Video: ‘Ethics’ Prof. Says Americans Will Take Vaccine In Exchange For Return Of Freedom “If you promise people more mobility, more ability to get a job, more ability to get travel, that’s a very powerful incentive” https://summit.news/2021/03/08/video-eth...urn-of-freedom/ Published 16 hours ago on 8 March, 2021

CNN provided a platform for NYU medical ‘ethics’ professor Arthur Caplan Sunday, who argued that Americans skeptical of taking the COVID vaccine will soon come around and accept it if their freedoms otherwise remain restricted.
Caplan argued that allowing people to have their freedoms returned after lockdown is the most “powerful incentive” to push the vaccine.
“If you promise people more mobility, more ability to get a job, more ability to get travel, that’s a very powerful incentive to actually achieve fuller vaccination,” Caplan told Fareed Zakaria.
The segment even began with the infamous ‘show me your papers’ scene from the movie Casablanca:
Caplan argued that Americans will “gain freedom” if a COVID certification system is enacted.
Caplan continued “Vaccine passports do require access; it’s hard to impose anything unless you are pretty sure that somebody can get a vaccine. So I think it’ll be a little while before we see this, let’s say within the U.S.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
