    Corporations have rights, remember? When did cons stop supporting the rights of corporations and business owners?

    Your personal rights do not grant you the right to endanger somebody else or tell a business owner that they must adhere to your feeeeeeelings.

    Do cons write to their Senators in their states when a business restricts them from receiving service for no shoes and shirts too? Do they get as angry when businesses tell them guns are not allowed in their establishment? Do you recall how many cons complained that their so called personal freedoms were being stripped from them by going to Trump rallies for 4 years not being allowed to bring their guns with them?

    As the employer, they have a right to set the terms and conditions of employment. They cannot force you to have a vaccine however they can fire or furlough you if need be and you'd have no legal recourse in a court of law. For those employees working under a union contract, the prevailing language would apply in this case.

    Are you an on-site contractor? Did Biden make you get the vaccine?

    No one is endangered anymore than they are from a person driving a car. Progs just love being dictatorial and trying to control others' lives.

    Nope. Our work is done via VPN's and RSA Tokens. We do all the high end data integration and metrics that make Project Controls and Portfolio Management possible.

    Biden and his administration are encouraging everyone to fire us. No administration was encouraging ALL businesses to restrict ALL gay people from buying a wedding cake.

    The key word is employees as in helping to keep each other safe from each other as well as their own personal safety. And companies do have a right and a responsibility to their employees and customers. If employees disagree they can find employment elsewhere.

    Why would a president encourage unemployment when a high unemployment rate makes them look bad?

    Incorrect. A vaccinated vs unvaccinated can BOTH spread the virus therefore it makes zero difference to others.



    Next employers will want clearance of all STD's from a dr. or you're fired? After all, wouldn't want to pass it on to other employees.

    Employees who don't like it can find another job. As for a person's sex life employers have no control over what their employees do after hours. Personally I would be more worried about getting crabs at work than an STD.

    And yet you must comply with seat belt laws for your safety. But you don't cry about that.

    There is no federal law preventing an employer to ask for your vaccination status. HIPAA

    You are correct, they just sided with business firing gay people, banned gay people from serving in the military and pushed court briefs to allow it universally.

    Obviously, the person that you responded to is egregiously misinformed:

    The short answer is this: In general, the HIPAA privacy rule doesn’t apply to them. That means they can ask you to show proof you’ve been vaccinated.


    I have always been amused by how many people post BS on the internet (having no idea what they are talking about).
