[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has any country actually instituted mandate vaccines for truckers? Or for whole populations? I am truly asking.
I know that many have instituted mandates for health care workers, feds, etc, but has any country ordered all citizens to be vaccinated with covid 19 vaccines?[/quote]

There are quite a few mandates on truckers, like all of the prior requirements for a commercial driver's license, which include meeting quite a few other minimum health requirements, like:

[list]20/40 correctable vision in each eye

No history or existing diabetic condition that requires insulin injections

Ability to hear a forced whisper from at least five feet away in at least one ear

No issues of high blood pressure

Blood sugar levels are not above 200[/list]

Sounds like these CDL truck drivers are pretty healthy compared to the average US citizen. They aren't high risk.

Additionally, the medical examiner will see if you have a history of the following:

[list]Cardiac or respiratory issues

Loss of hearing

Dizziness or fainting

Spinal cord injuries

Stroke

Brain or neurological disorders

Epilepsy or seizures

Digestive problems

Chronic pain

Psychiatric disorders

Kidney disease

Paralysis

Sleep apnea[/list]

Your CDL medical exam will also check for any signs of drug or alcohol abuse. You must pass a DOT drug test in order to obtain your CDL medical card.

Did you not know there were already medical mandates for truckers?

So should we be rolling back all of those "authoritarian" requirements too?  Stop requiring seat belts?  Get rid of speed limits on the highways?  Make stop signs and red lights optional? Stop worrying about people drinking and driving because that's intrusive authoritarian statism getting in the way of glorious freedom?[/quote][/quote]
