[QUOTE="Well-Known Member, post: 5057696, member: 85066"] Just because we have different opinions doesn't mean that I don't respect yours, or your right, to voice an opinion. My discussions have been about an Employer disregarding an Executive Order, not about your right to not have to be forced to get a vaccine. I don't believe anyone should be forced, although school children are not allowed in school without certain vaccines. Weird, huh? Is the difference only because of the short time frame of the COVID-19 vaccine? Or because of an adult being forced? I also understand when it was only an emergency use vaccine. But it is now fully approved by the FDA. My wife was not vaccinated and COVID-19 kicked her ass for 2 weeks. I was vaccinated and had a headache for a day. Is it because of the vaccine? Or my immune system compared to hers? Some might also say that I was fully vaccinated and still got the damn thing? Yep. It was not 100% effective against contracting the virus, but highly effective against severe complications requiring hospitalization. And almost 100% effective in preventing death. I also know there are some reported adverse side effects of the vaccines. This happens with all vaccines, all medications. Most are usually mild, but one has to weight the risks and the benefits. Bottom line, we should not be forced by the Government to take a vaccine. Although, in this case, we are not. We have an option of wearing masks and being tested in lieu of being vaccinated. But then there are those who say they will not be forced to wear a mask or get tested. This is actually for my benefit, not theirs. If they don't believe in the vaccine, so be it.
