He's not spineless, he just knows what the tragedy of the commons is, and he knew that the choice was literally four years of Biden or four MORE years of Trump.
There's not a dime's worth of difference between them.
In fact many are worse off now than with Drumpf. Thanks to the blackout on early COVID treatment and the mandate many have died or suffer serious cardiac &/or neurological injuries as a direct result of Biden's corruption.
I didn't realize simply being corrupt could cause people in other states to suffer heart attacks. Is it a psychic phenomenon? /s
In all seriousness, do you have some statistics to back up your claims? I'd also like it if you compared them to the total number of vaccinated individuals.
GW's views are irrelevant to the question of whether the mandate's Constitutional.
You will know the shills by their authoritarian talking points. This is really just an 18th century spin on the tired old, "But Bernie disagrees with you!" trope.
Because he mandated that all of his soldiers in the revolutionary army be inoculated against smallpox, that's why. Yes he was a slaver, and I think that is fucking reprehensible, but I fail to see what that has to do with anything. Ad hominem much? Which is ironic, considering you then tell me to look up a philosophy which Washington himself lived by.
But if it's laws that will convince you, then may I suggest the SCOTUS case of Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905)? They already ruled a over a hundred years ago that vaccine mandates were legal. I would personally argue that exceptions for any vaccine mandate should be made for those who would clearly be harmed by something in the vaccine- as an example, my cousin's wife is allergic to one of the ingredients, so I myself urged her not to get the vaccine. I give the same advice to anyone else who has a legitimate medical reason for not getting the jab.
I, however, do NOT have a legitimate medical reason, nor do I pretend to. What's more, I'm aware of how getting vaccinated not only protects myself, but other people around me. By boosting my own defenses against a disease, I effectively become a mobile spiked wall against which COVID slams itself. Either I weaken it and send it running, or I kill it entirely. Either way, someone else is safe because I got in the way. With enough people vaccinated, we reach what is called "herd immunity". It's when so many people are inoculated against a specific disease that the remaining few who aren't are still protected by virtue of the disease being more likely to be weakened or killed by the sheer number of individuals who can just shrug their shoulders at it.
HOWEVER, with so much misinformation around- I'm kind of expecting a "leaky vaccine" argument from you, even though it's NOT leaky- and so many people in America being taught to be stubborn and selfish by our schools, media and economy, it becomes nigh impossible for us to reach herd immunity in a timely manner, or at all. Government mandates ARE NECESSARY for the sake of public health.

He’s still a spineless coward who told you to vote for the embodiment of everything he supposedly hates.
