Mandates, Etc.

Charlie, you can slice and dice this stuff a hundred different ways, I suppose. But it also is the case that, unless I am grievously misunderstanding the naturalization process, you would literally not even be here if not for your willingness to comply with a rather extensive vaccination mandate. We impose vaccine mandates on everybody from immigrants to soldiers to kindergarteners. The foot-stamping over this particular vaccine is pure performative adolescent self-harm, and there isn’t any reason to treat it as anything else, to make excuses for it, or to try to dress it up in respectability.
