Excellent point.
Pretty sure the public good is less their agenda than the bottom line, but the effect is growing rapidly regardless, across a broad business base for health reasons. I'm an independent contractor. Several entities to whom I provide services have, in the last 2 days, requested proof of vaccination. This is so they can ensure their clients (with whom i/we have direct contact) the highest level of their personal protection/safety possible. You won't see news stories on this but it is happening everywhere in America right now.
