Hari Sreenivasan:
While new COVID cases surge, differing opinions over lockdowns, masks and vaccine mandates prevail. Yesterday, United Airlines announced that it will require all of its U.S. employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment.
I spoke with Juliette Kayyem, former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security and professor at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, who says that similar vaccine requirements should apply to airline passengers as well.
Juliette, here we are at this point where there seems to be a pull between whether we have more mandates and more lockdowns, or we can focus our energies on trying to get more people vaccinated, why are you saying that maybe we should have a different tact?
