Vaccine mandates may be a metaphor for a fiery struggle erupting in western democracies.

The truckers’ convoy is still gripping the world even as mandates are being rolled back in response. Jeffrey Tucker explains why the protests mean it's time for mass resignations from those responsible for ruining lives and economies with public health measures that failed to protect and divided citizens of every country.
