Well when you are through with this you’ll probably have quite robust immunity. So much so that you’ll be Shielded against mutations. A recent study showed immunity up to 8 months (its getting longer and longer as studies can look back further).

My wife and mother felt a little worse after the second shot, but not much worse. Some people feel fairly sick though after the second one, to the point that local hospital employees are being given the option of PTO’ing the day off after the second shot.

which is why I’ll be getting it. People talk about the 99% survivability. Just being able to survive isn’t exactly how I want to live. You can survive cancer, does that mean you want to get it?

70-30% currently on the survey. What are the odds the shot becomes mandatory for employment? If it is how do you guys/gals see those percentages move?
The area where I live there is a county nursing home that is requiring the vaccine for employment. Employees aren’t forced to get the vaccine, but are on layoff status until they get the shot.

I think it is unlikely the US Government will make it mandatory because of inevitable civil liberties lawsuits. But, as you point out, many companies are likely to demand vaccination as a condition of employment and other nations might make it compulsory for admission across their border.
But here is an interesting proposition. The big pharma companies that develop the vaccines are immune from liability arising from their vaccine. But would that same civil immunity extend to The Acme Widget Company that demands vaccination of their employees and then one dies because of it?
Hmmmmmmm....

I don't think employers have (nor should they have) the ability to require an EUA vaccine, which probably why some medical workers can get away with declining the vaccine at this point.
Also keep in mind what everyone seems to forget: no employer can ever actually "require" any vaccine, test, etc. All they can do is make it a condition of employment if safety is involved.

Interesting article about Pfizer/Moderna liability :

Surprisingly (or not), EU laws (and contracts with said companies) dont make the pharma company immune (pun intended) to lawsuits, even with an accelerated certification program.
TLDR: You cant sue the pharma company nor the FDA if anything goes wrong. I realize 99% of people won't have any ugly side effects but the fact that the 1% are SOL is really disturbing.
