The problem is not the mandate. It is the loss of freedom and it's possible long term effects.We can lose our freedoms a little bit at a time. This mandate may be one of those little bits. If it can happen once it is more likely to happen again. Just what will be the next mandate. Perhaps order is a more discriptive word. What will a president order us to do next? The hand writing on the wall just got a little bit larger.

Perhaps. But this is the first federal mandate.

Depends on how you feel about being told you have to remove your shoes for security check before flying, not smoking, wearing seatbelts, etc.

Hmmm. So persons involved in partisan-politics are horses?
Or maybe equine anal sphincters?

People and canines usually Whine.

Fear-mongering again I see.

I know most of you have lost your common sense

but you are not going to lose your freedoms.

No, it's not.
Did you have any children who went to school? Do you recall how many vaccines they needed to take?
Have you ever served in the armed forces? If you did you'd remember the rather lengthy list of mandatory vaccines and inoculations that you had to have.
Then again, if you had bone spurs, you wouldn't know that.

Like we really need them.NOT.

Only scared people need more gun freedoms so they can sleep at night.

Canadians are the half-cooked lobsters of the world. They ceded a large portion of their freedoms long go.
Americans may be sitting in the pot, but the heat has just been turned on. Hope remains.

You don't live in our world, it's too cold for most hoodlums in Canada. If you lived in my neighborhood, you'd own a gun or twelve.

Maybe we don't have as many hoodlums per capita

as you do because of our gun restrictions.

The school vaccine regulations are not FEDERAL. Joining the military is not a MANDATE. No vaccines are FEDERALLY mandated except covid. And public school is not required. I took the vaccine, but there was no FEDERAL mandate. I wouldn't even object to a local or state mandate. But a FEDERAL mandate is a dictatorship ORDER. If a president can order you to take a vaccine what's stopping him from a mandate to buy only american made cars?
