I had already been double vaccinated by the time the idea of making them mandatory came in here.
I believe in vaccination.
But if I’d known they were going to make it mandatory for people in my profession, I would have reconsidered.
This should be a choice.
Now, the boosters will most likely be mandatory. Do you believe in those, as well? Every three months?
My husband did it back in spring. Long before real thought of force. But he’s not so sure about the boosters.
I applaud your open mindedness and thank you for sharing your journey and opinion. It’s nice to hear frankly and well, wisely, and kindly stated
I believe in vaccination, too, but this is a pale imitation of vaccination, with an unusual and unacceptable level of risk attached. An injectable substance that doesn’t prevent infection and doesn’t stop transmission is not a vaccine.
I retired early from a 30-year career a few months ago because of the mandate. Now I’ve started consulting part-time, but had to apply for an exemption (it was approved) because I will be working on a contract with the FAA, and so the federal contractor mandate applied (and I’m working 100% remote from my home - what a joke). Anyone who can’t see that protecting health has absolutely zero to do with the government’s COVID response is just blind. When you’re forcing people to be “vaccinated” who will never be in the same building with any of their coworkers (or in my case, not even in the same state), the obvious objective is power and control, period.
“I believe in vaccination.”
Same here but only by choice. My niece who was totally against mandated vax, was denied service by her dentist, unless she could provide vax confirmation. She had the vax.
