For a journalist, this is an indefensible ignorance of the data supporting the other side of the story. What happened to balanced reporting? Accepting the White House’ scapegoating for the inevitable vaccine failure due to waning efficacy and vaccine derived variants is just playing into the hands of tyranny. Covid is winning. It was inevitable to anyone who knew the prior history of corona vax and the leaky nature of current vaccines. Are you not aware of what’s happening in Israel and the UK? In Iceland and other countries? That natural immunity is trumping vaccines many times over? That permanent covid vax disabilities and deaths exceed all those reported for all other vaccines since VAERS inception? That the caregivers who have seen the increase in mortality and shocking injuries first hand would rather lose their jobs and freedom than submit to a jab? Not only that but as a liberal, you are burying yourself politically with this stance. It is unsustainable because it transforms you into that which liberals are supposed to hate, namely, a bigot whose opinions are not based in fact.

Unfortunately Rauch is missing the whole purpose of govenment "Wars". The government does not want to eliminate the disease. The govenment wants to expand the disease and extend the epidemic forever.

This is an OLD procedure, first seen in the 1920 War On Alcohol. It returned in the '50s with the War On Commies, then LBJ's War On Poverty, then the War On Drugs, then the War On Terrorism, and now the War on Virus.

Every War On X is exquisitely crafted to create MORE of X, not LESS of X. More drunkards, more commies, more poor people, more drug addicts, more "terrorists", more viruses.

It's just good old Parkinson's Law. Bureaucracies DO NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS. Bureaucracies maintain and create new problems to justify eternal exponential growth of power and budget.

In this particular War On Virus, all of the "measures" are designed to ELIMINATE normal immunity and keep the epidemic going forever. This was perfectly clear from the start to everyone who understands how viruses and immunity work.

I don't know whether or not paying people to get vaccinated is a good idea. What I did notice is that the one Kubler-Ross stage he left out is bargaining, and that what his proposal sounds like. (Would you do it if I paid you?)

The problem with this idea is that we require full vaccination against at least eight diseases for school entry - and more in some states. Unless we stipulate that all CDC recommended vaccines be up to date this would have some obvious unintended consequences.
