““If you disagree with the medical industry, you’re labeled as evil or a nut job,” he said.”
Yes, generally, refuting centuries of medical progress for no good reason does make others question your judgement…
If people want to work in healthcare and not get vaccinated, they should choose another field to work in. What’s next, allowing medical professionals to skip washing their hands before a procedure because of their personal freedom?
Wow. Willful ignorance is a bad look. Don’t these people know that Indiana is a “small government” pro-employer state?
“God gave me free will and I don’t intend for anyone to take that away from me,” she said. So, employers should have the same rights, correct? That is, not to employ someone who could bring disease to their workforce? So, we’re all agreed then.
In response to Leah Wilson, it is also immoral and unethical for one individual to inflict societal harm. If an individual wants to practice personal freedoms, then they should also accept that society can place restrictions upon them to prevent societal harm. It cannot work in only one direction.
As an ultimate example, killing someone may be a personal freedom but you will be restricted to jail to prevent further societal harm. Not taking a vaccine is not too far akin from that if you pass a disease along to someone else but because of your practice of personal freedom, that disease kills them.
When you live in society, as we all do, one has to accept some societal restrictions for the greater good. That is the moral and ethical choice.
+1. Great response.
However, this also assumes the person the virus was passed to was not vaccinated or the vaccine was not effective. If the person who contracted the virus was not vaccinated, they are just as much (if not more) at fault for contracting it. If the vaccine was not effective for the one who contracted it, then it cold also not be effective for the one who passed it along.
Personal freedom allows individuals to decide the risk they are willing to take. Taking a vaccine is therefore not about the risk of passing along to others as much as it is protecting one’s self.

As an employer of multiple persons I will not be party to usurp the civil liberties of individuals by demanding they do anything that they can conscientiously object to. Nor would i contribute to this ‘nanny’ state proliferation that the national even state seeks to impose on us. People need to wake up and see where this all goes past tomorrow.
Will you feel the same way when one of your multiple employees puts you in the hospital by giving you COVID-19?
Before you worry about tomorrow, ask someone who lost a loved one to polio or measles about yesterday.
Jeffrey R – Where it goes is that people won’t patronize your business if they find out you don’t require your employees to take sensible precautions to protect your customers. How about you do us all a favor and let us know the name of your business so we can avoid it. I’m sure you’ll get Trumpsters banging down the door, **so to speak** , to support your idiotic approach.
Bring me the Trumpsters then. I can deal with people that have common sense. Something that has been sorely lacking of late
Jeffrey, I see you left out the part about identifying your business. Spineless.
If the vaccine works, why are you worrying about a non-vaccinated employee bringing the virus in? Isn’t the vaccine protecting you? Or, are you saying the vaccine doesn’t work, in which case should an employer force you to risk your health to get it?
We’re worried because 70-90% of the country needs to be vaccinated for herd immunity to occur. If herd immunity isn’t achieved, the virus can continue to spread and mutate. Depending on how it mutates, it could make current vaccinations worthless.
Also, some people can’t get the vaccine for medical reasons, based on actual science not just a preference. Those folks rely on everyone else being vaccinated to keep them safe as well.
Wesley, the virus can mutate regardless of whether herd immunity is achieved–through vaccine or through natural transmission. They just tend to do this.

Fear sells.
Indiana never fails to fail.

It was the easiest thing to do. (Apologies to CSN)
In the same way that “God gave me free will and I don’t intend for anyone to take that away from me,” my employer and my school, has the right to make the workplace or the school safe for ALL of the people there. If someone makes a choice to not protect themselves and as a potential result, other people, then the employer or school should have a choice to bar that potentially dangerous person.
To the daily comments of Wes and Joe –
I work in healthcare and my personal view given my age and risk factors is not to get vaccinated. Nor will I demand any of my employees receive a vaccine against their will/view.
If facilities mandate it for entry or surgery (which I know they won’t at this stage unlike the influenza vaccine which has a long history of safety regardless of annual effectiveness) there may be a discussion.
Forcing constituents to follow arbitrary rules is the reason for all this chaos (310 days to slow the curve I guess) given complete lack of transparency in the medical data.
The only benefit I have is receiving daily data by each hospital which is not shared with the public.
And that is one of the many issues. Biased data. Media hype.
