Fair, re military. But at my government job as a programmer at a university I was "forced" to vaccinate as well (unless I wanted to change jobs). I didn't mind, personally. But the descriptor of "forced" is pretty accurate.
And not just jobs. Heck, I went to a concert and had to prove vaccination status.
I think that requiring vaccination was justified at the height of the pandemic. It is unfortunate that the vaccines were not more neutralizing/preventing. I've had three doses and got the virus twice. I ended up being okay; my unvaccinated brother-in-law very much not okay. Like most people do, I have relatives who either died or were severely disabled by covid.

People were arrested by the police in NYC because they dared to walk into an Applebees and order food without showing a smartphone QR code that demonstrated they had multiple vaccinations for a disease that is readily spread by vaccinated people. It wasn’t based on science and people trying to use science as a shield for their actions should have been held accountable.
