Or maybe, just maybe, we know how to read an abstract.

Maybe we availed ourselves of emerging medical technology to protect ourselves and those around us. You lost a paycheck over YOUR decision. And willful ignorance. Quit blaming others for your own choices. Man up and be accountable. Vote no if you like, but quit trying to get others to join you so you can feel better about your poor decisions.

I was refering to the "against my religion" objectors that were given acommodation.... which was unpaid leave until the pandemic was over. There is no need for reinstatement, as they were never fired. They just lost a lot of cash. I also like the 'removed from trip without pay, and no pickup over those days' accomodation that ALPA and the Company came up with for trips to countries that do require a vax in the future. No games, baby. Decisions have consequences.

FYI sport I never lost a paycheck as i reluctantly took the shot. It’s nice to see you were accepting of the unproven and untested emergency use shots, but there were those that were not so trusting and I can understand their apprehension.
where did I say I’m voting no?

You shouldn’t have taken the shot reluctantly. If you have true religious or science reasons for not getting the shot then why cave? Also you blame others for accepting the rushed and unproven yet you did the exact same.

You put a price on your moral standards apparently. It’s okay, it is just much like the hyped religion message coming from the infidelity group.

Reminds me of the quote “we judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions”

It’s nice you can look down from your soap box and judge others for making a decision based on the positions their union and company put them in.

I'm the furthest thing from an anti-vaxxer, and actually believe that even companies have freedom of association and should be able to mandate vaccines in circumstances which align with .gov guidance.

But the decision to get a vaccine is not binary, black-and-white. There are actual statistical risks to pretty much any vaccine so it's always a cost-benefit analysis. Frankly I would never get a vaccine "just because" such as for some exotic bug found only in Timbuckthree, if I wasn't going there.

I have a shot card longer than my arm from the mil, including anthrax. Risk was acceptable to enable my career. Anthrax was a little iffy, but my motivation on that was straight up 9/11 revenge, ie getting into the fight. I also jumped out of airplanes for those reasons.

I got the two covid shots pretty early on because we had a family trip planned to a country that required it. Otherwise I would have waited longer and assessed developments over time.

Getting a shot you're not comfortable with to preserve your lucrative job and career is a reasonable tradeoff, if one so chooses.

The gubment doesn’t need to implant 5G chips into anyone. We all voluntarily pay to carry them around and stare at them all day…like you (and I) are doing right now.

I will take your non answer as an admission that you don’t have any side effects
