One month after President Biden issued his COVID-19 vaccine mandate, we’re starting to see the impact in our day-to-day lives. Those who are willing to comply with the edict are enjoying all kinds of privileges, while others – predominantly African Americans – are getting left outside, quite literally. We are seeing it before our very eyes in cities that require proof of vaccine to enter a restaurant. Not only is it causing a significant racial divide, it’s also creating real tension among the public and in some cases physical confrontations. At the same time, it ignores the concerns and questions of many Americans who simply want to live freely.
