Political messages and edicts have consequences. No-thought one-size-fits-all edicts cause resentment and resistance. Treating people like they are unable to discern their best interests cause resentment and resistance. Treating people like they are unable to figure out their own ways to reduce their risk cause resentment and resistance.
As for lawsuits, the wave about to crash on Washington's heads is the wave (tsunami?) of lawsuits against any reg mandating vaccination.
Just for possible future reference (not inviting/teasing/trolling for a response):
* I do wear masks in places that require it if I enter their premises. I'm neither
Mask-Nazi nor
Mask-Denier (though I think it is well known that the ordinary cloth masks are basically ineffective fashion statements or virtue-signals).
* I am fully vaccinated. I'm neither
Vax-Nazi nor
Anti-Covid-Vaxxer (though I think the former have made more people vaccine-reluctant than have the latter).
* I've been following daily vaccine injections here,
https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-total-admin-rate-total . For the past several weeks the number of injection for each day have been in the 800K-1M range. I wonder how the threat of
LIEden's imperial edict will affect that daily number. My guess is that over the next week or two the daily range will drop, significantly. I will try to remember to bump this thread in a week or two with how that injections rate was affected, if at all.
