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.

I say no because there have been studies that the vaccines have had more of a harmful impact on people than a benefit.

 @9LMCHCFConservativefrom Nova Scotia  answered…12mos12MO

No if a private business is going to mandate a vaccination should be at the directive of the company with no meaningful influence from the government.

 @8ZR8QDRConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

No, the choice should be up to the individual, not business or government.

 @8YJRSXRConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Absolutely not. This is coercion and violates bodily autonomy and goes against freedom.

 @9C7ZMY7Conservativefrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

I think if a certain vaccine is mandatory then all sickness vaccines should be mandatory not just one

 @9855CDBConservativefrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

No, I believe this should be a business's decision; not the government's

 @8WBKNCQConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

It’s your Choice whether you want to vaccine or not.

  @8ZH59GG from Washington  answered…3yrs3Y

No, businesses or government should force vaccination on people just incase it goes against religious values.

  @8F8D9G3 from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

No, neither the government nor businesses have the right to mandate/require vaccinations.

 @BrennanHughes15 from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

No the government should not tell you what to put in your OWN body

 @7GP32QV from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No, and ban the private sector from instituting vaccine mandates

 @93VVP97 from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

No, This is an overreach of the Federal government

 @8WQMNFV from Oklahoma  answered…3yrs3Y

No, I believe in personal freedom to choose vaccinations, that should not be dictated by the government

 @8WRG7RN from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

I think people should have the freedom to do what they please with their bodies. But yes, they should get vaccinated so they can keep OTHERS safe.

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.
