No Jab, No Job? NEJM Says Everyone Needs To Be Vaccinated For Coronavirus In Order To Go To Work

A new paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) attempts to make the case that people who refuse a future vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) should no longer be allowed to work and make a living.
