I’m wondering if the mandate applies to unionized work groups? Somehow the postal workers are exempt. I see that the NBPA has rejected a vaccine mandate in their negotiations with the NBA.

Your moral argument can be made for any company not requiring it even before the government made it mandatory.

This is from the internet so it’s probably not true.
Roughly 12,000,000 Americans are misdiagnosed each year.
Medical errors cause an estimated 250,000 deaths in the United States annually.
A little more than 4,000 surgical errors occur each year.
It’s estimated that 7,000 to 9,000 patients die every year from medication errors.

So they rant and rave like angry toddlers threatening violence and touting phantom conspiracies oppressing their "rights". Nothing will change their MINDS because this is about how they FEEL and what they WANT.
Forcing someone to do something against their will is not freedom or liberty. No one is saying that unvaxed people want to do whatever they want. That’s a strawman argument. What they are saying is that they don’t want to get vaccinated. People’s risk of death from COVID is measured in the fractions of one percent for those under 75 and those without specific comorbidities. And the percentages for those vaccinated is even lower. So saying that someone who is unvaxed infringes on the rights of the vaxxed just doesn’t add up.
Forcing someone to get injected in order to protect those who are already protected by the vaccine amounts to authoritarianism.
