The alternatives to bail are few.
1) hold until trial
2) release on own recognizance
3) release on good abearing

Though good abearing might be considered a raysis concept .

Far from compromising them, vaccine mandates actually further civil liberties. They protect the most vulnerable, people with disabilities and fragile immune systems, children too young to be vaccinated, and communities of color hit hard by the disease.

And by inoculating people from the disease’s worst effects, the vaccines offer the promise of restoring to all of us our most basic liberties, eventually allowing us to return safely to life as we knew it, in schools and at houses of worship and political meetings.

TheAltlantic.com: Why the ACLU Flip-Flopped on Vaccine Mandates (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/09/why-aclu-supports-vaccine-mandates/619984/)

September 8, 2021
The historically libertarian organization now says that strict public-health measures protect freedom rather than limit it...

Forced vaccination against the H1N1 flu, the ACLU wrote at the time, “was not warranted.” The organization’s New York chapter said that individuals “have a constitutional right to bodily autonomy,” and that ordering people to choose between a vaccine and losing their job “is coercive, invasive and unjustifiably intrudes upon their fundamental rights.”...

The ACLU has not signed on to any of the major challenges to vaccine requirements this year, and its highest-profile litigation has come not in opposition to public-health regulations but in defense of them: In South Carolina, the group is challenging a state law banning school mask mandates, saying it violates the Americans With Disabilities Act by discriminating against students who are susceptible to severe illness from COVID-19. [Students are NOT susceptible to severe illness from COVID-19]

...David Cole, the ACLU’s legal director...“You don’t have the right to inflict harm on third parties, and that’s what you’re doing when you refuse to take a safe and effective vaccine to a very infectious virus.”...

To the ACLU’s critics, its support of vaccine mandates is another sign that an organization that was often willing to take unpopular stances in the name of liberty has abandoned its roots to fall in line with progressivism...

ACLU officials similarly reject the implication that their support of COVID-vaccine mandates is inconsistent with the organization’s opposition to past immunization requirements. They argue that COVID-19 is a more infectious and deadlier virus than H1N1, and that the vaccines are better...

“It’s important to understand that our lawsuit is not just sort of a wholesale embracing of widespread mass mandates for all students no matter what, without exception.” [said Allen Chaney, the director of legal advocacy for the ACLU’s South Carolina affiliate]...

Like everyone else, the ACLU has been grappling for nearly a year and a half with previously unthinkable curtailments on personal freedom in the name of public health. “We have to be careful. We’re in a whole new world,”the group’s executive director, Anthony Romero, told my colleague Conor Friedersdorf in April 2020, when much of the U.S. economy remained shut down as part of an attempt to “slow the spread.” The ACLU largely deferred to public-health authorities then, as now.
