5 Covid tests and 2 antibody tests. It’s crazy stuff. Even my primary care doctor is miffed that I didn’t get it at Christmas.
I would ask them one question. If I took their mandatory shot and developed a complication or died from it could me or my estate sue them?
I identify as "vaccinated."
Sounds like my wife, on every floor nearly every day at the hospital, five to six days a week since this started and no positives ever.
That's the easy answer.
When you have spent 30 or more years at a job gaining retirement like a pension plan that you lose if you leave the company before retirement and your approaching retirement and your considered a senior, it's not easy to change jobs on a whim.
It's danged tough to find a new job when your in your 50's much less if your in your 60's.
It's a legitimate argument that employers should not require it as a basis of employment. Below the 60 year age group it's 98% recoverable. Why the hype?
I think the 98% stat is survivable, not recoverable. Recoverable is different from perfectly healthy as before the illness. There was a member post on here about a previously healthy 40yo person who recovered from covid, but now has kidney failure & may need dialysis or a transplant. Lots of people “recover” but have to wear oxygen at home. That’s why the hype.

Agreed. It shouldn't be. My rolling point was even if required, it's still not forced upon anyone unwilling. Was just getting ahead of the victim card before the deck was dealt.
Yep. My 56 year old sister in law had COVID back in December. She was in the hospital for 23 days. She still has breathing problems and says her memory has been effected.
I like to think I'm somewhat open minded. I just want someone to tell me how, getting vaccinated helps those around me in an office setting. If vaccinated, as I understand it, I can still get covid and I believe I can still pass it on to others even though they have been vaccinated as well. So, what is accomplished other than possibly lessoning the severity of the disease in my body?
I am not on my employers health insurance so I have no bearing on his insurance premiums and in my job I have no dealings with the outside public except, when/if I go out for lunch at which time I'm not on business time.
I believe a business should need to prove how they or their clientele are harmed or possibly harmed if their employees don't get vaccinated. I understand the medical field, my wife, son, and daughter all work there but where I work....I really don't see the need other than the owner has the law on his side and "chooses" to exercise the law against me. And this is the part that is aggravating.
Now, if someone can prove medically/scientifically without a doubt I'm a danger to their business/employees/clientele if I don't get vaccinated, I'll shut up and move on. Because who's to say what's required next....flu/pneumonia or any designer disease to come down the pike later on.
