Should businesses be barred from mandating coronavirus vaccination for employees?

We still live in a free country. Because even the vaccinated are still getting and spreading the newest Covid virus.

It is a fact that vaccines are not 100% effective, they only lessen the symptoms in some. It is one thing to require a vaccine that is 100% effective, but requiring a vaccine that is not close to that AND given the fact they may find another for the recent virus, it does not warrant a mandate.

what other medical procedure are mandate supporters think employers should be allowed to mandate? How about employer mandated exercise? Would that be ok too?

No job owner or business has a conservatorship over me choosing what medical therapy or gene therapy that would force me to do what they say, no right to my private health info, nor my health history. That is unconstitutional. My proof: The US Constitution.

workplaces are short-staffed enough. why give them an ultimatum to have to fire someone, reduce their workforce more and possibly have to pay unemployment benefits?

No, a private business has the right to run their business how they see fit. If a employee has a problem with it, they can go find another job. If the business suffers for it, that is the cost they have to pay.

But, not as much as previously, now that the virus appears to be waning. And kids, by and large, do not get seriously ill if they do catch it. I think common sense should reign, and continue spacing. And abide by CDC recos if the virus returns.

It will bring the pandemic back to higher numbers of I'll and dying. The kids wearing masks because they have responsible, caring adult parents will be bullied by the mask less kids who have childish parents acting like 2 year olds having tantrums

Kids can survive covid in a week if they get it and masks arn't good for them

Seriously? If there is any bullying going on, it is by the "virtuous" mask-wearing kids of anyone who does not go along with them. That is the toxic environment in the schools. But you can ignore the science of the kids being safe without masks, my kids will happily ignore your kids.

The masks are proven to work against spreading the virus. I am also concerned about the School Board overreaching and bending to the anti-maskers. Would these same people who claim masks don't work want their surgeon to show up for a procedure without a mask?

Because the vaccinated rate is so low and hospitals are full

Reply
Greg Moore
Greg Moore

The hospitals are not full because of kids who are unvaccinated. The important things are the fact that the IMMUNITY rate (combined natural immunity and vaccinated immunity) is VERY high, and Omicron is of almost zero threat to kids. It is time to consider all risks, and assess the risks.

No, I'm not concerned!

You can't just make up facts to fit your narrative. Per the CDC website, over 1,000 children in the United States have died from covid. Let me guess, "pro-life"?

2 in 1 million are at risk for severe disease. That is certainly less than the amount of depression, anxiety or suicides alone. The collateral damage has been devastating.

It has been medically proven that long term mask usage is harmful to your immune system, which if overprotected can stop functioning correctly. Not to mention the physiological problems they create.

Masking our children, who are breathing their damaging expelled bacteria and Co2 for eight + hours a day five days a week, is NOT okay! I know public Schools are being incentivized with money from our Governmen Public tax dollars. There is a huge conflict of interest there! Freedom of choice!

Discipline and technique of mask wearing among the general populous is not effective. This is evident by the omicron surge which occurred during a mask mandate. I feel that the social alienation caused by obscuring peoples faces outweigh the marginal benefits of poorly worn masks.

No. Masks are not that effective and more of a control tool of the Left. Yes, I wear a mask but it is so I don't get hassled.

Why would anyone be worried? This is Omicron, the kids are under effectively zero threat by it, and if one is worried about no masks, that person would have to be completely clueless about the science, which shows that the masks are doing nothing to stop omicron

CB, your stats are false. There is ZERO support for a claim of 1,000 kids dying FROM COVID. Johns Hopkins: a research team reviewed about 48,000 cases of children under 18 reported to have COVID last year... “Our report found a mortality rate of 0% among children without a [PEC]
