> Again, you have to look at the odds: that person is far more likely to miss work from getting COVID than getting vaccinated — very few people have significant reactions requiring multiple days off of work — and most employers are allowing leave above the legal minimum It's not you or I that have to look at the odds though, it's our hypothetical person. Will they make the same calculation we would? The point about mandated sick leave is a good one, definitely helps. > Also, let's not forget the context of this thread: a quote about New York business' vaccination status checks. That person barely getting by working two part-time jobs probably isn't spending their time on the indoor dining, bars, gyms, etc. where that requirement applies: I don't think I can get behind this part. Maybe somebody takes them out on a date once in a while, their friends want to buy them a drink, they need a quick bite on the way to work. Little things that help make that kind of life a little more bearable. We can't just say well they couldn't afford these things anyway, so what does it matter if we don't allow them in.
