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.
I had a friend who went to Georgetown Law. He said there was about 5 conservatives in the entire class of hundreds.
Eh, they are there but you have to camouflage yourself or you become an easy target in an academic setting. I am definitely not a leftist but no one would suspect me of being "conservative" either based on how I portray myself outwardly.
I work in tech and it's pretty much the same thing. I have to either bite my tongue when my lefty coworkers are discussing politics, or pretend to agree with them.
Luckily, I can blend in very well. I look like a younger version of Not Gay Jared from Crowder's show, and I actually am gay, so everyone naturally assumes I'm a liberal even when I don't say anything.
We gotta choose our battles, and picking a fight over politics is not something I'm prepared to do.
