And so ... if these holdouts would stand their ground and walk away from their jobs ... what a clear message that would send to those trying to extort the working class. Imagine running a hospital when 15 to 20% of your workforce was fired and is unreplaceable...

    but hiring is not an automatic thing forever. Rules can change at the decision of the employer, just as an employee can quit at any time for whatever reason.

    However the rules were changed after employment started. Getting the Vax was not a condition for being hired.

    If the employer has certain requirements, I think those should be respected. If I was offered a job in a coal mine, I would just not accept the job and move on. If someone doesnt want to be vaxxed and thats a requirement for employment at a certain place, the employee should just move on.

    obviously some people dont feel comfortable getting vaccinated with the current products. Maybe they should just quit and get other jobs

    "How many hundreds of million doses need be given before a vaccine can be considered to be approved or fully vetted." Well, it's a little more involved than that. Normally, a vaccine is run through the scientific process, for starters. This includes animal trials, which this vaccine did not go through before being administered to humans. Normally "hundreds of million doses" are administered to humans AFTER an established amount of research on the product. Then, there's a time-dependent aspect of the research required to properly vet a vaccine (long-term effects). Notice how the newest headlines are curiously questioning that vaccinated people are starting to get sick and die? Welcome to the animal trials! This time, though, the animals are human. Man...this is surreal to watch unfold. Look at the little circular graphic describing the scientific method then learn how these mRNA vaccines to brought to public. There's your answer. Super simple.

    We all are learning a hard lesson ... when government gets big, it’s out of control.

    Neither my husband nor I have chosen to receive this vax. Right now, on tonight's news, the talking heads are saying a third dose may be necessary to stop the spread of covid19. If this is supposed to make us more willing to be experimental animals, someone goofed. None of the three formulas have been certified as safe by the CDC as of yet. In the past, there was no reason to distrust such organizations, the polio vaccine being one shining example of proper research and development. Now? The trust and belief in our research facilities has eroded. I stand on my right to refuse treatment that may be harmful to my being.

    In order to accelerate their program they almost have to jerrymander the fda approval process. Keep your eyes open for that rabbit hat trick.

    They just can’t kill us off fast enough. I wonder what is their hurry. What do they know that we don’t.

    "a vaccine that isn't approved or fully vetted"

    How many hundreds of million doses need be given before a vaccine can be considered to be approved or fully vetted.
    I do not see why those in the Gulch who advocate unproven medicine and supplements would ask the government's FDA and others like the CDC to approve anything?
    If a religion, then, like all religions, people place themselves in limited trance states by suspending their reason's critical faculty and hang onto a selective reasoning by using what could be seen to be questionable premises to hold onto some idea without the necessity of an objective reality.

    Airlines who made it mandatory are now experiencing pilot shortages. Some have suggested the effects of the jab have not been favorable for the glorified bus drivers.. Also heard warnings of air travel for the vaxxed folks due to high risk of blood clots.

    This is noting short of mass murder with the hospital as the before the fact assistant. These vaccines are not safe, most have likely expired in early vaxers. The FDA never approved them except for emergency use, yet now wants to mandate these workers take them and eventually die? We know that peopel vaxed can still get and pass the virus, what is the point! Oh, depopulation, mind control and all other goodies built into this bio-weapon. Someone needs to get sued and sent to jail to end this assualt on humanity.

    Just from my own experience, I've traveled to many job sites across the country and was never asked about any vaccinations, nor were any a requirement for working on any site. The only time I was questioned about vaccinations was when I had a job contract in China and was given a few jabs "just to make sure", which I voluntarily accepted. The jabs were for well known illnesses and the vaccines were known for years - nothing new or experimental. THIS vaccine is somehow different.

    Most do, but most of them also have exemptions (religious or medical, or having had the disease). This doesn't seem to have any exemptions (admittedly I didn't read the article word for word but I did search for exemptions).

    I like this. Wonder what the response to a significant number would be, and perhaps a court case. I bet Biden will just force the FDA to approve it. There is no downside to him from this.

    Most places require proof of vaccinations for children in schools, day care and camps. Seems the same, heavy-handed approach.

    There is no longer anything such as patient’s rights. Big Brother will decide what’s best...
