I know its not the same thing and one effects others blah blah blah. So it should be an easy question.

in a vaccum I think it's reasonable.

After over a year of anti-vax nonsense where the US still has ERs full of needlessly dying/suffering unvaxxed fools and doctors/ teachers/cops refusing to vaccinate AND the fact that despite the name you don't actually have to get vaccinated, just frequently tested if you don't....?

Yeah I think these people are at best ignorant and generally just unreasonable. They seem to think mass death and suffering is less important than a extordinarily minor inconvience for them, it's extemely sociopathic

They had half a year to get it when it wasn't mandated. If they're against the mandate then they're anti vax. Either for themselves or they support other people not getting it.

Unless I've seen proof that they're vaccinated themself, I will assume they are in fact anti-vaxx and trying to present it in a more-acceptable light.

If they are (and it's not a case of "I got it but regret it now"), that's a bit of a different matter, but I'm still not very comfortable with it. The only reason to be upset about a mandate, is if the specific mandate in question is poorly made - for example, if it doesn't provide an exemption for those who medically (not religiously / conspiracy-based) cannot receive it, or if it applies to an age group that hasn't yet had a reasonable amount of time to get it, etc.

My opinion is that whether it's forced or not, if it's the same thing, you would be for it whether or not it was mandated. Like do people suddenly have a problem with seatbelt laws even if they think everyone should wear seatbelts? If you refuse life saving medicine just because there's a mandate, you're just being oppositional/defiant imo.

This is indeed what they sound like

That's not at all the logic.

It is illegal to DRIVE drunk, but it is not illegal to BE drunk.

A full government mandate would mean it's effectively illegal to BE unvaccinated. If you need employment for healthcare, rent, survival, and you are banned from working everywhere if you are unvaccinated then a government mandate would mean it's illegal to BE unvaccinated.

I support businesses that want to require proof of vaccination to shop there, that's not a vaccine mandate.

A vaccine mandate is a government mandate that basically blocks somebody from all employment (and thus from survival) if they are unvaccinated. This is not ok.

And anybody defending the vaccine mandate in it's current form looks pretty stupid if they don't at least acknowledge it needs to be updated to factor in science based around a person who has been exposed to COVID and has some natural immunity.

I'm not going to make exact claims about what that science concludes, but it is stupid to require somebody to get a shot if they had COVID 3 weeks earlier and we don't have good safety data on effects of getting vaccinated while you are still recovering from COVID.

If it is a mandate for things like police/medical staff only that factors in the latest science when it comes from antibodies from natural immunity for people who have already been exposed. That is something I'd consider supporting.

But if you are treating an unvaccinated person who has been exposed to COVID (and perhaps even got very sick from it) as medically identical to an unvaccinated person who has never been exposed to COVID, you are not being scientifically accurate.

We have tons of data showing the necessity and safety of the vaccines for people who have never have COVID, what data we do have on vaccinating people who already had COVID is somewhat more limited, but much more important is different.

Anybody with any sense knows that somebody who has had a bad case of COVID 3 weeks ago vs somebody who hasn't had COVID at all are going to (on average) have a different response to vaccination.

This doesn't mean the end result is different. But yeah, you have to at least ACKNOWLEDGE science before I respect your borderline authoritarian policy stance.

Like do people suddenly have a problem with seatbelt laws even if they think everyone should wear seatbelts? If you refuse life saving medicine just because there's a mandate, you're just being oppositional/defiant imo.

Totally disagree.

I addressed the seatbelt comment elsewhere. I am very pro seatbelts. (And my mom's husband doesn't usually wear them, but I was able to slowly convince him to with empathy btw).

It comes down to principle. Forgive me for going to extremes, but I think it will illuminate things. I support everybody for whom we know it to be safe (which is most people) to get vaccinated. In fact I encourage it. I do argue they make sure the doctors aspirate to make sure it isn't accidently being injected into a vein. But based on all data I strongly encourage people to get vaccinated.

That said, even if I have a strong opinion about it, I would not support the police going door to door, and forcing each person that I agree should get vaccinated to be vaccinated. It's not my place, nor is it the government or police's place to force that on them.

Be honest. Would you support this type of door to door enforced vaccination policy? Because I honestly don't see how the "if you support vaccines you support the mandate" logic doesn't extend to there. Obviously they are not the same thing, but I think by framing it this way it becomes more clear why I object to the mandate.

It's not my place or the government's place to force people to do "the right thing", the government, the police, etc, they are all designed and have policies that prevent people from doing the wrong thing.

Shut the fuck up.

What about what I said was wrong?

How can you advocate for a vaccine mandate if you don't advocate for using the most up to date science to inform it?

And every single scientist or reasonable person acknowledges that on average a person who has had COVID is going to respond differently to the vaccine than somebody who has not.

That scientific fact should obviously be factored into the policy if we want it to be effective. Even if the policy still results in even people with natural immunity getting vaccinated. We should know that "oh the science shows they only need 1 shot due to previous exposure" or "oh the science shows their 2nd shot should be more delayed".

Anybody who says "we should completely ignore all science about this large and important demographic who already has had COVID within our vaccine mandate" obviously isn't being scientific.

If you are pro-mandate then surely you want to make the mandate as scientifically prudent as possible, right?

Can any reasonable person explain to me why the vaccine mandate is better without any considerations for the science around previous exposure to COVID in it's policy?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/covidplan/

The issue is, this allows for people to be "Requiring All Employers with 100+ Employees to Ensure their Workers are Vaccinated or Tested Weekly"

Which most people support. I support that, that's a reasonable compromise.

But I work in a place that is considered a government contractor, and they basically said "yeah the government isn't doing the testing part, everybody is required to be vaccinated."

And even though I'm vaccinated and it doesn't impact me, that's not the policy you linked to. And so I don't think that's what anybody here is talking about.

I'm ok with a mandate that allows testing in leu of vaccination.
