That sounds far fetched obviously, but it really is worth taking a moment just to push yourself to imagine that scenario. biological weapon dropped on boston, and it just kills everyone. and what an absolute hinge point for all of history it would be for american history, for global history probably. that s roughly the equivalent of what this virus has done so far. that s the death toll so far. and it s not done. it hasn t stopped. we will lose another 1500 people today. our friends and our loved ones, our coworkers, our fellow americans. 1500 of them lost every day. preventably. and because of how dangerous and deadly this virus is, we re in the midst of the largest vaccination campaign in history. globally. more than 5.6 billion doses have been administered around the world. and this is an incredible way to run an experiment. there were obviously clinical trials in many countries, but we
every person watching has lived most or all of their lives under a regime of vaccine mandates. they re basically like traffic lights. they re everywhere. we all follow them. it s the way society is ordered. it has been for long time. the first mandate in the u.s. armed forces was when george washington required his troops to get inoculated from smallpox in 1777. good call. smallpox killed a lot of people. this is a photo from 1958. it s elvis presley getting a slew of vaccinations before shipping out for the korean war. it s whatever every soldier has to do before boot camp. service members are mandated to receive chickenpox, hepatitis a,
Thats that was a threat for security. obviously, it conot be the case you would tolerate something like that happening all the time. yet at the same time, like there is no palpable sense that this pandemic that s killed 650,000 people, it doesn t scan in the same way, it doesn t fire people s cheeks. there is no revenge against no one to strike out against. we can t send missiles against covid-19. it s striking to see, when you do the accounting, this sigh leapt inert an animate stupid little virus yet it does not produce that same sense of social mission in the way that that came out there. chris, there are no black or brown people behind it to

Thanked me for honoring their relative in such a way. so i felt very satisfied, like i did credible job of portraying him in the film. you certainly did. morgan freeman, thank you so much. franky fason, brilliant. kenneth chamberlain jr., i hope you get justice. all in with chris hayes starts now. tonight on all in the president pushes his plan to curb pandemic deaths. we re playing for real here. this isn t a game. and the absolutely unhinged backlash is in full throat. do not comply with the tyranny. and when the gestapo show up at your front door, you know what to do. the convergence of policy, politics and far right rage and why there s no reason on earth the biden vaccine mandate is big government overreach. and 20 years after america
