It feels like capitulation even asking about this, cause I don't want a vaccine. Just wondering if the mandates come, if this is a way out to buy more time?

This is very similar to the Kasich. "you can't kill him again" she says when she is talking fast, rattling off names, etc... If she had slowed down, she would have said something like, "you can't kill him (again) when he is already dead".

No...we mean humans often start to use a common phrase like "put to rest" but sometimes halfway through a common phrase we brain fart and state it incorrectly and he's old and talking fast, his mind probably lost the word "rest".
