Mandatory or not we won’t be able to go back to normalcy without the vaccine. Some economists are saying 5 years to get back to a pre Covid economy.

Possible but unlikely as it won’t get through the courts here I would guess. That said if you would like your passport to be usable in Asia or the EU then yeah your gonna need a jab.

Oh, a new not fully tested vaccine.

Oh joy.

As I write this, I'm sitting in Portsmouth Naval Hospital with a bajillion electrodes stuck to me, with an IV stuck in my arm, to do a stupid test that I have to do annually to keep my medical.

Because of a reaction from a new version of an existing vaccine that was "properly tested" in 2004.

A vaccine will be just like TSA - completely useless except as a placebo.

A healthy guy in my wing died of a reaction to the normal flu shot. CX500T’s experience might be instructive. BTW, I have a half dozen WHO vaccination cards and over 30 years taken hundreds of shots including anthrax. Vaccines are necessary, but they have consequences.

You might look at the efficacy of the flu vaccine and the “.take” rate among the public.

Given the way the media has scared the bejebus out of the public with the WuFlu, I think the take rate will be significant. To the point of shortages and significant wait times.

That's getting questionable on constitutional grounds. But I bet it would fly on a temporary emergency basis while the virus is still out there in force.

Possibly. More likely annual, maybe with a second boster.

While a vaccine you need on a quarterly basis is not economically or practically viable for the general population under normal circumstances, it would sure as hell be worth it under the circumstances.
