Biochemically, it's more straight-forward than triggering your body's immune system to make the antibodies. Does require an injection in a clinical setting. Maybe anti-vaxxers will be OK with this, since it's just inserting pharma into your body (like taking advil), as opposed to tampering with your body to produce the immune response.

But worst case even if you get delta, if you had 1.0 I doubt you're going to the hospital.

That's the only thing that makes sense.

Vax those who are in need and willing, encourage unvaccinated with logical arguments given their risk, and leave the naturally immune alone.

Congress might have the authority, but they'll have to go on record and pass a law to make it happen. Which means it won't happen.
Remember...first it was Sept, then Oct, then Dec, now Jan.
The "mandate" is a bluff, always has been.

There has been ZERO science for those who have had covid working the last 6-8 months regarding immunity. You must get the jab!!
