Should the government require employees of large businesses to be vaccinated from COVID?

In September 2021 Italy became the first European Country to make COVID-19 health passes mandatory for all workers. By the end of the same month Canada, the United States, Australia, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Turkmenistan all announced similar vaccine mandates. Proponents of the mandate argue that these mandates are the only way to end the global COVID-19 pandemic. Opponents cite evidence that people who already have natural immunity are at heightened risk of vaccine side effects caused by an augmented inflammatory response.

that can depend of the company and the people that work for that company

 @8ZYQ394 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I think it should be the employee's choice if they want to get vaccinated or stay non-vaccinated.

 @92V7DJZ from Ohio  answered…3yrs3Y

No, because not every willingly wants to get vaccinations. Many people dont belive in getting vaccinations.

 @8VC2Q88 from Virginia  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but all large businesses should be required to adopt a mask mandate policy if they refuse to require vaccines

 @8SFDLS6 from Iowa  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, schools require children to get the flu shot, why not require businesses to require the COVID-19 shot?

 @8WBJ79M from Oregon  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes if you don't have some preexisting condition that stops you from getting the vaccine.

 @8W9NRSM from Massachusetts  answered…4yrs4Y

I dont think so because people should have the freedom to choose what goes into their body, but if they refuse to get the vaccine they should be required to wear a mask

 @8WDJ2P3 from Florida  answered…4yrs4Y

I feel as if yall need to mind yall business and stop trying to make laws to require working people to get he vaccine,everybody reacts different (thousands of people have died.)

 @jolson437 from Nebraska  answered…3yrs3Y

 @93X4TMH from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

Only if the business in question is contracted with the government

The Great Progressive Exodus: Inside the Left's War Against Harris

One of the central mysteries of this election has been to what extent the left will defect from Democrats, potentially costing Harris the election with votes for JILL STEIN or CORNEL WEST. Stein is far from concerned about that, NYT’s Matt Flegenheimer captures in a lengthy and dishy profile. For the first time ever, Democrats are launching an ad campaign against a third-party candidate (Stein) over the coming weeks. And even Stein’s own family and friends tell the Times they don’t support her and urged her not to run. Stein, whose “bid can feel precision-engineered to damage Ms. Harris with key subgroups,” pooh-poohs what she calls the “spoiler mythology” and places the blame squarely on Democrats.On college campuses, there are some signs that the left-wing protest movement has quieted from its peak when Biden was in the race — but even a small number of defections from Dems could prove pivotal in a close election.In East Lansing, Zack Stanton reports for POLITICO Magazine that Michigan State student activists furious about the Israel-Hamas war are torn between demanding more from Harris and stopping Trump. In Chapel Hill, WSJ’s Jimmy Vielkind and Cam Pollack find that many pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of North Carolina are nonetheless weighing other issues in their vote, especially abortion rights. But liberal groups are warning that some undecided voters of color still don’t feel like they know enough to be convinced for Harris — and may leave the top of the ticket blank, AP’s Ayanna Alexander reports.
