That's the point (pun intended) - you can't force people to take shots 
(no pun intended) - that would be unlawful in the US.

If you forced a trucker to wear a mask and get a shot in order to work, 
you would get a protest and start a riot - and taken out and shot.

You try spreading that mandatory injections propaganda at a Truck Stop 
down here in New Jersey and you've got a problem with the Teamsters 
Union. Don't go there. You won't like it.

Look what happened to Jimmy.
