Bodily autonomy is a sacred right here in oregon, from right-to-die to abortion. That this isn't being protected as an individual freedom illustrates a massive deviation from these principles. Combined with the inability of the current vaccine to prevent catching or spreading it, it's nonsensical.

Anytime you have to be mandated to do something, that most people will survive there is something wrong. Many have had Covid-19 and their immune system is better than the jab. Many worked through the pandemic before the vaccines and now they lose their job what's wrong with our government 😠

When they agreed to work, nothing was said about being fired for refusing vaccinations. Would they have been fired for refusing a tetanus shot? No! So this is no different.. The fact that they are not vaccinated does not make them any more or any less a worker.

Tetanus is not a communicable disease.

Most of these employees worked the entire time during the pandemic, when others were too damn lazy and drew unemployment. I don't have a dog in this argument, but those that do - should get unemployment.

Why are some people in the medical field refusing to get vaccinated? They know that COVID is not the deadly disease it is portrayed. They worked when they were needed. They should be paid if they are laid off. Anyone should if COVID is the excuse.

Not if they choose to deny the science and get their information on the internet trash line.

It is basically, a voluntary resignation. Same rules should apply as does with other resignations.

Their choice. Get a safe, effective and free vaccine to not only protect themselves but protect their family, friends and community…or not. They are so narcissistic that their political belief trumps everyone’s safety. Same with religious exemptions. Nope, they don’t deserve unemployment.

With any job if there are policies you don't agree with & refuse to follow, you are welcome to leave & find a different job!

They chose it, so no, they shouldn't be entitled to unemployment. That is for people who have NO other choice. I have read up on so-called "religious exemptions," and there are very few except for snake handlers and those types of really"out there" religions, People claiming that are faking it.

Choices come with consequences. These people can choose to deny scientific data but they sure shouldn't be paid for doing so when society's welfare is put at risk.

If you don't meet the conditions of employment, you don't have a job. You have a choice. If you lose your job, you lost it for cause.

We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
