United testing covid test, vaccine passport
#11
From everything I read, it sounds like they are pushing for 100% vaccination. Cuomo said that NY state will be a 100% vaccinated state without exceptions. Not sure how they can blanket force everyone. However this travel thing is concerning because if a certain government requires it, you just won’t be able to pass through customs.
Edit: I’m in the same boat in terms of bad reaction to vaccine, so I definitely don’t want to die or get permanently unable to work because of a vaccine for a virus that has a high survival rate for my age group.

Yeah, let me know how that works out in the Hasidic Jewish communities in NYC. The recent measles outbreaks have been traced to low vaccination rates in Hasidic communities.

Not sure this can be mandated without some exceptions made. As an example, I cannot get a flu shot ever because of a previous health issue back in high school. COVID-19 is in a family of viruses that include the flu from what I understand. That raises the question for me if I am restricted from getting the COVID-19 vaccine as well. I don't know the answer.

I’ve worked at an airline that required international vaccine’s due to the areas we were flying. We carried our yellow vaccine cards with us while on duty.

You can choose to not be employed there. See how that works? It’s kinda like “freedom of speech.” Plenty of people think that gives them license to say whatever they choose. Your employer is not the government.

Good luck to us all. I really don't think you're going to convince all 330 million in this country to inject themselves with the most rushed vaccine in the history of mankind for a virus that kills < 0.8%.

I would agree with that statement. What I disagreed with was what you said about your EMPLOYER. That’s why I COMPARED it to freedom of speech. For me personally, I don’t plan to get the vaccine....and the government can’t make me. However, my employer can make it a condition to work there....and so can a lot of businesses. That will change things.

Kills? Yes, that is one bad outcome. But it's looking like, the more we learn about the virus, the more we are seeing other long term lingering health issues that seem to be caused by the virus. This is also a consideration.
