Had to laugh because since being retired and close to “I don’t give a rats behind” anymore, I think I did that for 38 years when I was working.
Private business owners own the business. They have rights as owner to dictate terms. They can morally make people take a vaccine in order to be an employee. But we as people can also criticize their decisions and appeal to individual needs and rights. People can and should put pressure on business owners to give their employees medical freedom. For the most part they do too. But for COVID private business has forced employees to get vaccinated based on government edict. Before the Federal Government announced their requirements or regulations, there were NO private businesses that forced vaccination. This is a situation where business owners aren't acting on their own but acting as the enforcement arm of the Federal Government. At this point, this is a violation of natural rights because corporate action is controlled and directed by the government. That is fascism. It's immoral and should be fought with everything we have.
Doctors link erectile dysfunction in younger men to after effects of COVID-19 Rut Roh! Good thing I’m not young.
The mandate is unconstitutional and a clear violation of people's rights. I don't argue that point at all. However, I highly suspect that many businesses (especially large ones) want their employees to vaxx even if they weren't willing to force it and welcome the mandate. After all, their job is to make money, not to make a political point about their employees' rights.
Businesses also don’t want their workers at home because they have someone at home with Covid. They are hoping most of the family gets vaxxed too. The best way to end all of this is stop all restrictions whatsoever and go back to normal.
Good thing is the virus is mutating into a less lethal disease. Luckily it didn't go the other direction.

I don't disagree with this statement. But that is mainly because they are coopted by Communist ideology. Where I disagree, I actually don't think they focus that much on making money today. I work for a large global corporation. The leadership is making layers of decisions over the last 10 years that specifically will reduce profitability in order to adhere to woke agenda. They teach climate crisis propaganda actively. They embrace radical feminism. They have committed to racial equity by giving away tons of money. If they don't change direction our company will have to lay off a large amount of people and get out of many businesses due to these bad decisions.
Good article on long list of Covid policy issues. Note the number of excess deaths in Australia and New Zealand that shows minimal impact of taking the vaccine on deaths (excluding Covid). DEEP DIVE: Covid Myths
You're right. Most of the time it does. However, the Spanish Flu was mild at first and we saw what happened there.
Cases and hospitalizations still going down in Houston despite Covid surging in the Northeast and Midwest. It’s called natural immunity. TMC Daily New Covid-19 Hospitalizations - Texas Medical Center
I think there are layers to it. I think we're seeing Gen Z entering the workforce. They're motivated by social justice causes, and Millennials at the managerial level are sympathetic to them. Both are willing to enlist social media and HR departments to shame, bully, and intimidate anyone who doesn't go along by ostracization. However, I also think older business leaders see the writing on the wall and assume that echoing the woke religion will be a prerequisite to doing business with these screwed-up generations. Jonathan Haidt has commented on this and how to deal with it. Link.
Was Delta an outlier? My understanding is that it spread easier than the original virus but was less lethal.
The Oslo outbreak occurred at a party where everyone was vaccinated and everyone tested negative before the party. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cn...biggest-outside-s-africa-authorities-say.html
I"m sure I've repeated this a few times here. It was unique in that it spread out of the trenches in WWI. The people who got real sick went to the hospital. The hospitals had people coming and going in very large numbers. The people who got kind of sick just stayed at the front. The version that went to the hospital is the one that propagated.
