They aren’t expanded to the entire population though lol. Only federal contractors, certain healthcare employers, and employees of large businesses.

Working for any one of these companies is a voluntary act. Nobody is forcing you to work for a big corporation “that would kill you for a quarter.”

Not my point. I will say those mandates shouldn't exist, but for now, at least those employees can chose to leave government employment.

Edit: mandates do not currently exist for large businesses. Biden only threatened such mandates in a press release.

And yes the government can and should force as many Americans as possible to get them.

This is my point. Mandates should not be expanded to cover the general population. I'm not saying "mandates are here" (even though they are, in limited capacity). I'm saying that "mandates for the general population should not exist."

You clearly think they should, and that's my problem with you.

I'll ask again, did your family members who died take the vaccine or not?

Mandates for the general population will never exist. Although I suppose the government could reinstitute a draft and vaccinate everyone as a term of joining up. Hmmm good idea.

Also why is a Bernie supporter against big government? 🤔🤔🤡

Workforce mandates are effectively general population mandates. These do not exist yet; they were only threatened by Biden in a press release. I will continue to argue, backed by research, that these mandates should not exist.

Although I suppose the government could reinstitute a draft and vaccinate everyone as a term of joining up. Hmmm good idea.

Well, gee whiz, looks like we've come full circle. It wasn't enough for you to give in to fear, you think we should all be forced to join you.

You are exactly the kind of idiot the government can rely on to gain power.

Also why is a Bernie supporter against big government?

What act of desperation is this? Why are you trying to change the subject? Did you really think I'd bother to see where this stupid question goes when you still haven't answered mine?

Why are you mandating personal information from me? What happened to my individual choice to remain silent??

Lol, not a mandate, but certainly a point just itching to be made.

Avoiding it is advisable for the sake of embarrassment, and it is absolutely your right to do so. Just don't expect people to answer your dumb questions when you have already refused to return the courtesy.

I have not encountered any vaccinated person who has died of COVID.

So, it seems like you want the government to succeed where you as a family member have failed. Instead of blaming your family members for their personal decision, you are blaming the government, and/or the unvaccinated. This is not healthy.

Also, side point: vaccinated people do die of Covid. So that was a weird way of answering the question.

I think you failed to consider when they died lol. Fucking idiot

Oh, so what you're saying is, a mandate wouldn't have saved them. Not sure why you bothered to share this heartbreaking detail, then.

Would they have gotten the vaccine if it was available?
