Exactly why a mandate is a back asswards way of handling things.
Hospitals should instead ban intentionally unvaccinated Covid patients. And the states should pass laws to shield them from liability from the turds among us who’d sue them for turning away those people.
And HC insurers should be allowed to cancel plans for the intentionally unvaccinated. And states, under McCarran Ferguson (No Feds needed) could grant them immunity on that.
That which cannot be done by mandate (almost everything) can often be done by punishment for refusal. Sure, they’re the same in effect. But the difference is, punishment allows for a game of good cop/bad cop. The state and corporate interests get to blame each other, and the nitwit who’d prefer to be unvaccinated never has a clear enemy upon which to fixate. The anger is diffused, confused, and he’s manipulated.
It’s kinda like the “That was done by committee” explanation for atrocious corporate behavior.
Much more effective than setting up a “We’re the incompetent ‘Eat Your Peas, Peasants’ State, and we’re going to tell you you’d better follow our confused ‘experts’ from week to week or you’re a bad person who is selfish and killing others.”
