We’re all more fortunate than we probably realize to even be having this discussion right now.
And we’re not out of the woods yet. This whole Covid thing isn’t over. We’ve had some reprieve over the summer, but I have a feeling the government / CDC are going to throw some curve balls in the coming weeks/months.
At this point the FDA should be giving the vaccines full authorization in the next week or so, and once that's done it'll be much better optics for more places to require vaccinations without the emergency use authorization making it look bad.
So personally I'd expect mandatory vaccinations before any kind of lock downs again. That being said I have a feeling the mask mandate for airports is going to be extended again unfortunately.
