Except that if you get vaccinated, why does it matter if hypothetically I am not vaccinated? True story, I got Moderna, three months later I got Covid along with a group of my friends all vaccinated with either Moderna or J&J. Anyway, don't want this to diverge into a covid shitshow argument. The problem is that the US government is trying to mandate if you don't get vaccinated then you lose your job. That's an issue for me.

- sneak 5y agoThe simple answer? Vaccinated people, while they can spread covid from a breakthrough infection, spread much less covid than unvaccinated people, and they have a shorter period of time while they are contagious. You significantly reduce the risk of transmitting covid to others (should you become infected) by being vaccinated. They're not trying to mandate that you lose your job, they're trying to mandate (as they already do - see OSHA's current body of regulations) that workplaces are safe physical environments for people to be in. It's the same story with workplaces without fire exits being illegal. Even if you don't agree with it, it is definitely logically coherent. As much as I don't want unvaccinated people around, I also disagree with violent coercion, so I'm not sure that I am 100% philosophically on board with the state's right to regulate trade between private parties whatsoever - but if they can rightfully require fire exits or building safety codes, they can require vaccinations in a work environment.
