Scott Gottlieb on vaccine mandates

I don't think governors should be stepping in to block private businesses from imposing mandates if a business thinks it's the only way they could protect their workers or their customers.  It should be their perogative to do that.  Just like I don't think the federal government should be stepping in to tell small businesses and private businesses that they have to mandate vaccination.  If we could leave this to be local decision making by businesses and by local authorities, I think that that would be optimal.
