If fewer people dying/getting sick is a political goal, then more people dying/getting sick so that the current administration gets voted out can also be a political goal.

I'm not a fan of the situation, but you're acting like it's forced sterilization. It's just a vaccine with a very safe profile. For God's sake, all healthcare workers including the cleaning staff have to get flu shots and show their immunizations every year, or they can't work. Even as a college student I had to get a meningitis shot.

The difference is that those examples aren't mandated by the federal government (as far as I know). I think most people are fine with companies and universities requiring people to be vaccinated.

It's a 'new' tech with a lot of shady political hand waving that impacts your body. Like redefining vaccine, a rushed testing process and... oh yea the feds waived all legal liabilities for the private entities that developed it.

I think given the context that if your under 65 you are more likely to have medical complications driving to the grocery store its a pretty understandable perspective.

Also the mandate has no exception for natural immunityI. It is I had it and no symptoms of it except I couldn't taste anything, given above, I why would I get a vaccine.
