Glenn Cohen, a health law and bioethics professor at Harvard Law School, told ABC News that strong legal precedent dating back to the early 20th century gives businesses and governments the legal backing to enforce the mandates.A Pfizer covid-19 vaccine booster shot is administered on Capitol Hill in Washington, Oct. 4, 2021.
