"If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized ... If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance -- you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest.” - Ian Watson

I'm waiting for this headline: Why the Supreme Court shooting down the mandate still means you need to get vaxxed to keep your job. And why that's a good thing...
