A professor of medical ethics and two researchers argue that vaccines should be mandated for health care workers, students attending in-person classes and others.
With numbers like those, we believe this moment requires leaders to stand up and lead: to help save our people and nation, to protect Black Americans and all Americans, and to break the stranglehold Covid-19 has had on our country.
