we can go glass-half-full-glass-half-empty back and forth ad nausem here for sure :)
bottom line though, the then government (which is soon to be now government) went full ballistic on us during COVID times and vaccine mandates affected many lives
- Retric 2y agoOnly some parts of the government “required” their employees to get vaccinated, the entire US government didn’t. Even those bits only hit ~98% compliance. When you volunteer to work for someone you’re agreeing to do what they want or quit, that’s by definition a choice. When many private employers had the same requirements complaining about overreach by the government is misplaced, it’s at most overreach by employers.
- bdangubic 2y ago“only” 98% compliance should tell you all you need to know whether people are “forced” or not… the prospect of losing your job might not be that alarming for HN-average-person but…
- Retric 2y agoYou can hit 100% compliance by actually firing people. 98% means lot’s of scary memo’s and little action. So yea 98% says a lot about how toothless this all was.
