Poll of the Day > Is it fair that Employers can require employees to get Covid-19 vaccine?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not unless it was already in their employment terms when they took the job, I guess. If it wasn't, then the employer should make reasonable accommodations if they don't want the employee there in person without the vaccine.

Wasn't long to find some useful stuff in there

Did this guy really just insist that someone post a picture of his employment papers to prove something on the internet? Can you please post a scan of your birth certificate so I know you're over 18 too please?

Keep in mind Zeus has posted on this board for years and we know almost nothing about the guy. He once claimed early on that he worked for the department of defense which got called out as a lie instantly.

Ever since then he has refused to reveal anything about himself while at the same time constantly demanding that other users prove things by posting personal information.

I took the vaccine just to prove to my family and friends that it was okay to take.

all sad facts we can never forget to call him out on. lest we risk him denying the facts, and trying to claim his accusers are 'mentally unstable' enmasse, instead of him being an obvious liar, yet again, ok?

Pretty much every job carries the requirement that employees take reasonable measures to ensure the health and safety of their coworkers and customers. That takes no effort at all to be interpreted as requiring vaccination to an ongoing public health crisis, much like it can be interpreted as requiring employees to wear masks while working. Not everything needs to be explicitly in there.

I say no it isn't because some people are skeptical about a vaccine they know very little about.

By the time most people even have the option to be vaccinated, millions of doses will already have been administered over several months. Being skeptical of the first doses is reasonable, given how quickly the trial process has gone (though the data from those trials isn't hard to come by, if one actually wishes to change the "know very little about" part instead of just using it as something to fall back on because they don't want to make a legitimate argument). Being skeptical of the 20 millionth dose, much less so.

It's only fair if you're pro-saving lives

I highly agree Sunny!

The only people that should be exempt are people who have allergic reactions to vaccines in general.

And even then, my mother (a family doctor who does obstetrics on the side and has a buttload of life-threatening allergies, including many vaccines) has an appointment with an allergist in the near future to see if it's possible to work out a way for her to safely take the vaccine. That's a bit of a special case, given how important it is for health care workers to be vaccinated (both a very high exposure risk and they work with a lot of vulnerable people), and I don't think going to such an extent is reasonable for most people, but there are still options beyond throwing up your hands and saying "I'm allergic, better give up."
