Will vaccine division create party splits?

I was unaware anybody was forcing the vaccine on people. Who is being forced to take a vaccine?

 

No. I don't have any interest in watching President Biden.

But I did read (apparently an incomplete) summary about federal employees/contractors and Medicade/Medicare facilities having to be vaccinated if there is not a medical or religious reason not to (which is fine, they have always had conditions and it is under federal authority).

I read about the employers of 100 or more required to vaccine or test. I disagree with that (that falls under the State if they require a state license).

But I did not see anything about forced vaccinations.

I understand that this means .0076% of our population would be affected. But 75% are already vaccinated. So we are talking about .00190% of the population having to decide between job or complying with the requirements of their employer. Thus is not even taking unto consideration those with medical or religious exemptions.

Ultimately only .0019% of the population is affected. We have over 1,000 times more likely to get covid than to have to choose between our choice and employment requirement.

 

Your post is extraordinary dishonest to have been posted by a professing believer.

I have not read anything about forced vaccinations. I did not watch Biden (I've been at the beach all day).

 

Well, that would certainly count as forcing.

I just don't know when our country became such pansies that they decide what their employer can and cannot require.

You want to see socialism? Look at the people demanding that employers cannot make rules for their employees.

That said, the federal government making private companies require vaccinations or test is definitely an abuse of power (I e., the norm for tge government).

 

It it not that cut and dry.

With HIV a person who does not disclose their status and infects another has committed a crime (see HIV nondisclosure).

The possibility is that a covid positive person who does not disclose their status and infects another person could be charged. It would have to be shown the covid positive person did not disclose their status and was in fact the source of the virus which did infect another. It would most likely also have to result in some permanent damage.

There is always the possibility that an infected person who refused to wear a mask and infected others could be guilty of neglect, I suppose.


This is like a grown up version of Mr. Roger's imagination game. Kinda fun.

 

Probably.

I am pro-employer when it comes to setting their own requirements. I am definitely not a union kinda guy.

When I worked at a Tritium facility a group of young hires walked off the job because electronic devices were prohibited.

You would say, I think, that they were forced to not have their cell phones. I see it as a requirement the employer established and within its authority. They were not forced, but they had to choose between their cell phones and their jobs.

 

Who has said they would fire somebody for their religious beliefs?

The policy mandating vaccines for federal employees and contractors exempts people on the grounds of medical and religious reasons.

So the Amish guy working at his federal job does mot have to be vaccinated if it is against his religion (I'm not sure their view on vaccines). The Baptist who has a history of an allergy to vaccines (like my sister) is exempt.

 

What is THE private mandate? The federal plan (with the 100 or more employees) does have that provision.

I am not so sure the government should dictate to private companies how to run their business....they already do that too much.
