Good question from Jake Tapper just now: wouldn't a vaccine mandate make more sense than a mask mandate to end this pandemic right now?

Susan Glasser Jake Tapper I’m vaccinated & I want everyone to get vaccinated. But the govt requiring any type of medical treatment seems wrong. It seems like an authoritarian exercise. Banning unvaccinated from public transportation & bldgs, private biz requiring for employees & customers etc all good.

@lisasalmon42 Susan Glasser Jake Tapper The government has required vaccinations for decades. In order for children to attend school, they must show proof of vaccinations for many diseases.

TSlothrop Susan Glasser Jake Tapper Sure, I agree that should continue. Any parent who wants to opt their kid out can choose another option to educate like homeschooling.

@lisasalmon42 Susan Glasser Jake Tapper But isn't that the government requiring vaccination?
