0 pwrslm Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I find it peculiar that they would do this. The COVID vaccines are classified as experimental. The nature of the beast says that nobody should be forced to chose between their job and any experimental vaccine. I find the moral stance offensive. seminoles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted July 29, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) The only reason they are still experimental is because the review period for them wasn’t waived. If you work in health care, you get vaccinated. Anything less is irresponsible. They do have a choice- vaccinate or find something else. Same choice private medical has. Pretty much every state is an at will state so it’s not a discriminatory act because other employers are requiring it too. . I haven’t heard a peep from the Union either and if there was something they didn’t agree with they would have raised it months ago. Would you have the same morally offensive stance if you or another veteran went to a VHA facility and was infected, got sick, or potentially died? especially if it could be traced to one or more non vaccinated employees?

0 Mr.B Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Occupational,safety and health! People have rights to work in a safe health atmosphere trumps how someone feel. You don’t like working in a hospital get in different line of work. You don’t believe is science don’t inter the science of field study. No one has the right to endanger other people health seminoles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any entity or organization that requires EUA COVID-19 vaccinations, COVID-19 tests or masks are in violation of federal law, and will likely face lawsuits if they don’t allow exemptions or alternatives.” I am just waiting for the fall out. Class action suits over this will likely take years to evolve. Edited July 31, 2021 by pwrslm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted July 31, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2021 So am I. I really hate moral absolutism. It’s inflexibility resembles a similar framework to that of the morals of a 6 yr old. I hope they lose every ruling. seminoles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
