I don't think specifically in regards to the USA and Canada that vaccination will be forced.First responders, healthcare workers, and the elderly will start receiving the first doses by the end of this month. For the rest of us, it will probably be the spring.
There are two shots required. Both make you sick temporarily and the second shot is the worst. People should expect to have to take a sick day for the second shot.
It is a touchy subject to force people to get a vaccine. I know the local healthcare workers will probably be told the vaccine is optional, but if they get sick with covid, they have to take that time off from their own personal sick time instead of getting paid to stay home if they do take the shots. Professional licenses like nurses will be the first to make it mandatory, under threat of yanking the license.
Major league baseball will probably not start on time in the spring, at least with fans, and one of the ideas already being talked about is only letting in fans who show proof of vaccination.
encouraged, yes.
propagandized, yes.
Will new social norms be created in relation to vaccines, probably.
manipulatively coerced to take it in certain situations, probably.
but explicitly forced at the federal level, probably not. Too much current social upheaval to add this variable. If the economy can restabilize with the addition of vaccines then maybe we can worry about how draconian our vaccine policies become.
I think the current prerogative is to get people somewhat back to normal so they stop with all this dumb ****. At least if they are working they'll have that to take a good chunk of mental bandwidth away from protesting dumb ****.
