Sorry I had mentioned a mandated polio vaccine earlier. It was smallpox.
It should be plain as freaking day. I will stake my reputation that chances of dying of covid are at least a magnitude or two if not higher than an adverse vaccine event.
It was done in mass back in the day for polio. But I doubt they'd do it now...mostly because the anti vax movement is larger than ever and will cause the idiots to revolt.

58 percent on latest polling. Democrats, women, college educated, and white more likely to take it than other groups.
It seems like we'd need to wear masks and try to socially distance while vaccines are being distributed during at least a portion of 2021. Doesnt sound that bad to me. Neither of those things are economically problematic.
The UK Zoe covid symptom tracker app peaked on November 4th with 608k active infections. The second UK-wide lockdown was put into place on November 5th. However, Wales had a circuit breaker more severe lockdown between October 23rd and November 9th. There was some disagreement between two groups of researchers on how fast the infections in the UK were ramping up over the past month or two.

I got the flu shot this year. And I got it when I worked at Walgreens at a pharmacy tech. But there was a few years that I just kinda got lazy and didn't get it.
