Vaccine mandate will have ‘catastrophic’ effect on jobs, business group warns Biden | Washington Examiner

A business group representing wholesalers told President Joe Biden that jobs will be lost if he follows through with requiring companies with federal contracts to have their employees vaccinated.

Eric Hoplin, president and CEO of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, laid out the case against the mandates and urged the president to back off his edict in a three-page letter. He said that if the contractor rule is implemented, thousands of workers will be laid off and the supply chain problems will grow far worse.

I understand protests against failure by the (as yet hypothetical) mandate regime to include immunity from already having had Covid. That does seem to be just a blind asserting of not-so-petty authority. But in many cases, resistance to the vaccine just seems to be not trusting authority, just because so many authorities have proven to be wrong, if not actually corrupt. Many of those not trusting the authorities are working people and not inclined to trust authority to begin with. At this stage a little leadership would be nice, but that doesn’t seem to be forthcoming. It’s a pickle.
