Since the vast majority of companies in the US (notably in the airline industry) still do not require the vaccine (even after the executive order places additional threats to do so), they obviously do not share the moral argument of the mandate. Some companies will fight back and the legal challenges could last well beyond the forecasted month. Our country and industry are definitely at a crossroad and we will see which direction it turns.
Back to the real question which is based on your sincerely-held moral beliefs concerning the necessity of the vaccine to protect innocent life. If your employer received an exemption and did not require vaccination as terms for employment, could you ever see yourself working in such a dangerous and immoral environment? Thanks for your thoughtful consideration of this question. DR K
There are an infinite number of ways you're going to be forced but to name a few...
1. For those who fly to China... So when you go to China you have no Rights what so ever... The first one of our pilots who pops hot there and is "Held Accountable" for being unvaccinated could change things in itself.
China will 'hold accountable' unvaccinated for COVID-19 outbreaks (nypost.com)
2. You could start having to pay for the cost of your risk via insurance costs.
3. The company could get tired of the Covid sick calls.
4. The company (or another company) could get sued for an unsafe work environment.
5. The government mandated it for FedEx last week. That could hold up in court.
6. Most countries we transit could require it.
7. The government could require proof of vaccination for interstate travelers.
8. Airlines could require proof of vaccination for all customers.
9. Wild Cards.
Personally I think the company is waiting for #5 or #6 to play out so that they aren't the bad guy. Any way you slice it you'll eventually be required... I'll be here to remind you that I told you so when they do.
