Don’t underestimate the overreaction to vaccine requirements

Again, this isn’t new. In August 2009, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal opined that President Barack Obama was deploying an “authoritarian style” because his White House was trying to stamp out misinformation about health insurers. This was a regular refrain when Obama was in office, that his embrace of government power — which he did, in fact, embrace, being both a member of a party that believes in government and being president — was a mark of his lust for control and desire to crush American freedom. That, too, seems to have not manifested.
