The answer is pretty simple, it's millions of dollars.  So, what's the point of a vaccine mandate now that we are basically back to square one with Delta and Omicron? So which variant dealt the final blow that ended the life of Colin Powell, was it Delta or lingering Beta? Delta was the new rage/threat at the time, one can only assume his death was associated with Delta. I'm very certain that he was infected by someone with Delta who was fully vaccinated at the time. He was Collin Powell (A well-known US Army general during the first Gulf War and a former Secretary of State) and not some average person on the street so to speak. So, I'm almost certain that everyone in his immediate circle (family, care givers and friends) were fully vaccinated.

Lots of nonsense here, so I'll make a list:

1. The Mayo Clinic receives funding from Federal programs.  Most hospitals do.  Unlike 'most hospitals', the Mayo Clinic can get by just fine without any of it.
   
2. The point of a vaccine mandate -- a point that seems to get lost on everyone with your mindset -- is to dramatically lower the R value of the virus, so is dies out.  In other words, it's a communal goal based on a communal effort.
   By the way, it's working as intended where it's practiced; not here in the good old USA of course.
   
3. Vaccines are not 100% perfect.  That applies to all of them.  Powell, unfortunately, failed to get a booster when he was first eligible, and that alone may have cost him his life.
   
4. as an aside: anecdotes are not statistically relevant in any case.  You can always find an example that runs counter to the trend.

It's been all about you, your beliefs, what you view as priorities priorities, Progressive Politics and advancing a Progressive agenda for many years. As far as I can tell, the American people, American lives, American jobs, American core values, American views, American rights, the American country itself and its future aren't as important to you and often not even taken into consideration. This isn't real life. This is the internet which is far cry from real life. You see, in real life, I can use all of my strengths and characteristics and whatever tools to confront someone like you. In other words, if you're a dick and act like dick, I'd be able treat to treat like the other dicks that I've dealt with during my life. As I've mentioned before, pistol whipping some dick in a wheel chair with a laptop who spends his time demonizing and demoralizing police ain't going to be a problem with me. It's a viable solution to an obvious problem "threat to society". You see, that's what it boils down to with me and most Americans these days. The country has already turned against you and it's just a matter of whether you're able to figure  it out and accept it or not and continue to be dicks.  On another note, I heard BLM is imploding and its leaders are mostly likely a group of crooks who recently transferred 16 million dollars to Canadian non profits they set up for themselves and also bought property for themselves in Canada too. I don't know if you are aware of it, I know the Democratic media tends to ignore/censor relevant information these days.

Oh boo-hoo.  Let me send you a huge bucket of crocodile tears.  You seem to need them.  Here's a clue: the nation is not an aggregation of the self-serving.  At no time is a nation viable as a nation if the cohesion that binds us all together disappears entirely.  That's the definition of chaos.  Yet you claim the mantle of 'American'.  Amazing.

And let's be clear on one other thing: self-dealing by supposed leaders of BLM or any other group is immoral at the very least and quite likely illegal.  I have zero sympathy for that kind of behavior, especially when it takes from those least able to afford it -- like virtually every Evangelical Church in America.  Deceit isn't partisan.
