I think that a vaccinate *or* regular testing requirement might be a reasonable one for health care workers...and maybe others as well. But a vaccinate or be fired requirement is *never* justified.
I agree,I think a lot of the original proposed mandates were “or be tested” weekly. One local meat processor is offering $1000 bonuses to it’s employees to get vaccinated, the bonus goes into effect after 30 days employment. They claim they are having too many employees out sick or quarantined and can’t keep up production demands.
The problems arise when there aren’t enough tests.
What happens when someone documents in writing that they have chosen “test”, and they can’t find anyplace to get tested?
There is no legal, or moral, argument to be made for any of this panic stricken nonsense.
The arguments made by the Leftist here are factually fraudulent based on nothing but their own ignorant mindless fear of a disease that kills less then 2% of the infected.
There is no rational arugmwnr to be be made for any of this.
That, and recognize the natural immunity of those recovered from COVID. For those who work with the most vulnerable populations (oncologists, infusion centers, dialysis centers, nursing homes, etc), they should probably require testing regardless of immune status. It's possible Omicron will make this mostly unnecessary.
the tests are not accurate and who actually knows what they truly test for, flu, a specific virus, or just a segment of virus that could be multiple cold viruses, some of which been around forever but keeping the “positives” up keeps the fear up. tests are a waste of time money etc.
