This is going to be a mess legally. Some folks cannot take the shot due to medical reasons and will need to be accommodated without disclosing their medical records. ALPA is like having a public defender you’ll be convicted 97% of the time. This is a major development to the workforce going forward if they are able to find legal footing to keep it in place going forward.

While the law appears to be on the side of private entities (as opposed to public) like employers requiring the vaccine, interestingly, they can not require proof of vaccination that shares any medical information. So basically it sounds like scout’s honor.

Can't wait to see how the "but muh freedums" crowd shifts once the EUA goes to regular FDA approval.

We don’t know at this point how long our bodies remain tolerant to the virus. Also, your symptoms can be the result of a number of factors, including viral load of exposure. So it could be that your body’s a superstar at virus crushing as you claim, but it could also be that you were only exposed to a low level of virus. Would that then mean you developed a lower immuno-response and are more likely to get reinfected than someone who had a higher exposure? Again, we need more time & research to know.
So the vaccine’s effect on your immune system probably falls somewhere between completely moot & a booster. In time we may get a clearer picture of what the most effective timeline for post-recovery vaccination looks like, but for now, it’s safe & functions as greater assurance that you’re out of the supply chain of viral hosts. Keeps grandma safe & gets us all closer to the time we can take these damn masks of & get back to senior man pay & summer vacations in Europe.

You arrogant misinformation, forced outrage, and social-media junkies are the media boogeymen our parents warned us about.

More projection here than a 24 screen movie theatre. I didn’t have to go back far in your post history to see your well-sourced ( I’m guessing a combo of Facebook, YouTube, and Hannity ) thoughts on the ‘plandemic’. Who’s drinking the koolaid now?

Yeah, gain-of-function research is the biology equivalent of enriching uranium... if you're going to do it at all, it needs to be VERY tightly controlled. Probably best not to do it at all.
Everything I've seen has indicated that there was NO genetic engineering evident on covid. If it was engineered, there would be obvious signs, we don't have the technology to do that kind of "surgery" without leaving obvious genetic scars and loose ends.
Now it could have been selectively bred in a lab without leaving any structural signs of manipulation... the only way you'd know would be to examine it and make a judgement call as to the likely-hood that it *could* have evolved in nature due to natural evolutionary pressure. If somebody selectively bred a wolf to have a slightly different fur color, you couldn't really say that it couldn't have happened in nature... but if somebody bred a wolf to look like a poodle, then you know just by examining it that it had some help along the way. If covid is pretty similar to a wolf (it appears to be), then it's hard to know for sure that it was bred to be something different.
