Employers have right to mandate COVID vaccine in Tennessee; legislator vows to keep that from happening

I was told that I have antibodies now, but could still be reinfected. They don’t have enough information to say with 100% certainty if that’s true or not, but they feel fairly confident that I have at least 5-7 months of protection against a reinfection.

I remember shortly after the release of the first vaccine (Pfizer) that the Epidemiologists were saying that once they got 70% of the population vaccinated, we would probably be able to stop wearing masks. On Thursday, I was listening to the news on ABC and the Specialist said they would like to have at least 85% vaccinated before saying we could stop wearing masks. Next week, maybe the new number will be 90%.

Why wouldn’t anyone not want to get a vaccine that may save their life? I did like the suggestion that stated a person being vaccinated should be in an environment where breathing equipment is available in case the person would have an adverse reaction.

If such a ridiculous mandate passes, I hope the courts become bogged down with lawsuits. If I was still working, I'd be at the front of the line.

It already has happened, starting decades ago. For example, a cigarette smoker who never smokes at or near the job is told to either give up smoking or face termination. Private enterprise causes more loss of freedoms than government.

The smoking thing is usually related to the company's health insurance provided to its employees. The insurance carrier can say it won't cover a group which contains smokers, or that it will hike up the premiums if there are smokers at the company.

Yes, of course, they have a reason. There is always a reason, or at least a reason they will give. There are other examples of private companies infringements on employee personal rights, and of course there is always a reason. The reason doesn't always negate the facts, that a worker's rights to a private life is invaded.
 
Vaccine clinic at my work tomorrow. I guess it's not mandated but at this point I plan to get it. I'm going in for my weekly covid test anyway. We actually have to get tested twice a week now due to increased positivity rate in the county. Oh joy. I'll see how I feel afterward if I do get it and don't change my mind at the last minute.
