3 thoughts on “United Airlines first major airline to require employees to be vaccinated

  1. Good for airline but still bad for passengers who will be on board with unvaccinated. At least, masks are required.

    While many refuse vaccination, their right, will others have the right to know how many unvaccinated are in an aircraft. Or could airlines offer both ‘anyone’ and ‘vaccinated-only’ flights?

  2. Private businesses have the right to require vaccinations, just as they require employees to comply with other requirements like not being under the influence (testing negative) for specific controlled substances unless prescribed. The private business will have to deal with the consequences of their policies. Maybe they will lose so many workers the business will become marginalized. Maybe not. The government on the other hand dose not currently have the right to require vaccines until such time as they pass a law to do that. Then it will go to the courts to determine constitutionality. What will the penalty be if they pass a law and many violate the law? Can’t get to work? Have to stay home? How do you enforce the law? Incarcerate them? Then you have a prison/jail of people not vaccinated in close proximity to one another. Getting vaccinated is a form of a moral issue and legislating morality usually fails. Best move is to accelerate FDA approval to decrease reluctance to vaccinate. Also test those who tested positive for Covid for antibodies, to see if they have protection. Most are tired of this debate.
