In reply to the discussion: Half in new poll say it should be illegal to deny service, employment to unvaccinated [View all]Slammer

No, OSHA very recently made getting the COVID vaccination mandatory.
They didn't, decades ago, make getting the measles vaccine, the mumps vaccine, the chickenpox vaccine, the polio vaccine, the smallpox vaccine, and all the rest mandatory.
And they still haven't made getting the rest of those vaccinations mandatory.
If they made vaccination mandatory as a precondition for being employed, you wouldn't have this level of pushback over people getting a new vaccination.

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