I had thought about it a lot and decided that it was probably worth the risk, based on conversations with medical researchers who really understand how it works.
Then yesterday we had a workplace webinar where the president said that all staff are required to get the vaccine. Someone said how can you possibly require a vaccine that isn't even approved, but is only under emergency use authorization. The general counsel piped up and said that we think we are within our legal rights to require you to get it.
Someone else pointed out that in order to get this experimental vaccine we have to sign away our liability rights, so if the vaccine injures or kills us we have no recourse. And so isn't the company then liable for forcing you to take that risk? The webinar went silent for about 40 seconds and then the general counsel said that she would "circle back" on that question. So now they are worried...
Going to wait this one out for a bit.
Walked into work today, and everyone was talking about their reactions to the vaccine. One co-worker was hospitalized. Another had headaches, fever, and stomach problems, as well as her husband cancelled his fishing trip because he felt so bad (unheard of from him). Another received her second dose yesterday, she looked like death when she walked in. But they all were still talking our elderly coworker into getting one and where to go. Everyone i work with has had side effects. Plus, I had a client tell me her sister miscarried after receiving it. All over a cold that has 99% survivability. Im surrounded by idiots...
She got it while pregnant? Are you serious? Why the fuck would anyone think that would be a good idea. The poor baby deserved to live
