Yes, they would've. Our IC Committee and Ethics Committee both had acquisition and mandatory implementation plans in place before the EUA was approved. The answer is just what you don't think it should be.

This is what we are arguing about: Did the government force people to take a novel vaccine? Who cares what your IC committee and ethics did? That's one hospital. It's no shocker that the administration at your hospital, who is stupid enough to fire 4% of its work force during a pandemic where there is a worker shortage ran with corrupt CDC data. I know for a fact that there were other hospitals in Jacksonville did not mandate vaccines until the due dates enacted by our government. That's all I need to win this debate. People were FORCED to choose between their job and the vaccine because our government created a penalty so stiff that hospitals (even ones that didn't want to mandate it) had to fire people who didn't want to take a novel vaccine. That's Federal compulsion, nitwit. Forced is absolutely the right word. 

I love that are hardcore libertarian wants to sidestep the government's role in imposing this on the people. I know, deep down, you feel guilty for firing those people, but instead of admitting it, you try to justify your complicity in this cash grab.

It's not the free market when there is a federal rule that fines the [BLEEP] out of companies that don't comply. It's no different than my taxes argument.
