Emanuel (the author of this editorial) vowed to refuse not only heroic medical interventions once he turned 75, but also antibiotics and VACCINATIONS.
So he wants to force “vaccinations” now, yet he says he wont take them after 75?
And just how old is Biden...?
Note below, Zeke Emanuel:
In October 2014, Ezekiel Emanuel published an essay in the Atlantic called “Why I Hope to Die at 75.” Because Emanuel is a medical doctor and chair of the University of Pennsylvania’s department of medical ethics and health policy, as well as a chief architect of Obamacare, the article stirred enormous controversy.
Emanuel vowed to refuse not only heroic medical interventions once he turned 75, but also antibiotics and vaccinations. His argument: older Americans live too long in a diminished state, raising the question of, as he put it, “whether our consumption is worth our contribution.”
Emanuel was born into a combative clan. One brother, Rahm, recently completed two terms as the controversial mayor of Chicago; another brother, Ari, is a high-profile Hollywood agent. But even given his DNA, Emanuel’s death wish was a provocative argument from a medical ethicist and health-care expert.
Emanuel, now 62, talked with me about the social implications of longevity research and why he isn’t a fan of extending life spans. I was particularly curious to get his reaction to several promising new anti-aging drugs.
Q: It’s five years since you published the essay. Any second thoughts as you near the deadline?
A: Not really! [Laughing]
Q: You announced that you wouldn’t take any measures to prolong your life after 75. Isn’t that an extreme position?
A: First of all, it’s not an extreme position. I’m not going to die at 75. I’m not committing suicide. I’m not asking for euthanasia. I’m going to stop taking medications with the sole justification that the medication or intervention is to prolong my life.
Q. But it’s called “Why I hope to die …”
“The world will exist fine if you happen to die. Great people, maybe even people greater than you, like Newton and Shakespeare and Euler—they died.”
A. As you probably know better than everyone else, it’s editors that choose titles and not authors.
I often get, from the people who want to dismiss me, “You know, my Aunt Nellie, she was clear as a bell at 94, and blah-blah-blah …” But as I said in the article, there are outliers. There are not that many people who continue to be active and engaged and actually creative past 75. It’s a very small number.

No.
You have a nice day now.
Sounds like Nazi Germany desperate dictates.
Dr Death Panels Emmanuel.

Since lockdowns, masking, vaccinations, etc., don’t seem to be working, how about we stop doing all this nonsense, and see if herd immunity might solve the problem!
Not everyone can take vaccines.
But if you took the “vaccine”, then you are safe and you needn’t worry about me.
The flower girl at my wedding (1978) just
died frim COVID-19. Age 49. She met none
of your criteria.
Add Selenium 400 mcg. Very important trace mineral.
I was having a great day until I read what Zeke Emanuel had to say.
STFU ZEIK
Daughter, SIL & 2 kids were sick & diagnosed in December & even tho we had dinner with them the night before their symptoms started, we didn’t get it. This was during the time we had our hellacious 5-day moving “adventure,” living on toast & coffee & only getting 3 hours of sleep a night! Perfect candidates for a virus & yet nothing, FFS.
This is HORRID!!
Where are these parents?
Thanks for the link and ping.
Pinging others.
BTTT
They are not forcing you to take a vaccine so they can feel safe....they are forcing you to take a vaccine because they must be perceived as right in everything regardless of the harm or hurt it can cause. Its the same psychological problem they have with transgenderism. They are so resistant to the fact that their world view promotes the single highest suicidality rates in the world but they MUST BE CORRECT so all of us will bow to their god.
I was having a great day until I read what Zeke Emanuel had to say.
And appropriately placed in the NYT...Didn’t they suppress news of the Holocaust?
“How can we increase vaccinations? Mandates.”
How can we cover our arse when we haven’t delivered the product, proven it has been up to the success rate we promised to get ourselves elected, been able to show the virus is going to go away...first sentence of this covers it.
We have been in the shadow of this virus for over a year and a half. The primary group receiving the vaccine has been medical providers from the start. In last years census it stated that there were 20,498,753 medical providers in the US and that they were the largest business in the country.
According to NPR, since COVID-19 vaccine distribution began in the United States on Dec. 14, more than 205 million doses have been administered, fully vaccinating over 82.3 million people or 24.8% of the total U.S. population. Math says that is 4 times he amount of workers they were taking care of first. Why aren’t they finished? Simple, the Biden administration couldn’t justify taking care of doctors while their patient were dying in front of them without enough care. They aren’t taking care of anyone properly. They were losing votes.
But the real telltale is that they want to give students the priority. Without teachers, they will have no reason to go to class. But there is no way the libs are going to bail out on their largest base of voters two years from another election.
So there are a number of reasons all the medical providers are not vaccinated. The main on being politics rather than need for public safety.
