The Mandate is a one-size-fits-all sledgehammer [pdf]
I really don&#x27;t quite understand this fuss about the mandate.<p>Americans have tens of thousands of laws that are locally inconvenient but globally useful for public well being, such as stopping at red lights, not carrying guns on flights, or god forbid, breast-feeding one&#x27;s kid (who has received a zillion other vaccines).All laws are one-size-fits-all mandates, so  why the fuss about this one, other than the obvious political theater?<p>The petition claims that it is being treated as an &quot;emergency&quot; even after two years. But isn&#x27;t it the case that it is because of the people like the petitioners that has led to vaccine misinformation and hesitancy, which has stretched the timeline?<p>I am less surprised about the petition than seeing this as the top voted post on HN.
