Are Vaccine Mandates Helpful?

Some groups are planning to take legal action against the government because of Covid-19 vaccine mandates, stating that they are illegal and against the fundamental rights of a person. We expand on it by first, looking at the pros and cons of making vaccines compulsory. Then, we find out what a lawsuit would actually entail. Finally, we revisit whether workplaces can actually make vaccines mandatory.
