You don’t lose your job for not getting the flu vaccine. Again, it’s an unprecedented situation and I’ll accept the mandate for the three shots, but this has to have an end at some point.
The government using private industry as a proxy to enforce policy they know will not pass the legal process is wrong.
What's likely to happen is a covid vax will get rolled in with the quadrivalent annual flu vax so most people will just get one annual booster.
Granted this article shared that the rate is low, it also surfaced mandates for healthcare:
And since 2004 the average effectiveness for the flu vaccine is about 40% so I guess if you are in a high risk group it might increase your survival a bit, but not enough effectiveness for a national mandate. The death rate of the flu is about 0.01% for all populations.
I mean, would you get a surgery that had a 40% success rate if your chance of dying without the surgery was 0.01%?
Should you rx chemo therapy this afternoon? Probably not… unless you have a known tumor. Radiating random people off the street is not a good idea—I fully agree!
I do not mind mandates for vaccines for certain workers, but for young bartenders?
A jab isn't as evasive as surgery, it doesn't carry the same risks,costs,time etc
Remember, that hospital systems in pretty much all countries has collapsed. They have to move surgeries and some patients are even afraid to go to hospitals at this point.
This is just factually incorrect. This kind of fearmongering is helping nobody.
There are actual technical and medical answers to this, but somehow I have a feeling you aren't interested in knowing them.
