Masks are mandatory IF you want to enter a public indoor space. Just like some vaccines are mandatory IF you want to attend a public school. That’s not force. Force is holding someone down and forcibly injecting them or forcibly putting on a mask on them. Is that happening? Nope.
What is happening is choice. Choose not to wear a mask? Then plan to have your groceries and other things delivered. Choose not to vaccinate your kids? Then plan on home schooling them.
Choice =/= Force.
You do realize.... Socialism has only worked, at gunpoint.
Most of us don't have good records of what vaccinations we have had, or when we had our last tetanus shot. Most if notg all states have vaccination requirements for children enrolled in public schools. I have had to list my vaccinations when I have had employment physicals done, but have never been questioned as to their accuracy. The only test I have seen for public education and healthcare is a TB test. That is not a vaccination. I think this country needs to get better at keeping track of these things. I know Pennsylvania has started because I went to get a whooping cough vaccine and the state Dept. of Health had records that I had already had one. I must have got the vaccination from my PCP and she submitted it to the state.
I think it only makes sense to require certain workers to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Do you want to be treated by a healthcare worker who gives Covid-19? I'm aware of one hospital where a patient got it from the nursing staff. It also makes sense for education and retail workers. These people should get priority and the state health departments will need to track who has been vaccinated. Since it sounds like you are retired, you are free to not get a vaccination and take your chances. Of course you might get it and infect other like minded people.
I was born in 1948. Did not my find my childhood vaccination record until 2 years ago. Last entry was for DPT in 1954. As you can imagine it was only a few lines on a yellow card. While I do remember getting a sugar cube polio vaccine in elementary school (not on my yellow card), that has been the sum total of all my vaccinations. NONE as an adult.
Granted I was given a pass on vaccinations in college (70's and later 90's), and for work, based on my age and natural immunity having had those childhood diseases, but none of the newer vaccines.
After my car crash 3 weeks ago, I refused a Tetanus (TD, Tdap?) vaccination. Did not have to sign a waiver, or list my exemption. NO was enough and the Nurse was not shocked at my refusal.
I read that because of the virus the Pharms are going to increase manufacture of Flu Shots this year. Expect bigger Flu Shot push this year. No Thank you. Covid vaccine? If it is in short supply when available, can I allocate mine to someone else who really wants it?
I sure hope that they don't make it illegal to not wear a mask during sex. I'd either have to start breaking the law, or, eliminate half the "things I like to do and the time I spend doing them.

Don't forget your 6 ft. social distancing during sex. There's a joke for that one, but never mind.
From the beginning it was stated that no vaccine would be forced. The gov didn't know what percent of the population would vaccinate, and they still don't, as only 13 percent have received two doses of the shot. I think there may have been a whipping up of demand by providing little supply of the vaccine. There have been indications that separate entities will require the vaccine, such as travel, and, of course, schools, which means that you're forced to get the vaccine if you want to do any of these things. I also heard it would be required to enter a federal building. Let's just hope the vaccine is not necessary to buy or sell.
