    I am not saying you are afraid of covid. People make decisions based on their health, not really out of fear.

    I am saying the argument that employers are making health decisions for employees is a strawman argument. It is dishonest to the facts of the situation. Employers are making decisions to mitigate risks of covid - but each employee to make their own decisions regarding their health.

    No. This is a false statement.

    I am saying that it is dishonest to say employers are making health decisions for employees. This is obvious as many are declining the vaccination.

    The vaccine has been proven safe (compared with rejecting the vaccine) and effective against covid. It has been proven to reduce deaths, hospitalizations, and infection. Covid has been proven a work place hazard.

    I understand you reject science in favor of pseudoscience and conspiracy (you even denied genome sequencing existed). That is fine.

    Flat earthers have their own "experts", as fo you. But stop pretending people are entitled to a particular employment or that employers are making health decisions for employees. That is just silly.

    see this is what you do. You say something then when you get called out for it you deny it. My post stands as true. You went into a whole diatribe about how I’m liberal and socialist because you claim I want to infringe on business property rights. Well if you are going to say that being against employer vaccine mandates are anti capitalist then so is everything else that would interfere with what a business owner wants. To include the business owner choosing not to do business with minorities. Can’t have both ways. Facts are facts

    I believe JonC has fallen for the new lie of the left. They now believe if you repeat misinformation long enough, often enough, and loud enough; it becomes true.
    JonC is playing word games. Since the employer is not strapping the employee at gunpoint into a restraint chair and jabbing them, I guess JonC is correct in his stance that the employer is not forcing the vax. If he wants to get that far into the word game weeds, I guess there is no reasoning with him.

    well he called me a liberal and a socialist said I want to force employers to not have vaccine mandates. If that is an example of a liberal or socialist then do would it be for anyone who wanted to force any employer to do anything including not hiring minorities. His intentionally inflammatory accusation is biting him in the backside do he had to respond with obfuscation. Normal

    You are confused.

    Government laws that you speak of are, per your definition, anti-capitalism. I suppose your argument that regulations and laws....like not allowing chemical companies to dump in the river....fall into this category. And I agree.

    That is why I said (and you ignored) "within the confines of the law". The government has many regulations and laws that are anti-capitalism.

    I already mentioned anti-discrimination laws.

    That does not mean you are right to ditch capitalism.

    Just because you see places where the government is not useless capitalistic does not justify your embrace for socialistic ideologies.

    No, not at all.

    What believe is a man should have tge right to operate his business and make conditions if employment within the confines of the law. I have said this repeatedly and you always come back with the silly idea this freedom is liberal and from the DNC.

    These are very basic freedoms you are suggesting Americans give up. What's next? Are you going to insist churches accept abortion or gay pastors?

    You and @Revmitchell have adopted the liberal Democrat position - you are just applying it specifically to denying men the rights to operate private businesses.

    Look.... @Reynolds and @Revmitchell

    If I thought vacvines were the silliest things since hand the conspiracy sites quoted here it wouldn't matter. If I thought vaccines did not work and covid was fake....it wouldn't matter.

    I am not the business owner. I have no right to tell them to vaccinate or not yo vaccinated. I have no right to demand they use masks or refrain from masks.

    Business owners should have the freedom to decide conditions of employment within the confines of the law. Period.

    You two can keep insisting private ownership insofar as businesses is evil, that it should be illegal ....but that is socialism.

    If you do not like what a company dies then don't work for them. Don't support them. That is your right. But you two have NO right to control another man's property.

    There is no difference between you two and the liberal democrats preaching "democratic sociaism" except you confines your socialism to business owners.

    :Laugh @Revmitchell 's post was not accurate. I think you know that just as much as he does.

    I believe the fed government overstepped with private businesses. I've said this repeatedly.

    There are laws that run contrary to capitalism. I think we all know this. We saw laissez faire Capitalism with the "Great Hunger". This is not what I am advocating.

    I am advocating people redist the socialistic ideologies that you and @Revmitchell are pushing.

    I have also said business owners should have the right to operate their business within the confines of the law. You and the "Reverend" know that.

    I disagree with a lot of laws (like seat belt laws).

    But unlike you guys I am not adopting "democratic socialisic" ideologies.

    You need to stop with your accusatory rhetoric. Calling everyone who disagrees with you a socialist is just upping your game from calling them a democrat. You are inciting. The left always accuses the very thing they themselves are guilty of, & it certainly rings true with you. Here with the flat earthers verbiage again, why don’t you just cut to the chase and throw out knuckle draggers? RevM was 100% correct.


    Oh, you're a woke-poke employer eh?

    You think hiding behind OSHA -- or the threat to issue a mandate by the government -- in some way prevents you from being liable for injuries and/or deaths related to the vaccines?

    Uh, how would you like to defend that position in court given all of the following are true:

    • The PREP act has no provision giving you legal immunity and cannot be amended by executive order as it is law, so you would need both houses of Congress to pass such a thing -- and they have not.

    • The producing firms and health care providers are immune from damages under that same PREP Act. Therefore under the general principle of joint and several liability guess who gets all of it: You do.
    • You could have tried to claim that the Federal Government refused liability (and got away with it) for direct employees, or even that "there's no such thing as vaccine injury from these jabs" and claimed that the Federal Government itself said this is so..... except, oops, that just went up in a puff of smoke.
    The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) covers injuries that occur in the performance of duty. The FECA does not generally authorize provision of preventive measures such as vaccines and inoculations, and in general, preventive treatment is a responsibility of the employing agency under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7901. However, care can be authorized by OWCP for complications of preventive measures which are provided or sponsored by the agency, such as adverse reaction to prophylactic immunization. See PM 3-0400.7(a).

    Further, deleterious effects of medical services furnished by the employing establishment are generally considered to fall within the performance of duty. These services include preventive programs relating to health. See PM 2-0804.19.

    However, this executive order now makes COVID-19 vaccination a requirement of most Federal employment. As such, employees impacted by this mandate who receive required COVID-19 vaccinations on or after the date of the executive order may be afforded coverage under the FECA for any adverse reactions to the vaccine itself, and for any injuries sustained while obtaining the vaccination.

    Oops.

    If you mandate, as a private employer, "vaccination" against Covid-19 any and all adverse events as a result of said jabs are now chargeable to you, as the Federal Government itself has deemed that "mandated" vaccinations are indeed injuries that occurred while performing the job in question, irrespective of where the jab took place, and that said adverse events, up to and including death do in fact occur.

    Got that employers and HR Departments? Said "adverse events" are expected.

    Oh by the way your insurance firm has likely inserted a "pandemic exemption" into your liability coverage. That's shown up in a whole lot of those policies over the last year or so, and it's odds-on that's the case for you as well.

    Incidentally there is plenty of evidence that these jabs will be eventually found to be responsible for a whole host of serious problems, and those do not end within a couple of weeks of the jab itself. Indeed, the evidence is mounting rapidly (see the all-cause "excess death" rates for various age groups, particularly cardiac and circulatory related, among young people now showing up in places like Scotland and England for examples) that there is a causal link between both strokes and heart attacks.

    I remind you that the FDA and pharmaceutical industry claimed, not all that long ago, that no such link existed for Vioxx. It was only after about 60,000 Americans had heart attacks and died, and several hundred thousand had non-fatal heart problems caused by it, that it was withdrawn from the market -- five years later.

    Moderna and Pfizer may be immune from lawsuit but you are not, and further, the precedent by the Federal Government itself now exists based on their own public statement that if an employee gets screwed by the jab you demanded they take you're on the hook whether that injury is evident five minutes afterward or five years later.

    If OAS or ADE shows up as is being indicated, but not yet proved by the data out of both Scotland and Britain then you're really in trouble as every single vaccinated person who gets Covid-19 and dies or is permanently harmed in your organization, and that will be a very sizeable percentage of the whole, is going to result in a huge lawsuit that you will lose.

    J.C. you are straight up trolling.
    Anyone requiring a medical procedure is removing, not granting, freedom.

    You are pushing an illogical position. You are trying to say that taking freedom from the many and giving it to a few is Freedom. You are backward on this.
