Vaccine mandates are nothing new - I was required to get vaccinated to go to my public school.

You literally said the "best" choice is relative. Your entire stance is deeply relativistic at its core.

I don't see the relevance of what Biden says to my point at all, seems like a jump in logic. And:

Comparing the MMR requirement for public school to taking experimental vaccines with vastly worse safety profile being a requirement to engage meaningfully in public life at all is a gigantic stretch.

I don't know why people deceive themselves that these are similar in any way.

Does this include a federal government vaccine mandate?

> Vaccine mandates are nothing new - I was required to get vaccinated to go to my public school.

An appeal to tradition/authority doesn't make it any more tenable. The anti-mandate position is precisely (at least in part) that they should have autonomy over their own body.
