Frustrating
A Federal Judge in Missouri has temporarily blocked a COVID vaccine mandate from the Biden administration targeted at healthcare workers. It is another example of the frustrating job of persuading resisters to get the jab. There is little left undone in communications from health authorities, regulators, government officials, doctors, celebrities and many others. Some people just won't get vaccinated even at the cost of their jobs. The irrationality is shocking and a harm to the nation. They don't accept the idea of the common good taking precedence over personal freedom even at the cost of death to loved ones. Now that the government can't force them to get vaccinated -- at least not yet --, it might be time to admit defeat even with the new Omicron variant spreading quickly through the world. Letting millions go, however, jeopardizes the hundreds of millions who have been vaccinated and are at risk from the mutating virus. It is a decision and job for the nation's leaders that no one envies.
