Requiring vaccination to board a plane or train is certainly one of the strongest levers the federal government has to boost vaccination rates. The article seems slightly ambiguous about requirements for employees of federally regulated sectors. Civil servants and crown corps are certainly going to require vaccination, but if it includes all federally regulated industries that's going to be a lot of people.
O'Toole has now said that he is opposed to mandatory vaccination for federal employees and in federally-regulated industries (and presumably for travel as well). He instead proposes daily rapid testing for all employees.
I think O’Toole’s suggestion is good — who wants to have daily testing? Likely not many, so they’ll opt for a vaccine without being forced.
