A Libertarian Response to Pres. Biden's Vaccine Mandate

 A few months ago , our president , Joseph R. Biden imposed a requirement for employees in large companies to either receive a vaccine for SARS CoV2 , or be regularly tested .  Now while I am inclined to feel that this policy is reasonable , and even legitimate , as this lawyer points out in this video ,  a number of people feel infringed upon by this edict .  And certain Republicans are taking exception to it .  https://news.yahoo.com/u-congress-republicans-attack-bidens-215340548.html   Now , from a communitarian standpoint , while I believe that such a mandate could be justified as constituting a community standard of conduct , in the interest of the common good of public health , a libertarian basis can be more difficult to establish .  I will acknowlege that some prominent , influential , libertarian figures have argued in favor of requiring vaccination , however opinions among professed libertarians have been mixed .  https://www.voanews.com/a/covid-19-pandemic_why-some-libertarians-support-vaccine-mandates/6209163.html ,   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/why-mandatory-vaccination-is-not-opposed-to-libertarian-principles   In my own circumstance , my possibly over concerned parents have prevented me from accessing any of the currently available vaccines , due to potential side effects , however relatively rare .  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html ,  https://www.ksl.com/article/50243501/covid-19-vaccine-hesitancy-does-the-data-support-concerns-about-side-effects  So I am forced by such such personal material conditions to hold out until a more acceptable oral vaccine is made available .  https://www.24newshd.tv/01-Aug-2021/why-an-israeli-company-is-developing-an-oral-covid-vaccine   Hopefully , I will be able to survive until then , especially given that I have comparably good chances , due to cross protection , I optimistically feel .  https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2020/11/02/tetanus-vaccine-could-be-the-solution-to-covid-19-spanish-researcher-reveals/  ,  https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/09/210902174754.htm  It would seem as if the protective hand of Providence /  Fortune  has favorably blessed my life .  And while I shall not take anything for granted , and shall to the best of my ability follow precautionary protocols , I will not live my life in excessive fear . My heart goes out to all people whom continue to be affected by this ongoing pandemic , especially as it relates to both personal , and official negligence , and willful ignorance .  This plague is devastating , and potentially deadly . No one should have to unnecessarily suffer even unto death . If any such Supreme Being actually exists , they would not want anyone to unduly be harmed by any such infectious disease .
