Is Covid-19 making us irrational?

Federal funds should be withheld from states and cities until they impose mandates (this is the traditional way the feds have exercised control over states and cities). Businesses which refuse to implement them should have their lines of credit frozen or their permits revoked. Owning a business open to the public is a privilege, not a right.

There needs to be an all-out effort. The US did far more during WW2.

So, for example, all federal funds should be withheld from Florida until they introduce and enforce statewide vaccination? And we are going to do that with booster shots as well?

This sounds like tyranny to me.

Yes. all federal funds should be withheld from Florida until they introduce and enforce a vaccine mandate.

To the extent that this is tyranny, so be it. As I said, the US did far more during WW2.
