That ratio seems to be in the same neighborhood as the general public according to some polls I have seen.

I think it is unlikely the US Government will make it mandatory because of inevitable civil liberties lawsuits. But, as you point out, many companies are likely to demand vaccination as a condition of employment and other nations might make it compulsory for admission across their border.

But here is an interesting proposition. The big pharma companies that develop the vaccines are immune from liability arising from their vaccine. But would that same civil immunity extend to The Acme Widget Company that demands vaccination of their employees and then one dies because of it?

Hmmmmmmm....
