“B
Turn 66 & 2 months this coming Monday. Never been fired and will keep it that way.”

I’m in Florida, a right to work state. But that does not mean you can be fired just willy-nilly. There are all kinds of laws protecting the worker against unlawful termination. Unless the company wants to just run the risk of lawsuit they will obey the law. They’ll have to identify why you are not performing up to the required standard, institute a plan which the employee signs and agrees to improve his performance. Only after the employee has failed the improvement plan can he be fired without some sort of bite-you-in-the-a$$ ramification. Sure, there are probably lots of exceptions, but if the employee doesn’t want to go he’ll potentially have a lot in his corner. (That in triplicate if he’s “of color” or one of the 58? 59? “genders.”)

Now, if you were paying attention, the first requirement is that he’s failing to do something that’s part of his job. Getting a potentially life threatening vaccination is not part of his job.

Incidentally, word out of China is the government is having a huge problem getting people to come in for vaccinations. The “netizens” believe the government has put some kind of tracking device into the shot, and, they also believe the Chinese made vaccinations don’t work and cause undue problems. Probably the latter is actually true. I don’t think human technology has reached the point of the former...yet.
