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 work for a multi-billion dollar company and we received an email last month stating that the company would support those wanting to get the vaccine but it would Not be required to maintain employment with the company. Which is a good thing because I have no intentions of Ever taking a Covid-19 vaccine. Some of the folks I work with have taken the vaccine and I respect their decision however I choose not to take this vaccine. I have been with this company for over 30 years but if they required us to get the vaccine they would just have to fire me. Some things are more important.
