I understand. Unfortunately, liberty can only exist where people are not afraid to exercise it.

Ive already walked out on 1 very good paying job because I wouldnt look the other way while my employer ignored safety on pressure vessels without the proper pressure gauges. Cost me close to 30 grand a year compared to my pay now. So been there done that. When the keg goes I'll be in the fight till then...meh.
Dont piss down my back and tell me its raining!
Hey - I'm not claiming moral superiority here. I don't know what I would do in the same situation. I refused to take a job in the past that required a drug test, but my family wasn't going to starve without it. If I really needed that job in order to keep my family healthy, would I take it? Yeah, probably. It is easy to see why liberty evaporates so quickly.
No, I'm not jumping on any slope or bandwagon.
FYI, I don't take 'shots' any more. The last flu shot I had (was forced by my employer at the time) was the first swine flu vax in 1976. In years prior to that, the flu shot always put me down for 3 or 4 days with a fever, aches, cough, pukes, etc.
No more of that crap for me.
Without arguing about it, there are health based institutions that have made an issue and even a requirement about this. I am not in the health industry nor am I a scientist, so not qualified to discuss it further.
I seriously do not understand how it came to pass that employers have rights that trump Constitutionally guaranteed rights. When the founders set those rights in stone there were no employers as we know them today and Capitalism had not yet emerged. I am certain that they did not have employers in mind when they wrote those documents - those rights belong to individuals, and were set down to protect individuals from others who would seek to usurp them for their own personal gain. Those "others" included powerful groups such as governments in their day, and Corporations in ours.
Any law that governed employers was developed later as commercial law, and those laws were written by commerce itself, and for it's own benefit. Today, we have come to accept as common knowledge that business has "rights" that can subvert God given rights. We just accept it. We have conflated capitalism with freedom when in fact, the Founders could never have imagined any such thing. Freedom belongs to the individual and not the group, no matter what form that group takes. Individual liberty is sacrosanct and trumps a groups liberty...or at least it should.
I work in ICU in a hospital. The hypocrisy that drives me crazy is that while the employees are required to get flu shots, the ICU has now politically correct "open visiting." Any yahoo from the street can waltz in and visit you in the ICU, no matter how sick or immunocompromized you are. They don't have to be related. Doesn't matter how many there are. Doesn't matter how long they stay. You could be in a coma, with your hair sticking up, your teeth out, and drool coming out of your mouth, and we're gonna let any old acqaintance in to gawk at you, because some uppity up administrator thinks that's progressive.
moonarch -- thank you for your posts shedding light on the real reasons vaccines are being pushed. I read the thread in its early stages this morning and just wanted to scream, but was unable to comment as I was away from a computer all day.
I'm stunned that there are folks here who believe that flu vaccines prevent the flu at all and that they are for their own good. NOT! Please, people, wake up and see what's really going on. These vaccines are nothing but chemical weapons, all part of YOUR culling. Stop taking them!
