If the employer requires you to get the jab, they are necessarily infringing on your bodily integrity. They are MAKING you take an untested, experimental gene therapy into your body.
Yes, it's a gene therapy, according to the FDA. Moderna itself says so explicitly in its SEC filing (Wall Street).
If your right to integrity over your own body is paramount, you are subjecting the employer, indirectly, to an unknown risk (that of transmission of a virus with an overall fatality rate of < 1%, and even that concentrated among people over 70...almost all of whom are *out of the workforce*); further, there is no guarantee that even if you have the virus, you will spread it.
Further, the two risks are *disproportionate*: if you get the jab and have severe sequelae, you're stuck with them: you can't get onto CareerBuilder.com or Indeed.com and find a new, say, circulatory system. Whereas in the worst case scenario, the employer is subject to *inconvenience*: he'll have to hire a replacement for Jack who's off work. He doesn't lose the entire business.
Further, it is likely the business can purchase a policy to help bear the costs to replace sick employees. But the individual has no such recourse against manufacturers of the jab, if they cozen the government into calling it a "vaccination."
Dare we speak on this? LOL
I’m opposed to employers forced or control of employees lives not related to work. I’ve seen bad things happen when employers over step the work/home life bounds.
However, in a public health situation it is going to make a huge difference what the employee’s job is.
Would you want a nurse with Active T.B. in an exam room taking your blood pressure for a routine doctor visit?
The nurse, by the way, under terms of employment must summit to a T.B. test but it’s her body and her choice? So she says no.
It might be ok for an auto mechanic to have Covid-19, or T.B., hepatitis A,B,or C.........but the guy or gal making your pizza, no that’s not ok. Or is it?
Job description matters in this situation.
Also, why should the employer be on the hook to pay an insurance premium? They’ll simple find someone willing to do the job under their terms.
2 years ago the Metro Detroit area had a Hep-A outbreak.
The infected where being traced to area restaurants.
How should that be handled? Shut down the restaurant? Require the employee to get vaccinated? Or go broke and lose the business due to lawsuits?
Factory workers were not being traced for spreading Hep-A.
So the type of job I think matters.
