New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, despite all the justified criticism he has earned, correctly noted recently that mandatory vaccination would not be legal:

“it would require a state law to mandate the vaccine and you cannot mandate any of these vaccines yet, because they are all emergency use authorization....A state cannot mandate a vaccine that is authorized by emergency use. It has to receive a full federal approval first”.

Of course this leaves the door open to a future mandate, which would be founded on trust of the FDA, which in turn requires that we disregard its record of having to pull dangerous drugs from the market, drugs which the FDA had itself approved.
