1361: Variant Factories

Federal Surge Teams and Australian Public Health Act Enforcement

The Biden administration is deploying "surge teams" to areas with low vaccination rates to provide testing and therapeutics. Simultaneously, reports from Australia highlight Section 158 of the Public Health Act of 2016, which grants authorities the power to use reasonable force to apprehend, detain, and forcibly vaccinate individuals. This legal provision includes the authority to remove clothing if necessary to facilitate medical treatment or vaccination.
