DEBATE: OPPOSING to COVID Vaccine mandate in the USA

3-page paper. 1 page for opening, 1 page for cross, and 1 page for closing.

Covid Vaccine Mandate: A requirement that says someone must be vaccinated to do certain things like working, traveling, or even attending a concert. The government or other authorities can’t physically force a person to get vaccinated, but if someone is not vaccinated, businesses, schools, and others can legally stop them from entering the building or using their services if they choose to.

Things to consider:What is the status quo(state and federal) & legal precedent? What is the goal?Who does it impact?

How many people has lost their job due to this COVID vaccine mandate?

What else can we do to convince people to get vaccinated instead of punishing or rewarding them? Why is educating people a better idea than punishing them?Are the measures taken going to accomplish the goal effectively?Could there be unintended consequences?Where has this already been enacted? What was the measured outcome?
