If your job required you to get vaccinated, would you quit?

I don’t want to take the vaccine, but would do it if my job requires it. However, I like my job

We all took vaccines to attend university.

Please don't post on this forum anymore. This is a vaccinate only zone.

Thank you.

Personally, I think this is an incredibly foolish hill to die on. Your odds of having an adverse reaction to a vaccine are north of 1 in 1,000,000.

Even a young, healthy person has a 1 in 5,000 chance of dying if they get Covid.

What country was this? Vaccines weren't required at my college.

That's only the short-term effects. Who knows if this new mRNA vaccine causes you to get cancer or some other life-threatening disease many years from now? The links between lung cancer, smoking, and asbestos weren't known right away.

Civil engineering is a profession that requires making decisions with serious consequences for thousands of people. If you object to being vaccinated, it would be better for everyone if you quit your job and work in a field where you are less likely to hurt people.

Easy decision. As I intend to be vaccinated at the earliest opportunity, it wouldn't give me any pause if my workplace required it.

Yup. Already had dose one of the vaccine. I’m also former military and probably had every vaccine ever made including anthrax. I’m fine. I’ve also seen a lot of people pretty sick and dying from covid. It was a no brainer for me.

does anyone know if there are any vaccination requirements for burger flippers? i think they have a higher potential for transmission than a desk jockey (who could probably work from home half the time).

+2 I can’t remember ALL the vaccines I’ve had while in the military. I also get the flu shot every year since I work in the health field. I rarely get sick. The first dose of Covid vaccine was fine. My arm was really sore for a day, that’s all. Kind of like getting a Typhoid shot. ??

I've had jobs that demanded that I quit drinking, and I didn't kowtow the line. Why the hell would I get a vaccine just because they require it? You should tell them to shine on.

It's going down like this...

Company wants people back in the offices that they are paying for but, they are not shielded from liability should someone get infected. HR will send out a message about the offices re-opening in 60 days and employees must be vaccinated in order to return to work.

Some workers will object for various reasons. HR will initially honor those objections for about 30-45 days allowing you to work from home. A few weeks later, the company will announce that a sweeping reorganization is taking place and that managers are evaluating their team's staffing and skills needs. Of course, people in the office will have great opportunities to show their stuff and kiss up. WFH workers will not be as visible. Some WFH will get the jab and then roll back into the office.

Still holding out on that vaccination? No worries...for the company. You will get a three way Zoom call from your manager and an HR representative. Sadly, as part of the reorganization, it has been determined that your position has been eliminated. Thank you for your service and we will e-mail you the details of your severance package and how to sign up for COBRA benefits after your effective termination date. Your network links have already been severed and a courier will arrive at your home in the next 48 hours to collect your laptop and any other company equipment in your possession. We wish you the best in your future endeavors!

You realize COVID itself could have unknown long-term effects? HPV, Hepatitis B and C, Epstein-Barr, various herpes strains, and most obviously HIV are correlated with cancers and other long-term health conditions.

And I say this as a person who's been mostly against lockdowns and blanket mask usage. Just get the shot so we can get back to normal life.

Not even close. Nearly 3% become sufficiently sick within 24 hours of the shot to become incapable of working for at least some time

"Even a young, healthy person has a 1 in 5,000 chance of dying if they get Covid.

"

In fact not one healthy young person has died from Covid

I think he just made it up. The Covid believer crowd tends to do that

definitely quit wrote:

Yeah, you should quit. Anti-vax morons like you shouldn't be anywhere near the public, let alone civil society. Your stupidity is almost certainly contagious.

Who will do all the work when you vaccine people are all messed up from the vaccine?

You almost certainly had to get a meningitis vaccine to go to college (at least if you lived in a dorm). You also almost certainly got a wide array of vaccines as an infant.

You should be vaccinated as you are in close proximity with your coworkers in that boat.

Dry your eyes and roll up your sleeve, buddy.

No. Stick that needle in me.

They have been doing vaccines for decades. Some people do have negative responses to vaccines, and it is a low, low percentage. This vaccine was tested on over 40k subjects and went through all of the trials and tribulations that a vaccine does.

Most vaccines aren't made as quickly due to funding and overall manpower available. Because of the urgency of this pandemic, they have had a significant amount of financial assistance and much more manpower to get this done. That's why things seem "rushed." They are simply operating at a higher level, a level the the world would be capable of with all things if enough people cared to help.
