> they're being fired for negligible benefit You are only measuring "benefit" to the individual. They're mandated to do something with zero cost and minimal risk. And it comes with massive benefit to the group and to the public as a whole. They're being mandated because there is a huge cost to infection. The Canadian government pays an average of $23,000 for every person that gets hospitalized by COVID. [0] Roughly 5% of those infected require hospitalization. And we have already seen numerous people blocked from timely access to healthcare due to hospitals being filled with COVID patients. It's good public policy to require vaccination. Providing incentive to get infected is a really bad idea because it will result in healthcare resources being massively oversubscribed. Besides, infection-acquired immunity is not permanent. The virus mutates and it is likely that additional vaccination will eventually be required for subsequent variants.
