It's not political...the putting the foot down may be, but the mandate is not.
Could this new rule been handled differently, of course, by not allowing, what's so ever- nonvaxers into public situations, but that too comes across political, as we have experienced. Maybe this is our only answer.
I heard one guy on a talk show last night say... what is wrong with this country? Other countries face the same thing, but they don't react like us... they help each other and get the shot. I guess our selfishness just shines.
Many other countries believe in solving their problems through TEAMWORK. The US takes a frontier mentality about the INDIVIDUAL being the center of problem-solving. Today the US is particularly vulnerable to being split along tribal lines with respect to EVERY problem. This is due to dark media and to Facebook's software which leads its users progressively off the center toward either right or left. I am sure that there are other factors also. Those are some of the reasons that the US has reacted more in opposition to Public Health suggestions, and now MANDATES, than Europe and the Asian area countries have.
