In reply to the discussion: Half in new poll say it should be illegal to deny service, employment to unvaccinated [View all]PatrickforB
(14,624 posts)10. Why am I questioning the results of this poll? Probably because the way
the questions are phrased can skew the result in favor of 'controversy,' which is good for ratings...
I fully support vaccine mandates, and employers firing people who refuse. Why? Well, I don't want to catch COVID from some numbskull at the office, or even risk it if I don't have to.
Secondly, for employers, making it illegal will expose them to litigation risk from people who have been vaccinated, do wear masks, and STILL caught COVID from some selfish nut-job at the office because the employer was too wishy-washy to create a definite policy around that.
Anti-vaxxers are NOT a protected population, and so in a sane appellate court system (which we no longer have), any lawsuit against a vaccine mandate should not have standing.

OP
Not being vaccinated shows a cavalier attitude towards oneself and a callousness towards others.

They also supported at-will employment laws, never thinking they'd be on the shit end of the stick.
