Just over 50% of Americans are fully vaccinated, but unlike in most of the world, its no longer about access to that protection. Anyone in America who remains unvaccinated is remaining so by choice. Thats a problem. Its not a difference of opinion, its a public health emergency, and it needs to end. Scientists, doctors, frontline workers, community activists, federal & state officials have all campaigned for the vaccine, its time for American businesses to step in. Businesses are in a unique position because they can mandate masks and vaccinations in a way that the federal government has been hesitant to do. They can hold unvaccinated people responsible in ways the government cant. Aired on 08/08/2021.

Let's hope that this results in a crackdown that is the beginning of the end!

I think they should do what has been suggested, require proof of vaccinations everywhere

Stop overwhelming staff with willfully unvaxed. Another DUer suggested they put them in empty buildings on palliative care.

I do think we're headed that way if all corporations and businesses crack down. Think I mentioned that my friend had to receive the MMR vaccine to attend college classes, and aren't vaccinations required for kids to start school? That has worked for generations (polio, smallpox, etc.), they need to implement that now! If these idiots can't go anywhere, they'll be forced to comply - for the safety of their communities and the rest of us who are sick of worrying about getting sick!
