To summarize:
Your employer can fire you unless you get vaccinated, but if you get sick from the vaccine you are entitled to compensation.
no job is worth dying for.
The 64K$ question is, can the employer fire you for refusing to sign a release of liability?
I would like to think the answer is “no”, but we currently have a Department of Injustice and political prisoners in the US, so, who knows?
That’s my read too.
Depends how badly one needs the job vs the jab, or the worker’s ability / willingness to stand up for one’s rights. I
In other words the cost-benefit analysis has been completely taken away from individual’s right to unimpeded medical self-determination. The employees medical cost-benefit analysis is replaced - now based on his employer’s mandatory vax policy and whether the employee’s benefit of not taking the vax and losing one’s job outweighs the cost of taking the vax. This is hugely significant shift in unconstitutional law and public policy implemented by the unaccountable administrative deep state. The employer is not required to show it is a necessity and the employer rules on whether employees exemption (for example religious) has merit. Where are the anti-corporate leftists.
Nonetheless, not everyone can afford to stand up, fight and lose their job. Therefore the advice is right - do not release the employer from any liability. Demand a signed statement. If a 1000 employees in a 5000 or 20,000 employee company demanded employer indemnification, you bet your a*s and your neighbor’s te employer will now have a major financial risk on their hands, that will require them to see if they are even covered, while facing major employment disruption in a marketplace that does not favor the employer finding replacements, and fast.
