To get it out of the way, I’m fully vaxxed and I don’t think it should be mandated.
No people aren’t being rounded up and stuck with needles against their will. Getting fired from a job is a big deal. Not being able to pay bills or buy food or care for a family, no health insurance, that’s a big deal. Surely you’re bright enough to distinguish between “forced full stop” or “forced and in extremely dire financial straits.”
What if I told you there was a new federal mandate that requires you to get a tattoo of my choosing on your forehead. If you don’t, you lose your job.
Doesn’t seem reasonable.
- olliej 5y agoYou are making a categorically, and objectively false, equivalence. But I suspect you know that. If your job requires interacting with other people, then your not being vaccinated directly risks the health and life of those people. You don't get to say "it's my choice to intentionally risk harm to others" and then say "it's illegal to stop me from doing that". For example, no one is required to be licensed as a doctor, but you don't get to do surgery on people if you aren't licensed. The law doesn't prevent people from being alcoholics, but you don't get to be a drunk bus driver.
