Did I say that?
Oh stop acting like you're not going after them . . . you are . . . otherwise you wouldn't bring up the few points I mentioned.
Most of the people I am responding to in this thread have 0 intentions to take the vaccine regardless of safety data.
You don't know that for certain. You're assuming that based on the fact that they've commented about being against mandates.
They complain that their freedoms have been trampled, when they have not, and they are being forced to doing something, that they are not.
How are you failing to understand that just because a person can choose not to do something that it can often be characterized as being forced to make the opposite choice? Folks need jobs (well, unless you're a slacker sitting at home pulling in more unemployment benefits and you're choosing to not work for a little more) and if their employer is mandating something what choice do they have if they want to keep their job? Sure, some could look for alternative employment with an employer that doesn't require the vaccine, but we both know it isn't always that easy. So yes, many, many folks see this as them being forced to do something. Just because you chose differently doesn't mean you're right and they're wrong. You brought up consequences for choices, make fun of folks who feel like there shouldn't be any if they choose differently than you, but fail to actually understand that they would in fact deal with consequences (losing a job) based on their choice. Folks should be allowed to provide positive antibody tests as proof of protection. That's not an option for where I work. It's either get vaccinated, submit an exemption request (that may or may not get approved) or hit the road. My leadership is actually buying into the idea that even though many staff never interact with a patient that because we support healthcare (even teleworkers) that everyone needs to get vaccinated. Period.
Vaccinations are fine . . . I've gotten them my entire life. But I've never been told I'd lose my job due to not getting a brand new one.
You came in a few days later and act as if I am speaking to you directly. You quoted me first.
I quoted you and asked specific questions . . . you chose to get snarky instead of answering them. If you didn't want to actually discuss it then you should've just said so . . .
