Episode notes
Authoritarian Mandates
- Biden's push for private vaccine mandates is authoritarian, exceeding the government's role.
- Adults have had the opportunity to get vaccinated; further mandates infringe on personal freedom.
Israel's Lockdown
- Despite high vaccination rates, Israel and other countries are still experiencing COVID surges and lockdowns.
- This challenges the concept of herd immunity and suggests a lack of limiting principles for restrictions.
Risk Perception
