How does a BMI of over 30 put other workers at risk? These situations are not analogous. And unless Alabama has a far more strict proposal than the proposed federal mandate, no one is requiring unvaccinated workers be fired, only they be tested weekly, so the analogy breaks down on that front as well.
- josephcsible 5y ago> How does a BMI of over 30 put other workers at risk? How do unvaccinated people who work from home put other workers at risk?
- Volundr 5y agoI didn't say that they did? You've ignored the entire content of my comment to engage with an argument I didn't make.
- josephcsible 5y agoYou said the situations weren't analogous. I'm saying they are, because firing an unvaccinated remote worker doesn't make anyone else any safer than firing an obese remote worker does.
- Volundr 5y agoExcept most workers aren't remote workers, and as stated in my original comment that you chose to ignore, there is no mandate that anyone be fired for being unvaccinated. So being unvaccinated is risky to others around you while having a high BMI is not, and you suggested firing employees with a high BMI, while the mandate only calls for testing unvaccinated employees. So again, the analogy falls apart two different ways.
