Notice The OFFICIAL Corona Virus Vaccine Game Thread........

airlines will enforce it and my bet is so will Europe, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, and most of Asia.

 

And I'm all for it!
And at the workplace as well. As somebody who has only worked a few days since March....... I will take anything that can get me back to work!

 

I know it can be tough in the winter months when nobody's lawn grows for you to cut.

 

The lasting effect is the big question. I heard Sanjay Gupta on Anderson Cooper last night say they really don't know how long the vaccine will last once you get it.

 

This is America; you have to give them a choice. Vaccine or bleach?

 

Airlines, I can see happening internationally.

Employers? I don't know, they can open themselves up for liability if there is a lawsuit. I know vaccine makers are immune, but if an employer mandates this and there are some side effects, there could be some lawsuits or someone going postal on them.

 

Won't Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want to mandate it?

 

They may want to. Will they? Doubtful, there would be huge blowback.

The whole thing about immunity passports and restricting movements if you don't have them, etc? Just don't see them pushing that yet when they can barely mandate a national mask policy or lockdown.

 

This is much easier to enforce, though. Mask policies and lockdowns take a lot more policing. Hopefully they do it. I'm also in favor of employers requiring vaccinations but that, again, is hard to enforce a government mandate on.

 

Lawsuits on what grounds? They wouldn't be forcing anyone to vaccinate, they'd be setting rules for working for them. There's nothing you can sue for.

 

You can sue for anything. Making taking a vaccine a condition for employment may not be legal. I'm not sure, I don't know the laws.

Your source says it is legal, though there are some potential allowable exceptions.

And yes, you're right, technically you can sue for anything. What I should have said is, there's nothing you can sue for that won't simply be dismissed.

Shielded from liability
Employers will be protected from liability should an employee develop side effects from a vaccine, according to lawyers. Any claims would likely be considered on-the-job injuries and be funneled through worker's compensation programs. Also, employers themselves won't actually administer the vaccine — they'll enlist pharmacies and other health care providers.

"If your employee gets a flu shot at a local pharmacy, even if you have a 'get the flu shot' campaign, you're not assuming responsibility for that — you're not administering that," said Delphine O'Rourke, a partner in the Goodwin law firm's life sciences group and health care practice, during a recent webinar.

 

Well, if I am forced to take it and I get cancer, I'm taking some motherfuckers down with me.

 

I hope your dismissed case and your samurai swords bring you comfort in that difficult time, if it comes to pass. (Though I hope you don't get cancer from either the vaccine or the 5G.)

 

Hey, if they don't give anyone cancer, there's nothing to worry about.
