Biden Conceding Defeat on Vaccinations - New Strategy?

Backed by Several Rulings, Companies Can Now Require Vaccinations
 
WASHINGTON - June 22, 2021 - PRLog -- The White House is expected to concede today that its program and goal to have 70% of the adult population at least partially vaccinated by July 4th failed.

So, since it now seems certain that, as a result of this failure, many will die needlessly, and many more will suffer serious and sometimes long-lasting illnesses, perhaps it's time for a new tactic which worked so successfully regarding smoking, at least if we really want to save thousands of lives and billions in unnecessary health care costs, suggests pubic interest law professor John Banzhaf.

The professor - known as the "Man Behind the Ban on Cigarette Commercials," and also as the father of the nonsmokers' rights movement, is widely credited with getting millions of Americans to quit smoking, thereby saving over a million lives and billions of dollars in unnecessary medical expenses.

When we first began to convince businesses that workers who refused to quit smoking endangered the health and very lives of other employees around them with their carcinogenic tobacco smoke, workers who had previously and stubbornly refused to quit smoking - despite all the health warnings and governmental pleas - soon acquiesced once their companies prohibited smoking on the job, remembers Banzhaf.

When many companies went a step further, and announced that only workers who had quit smoking could continue to work for them, even more very hurriedly quit, he says.

So now that there is a ruling by a federal court, a determination by the EEOC, and the acknowledgment by the CDC that employers can require their workers to be vaccinated or face termination, perhaps it's time for major corporations to publicly consider - if not actually announce - that their employees should finally get vaccinated if they want to guarantee their jobs and/or their return to the workplace, and for Biden to publicly suggest that they do so.

In both situations (smoking and vaccine hesitation), health warnings and other pleas simply did not work well enough, and the direct result was an enormous loss of life, and huge unnecessary medical expenses paid by everyone in the form of higher taxes and inflated health insurance premiums, and the health and very lives of many others was endangered.

So if companies were willing to impose a no-smoking or even a no-smoker requirement when health warnings and persuasion wasn't sufficient, they should be willing to do the same here and now, and issue a vaccine mandate, for all of the same reasons, argues Banzhaf.
