My administration is pushing hard for it as they are way over budget in overtime covering quarantined members. My union is silent about it. Very silent.
If side-effects reveal themselves, maybe I get an early retirement after all. I just feel like a guinea pig right now.
Not sure what good it will do but don't sign any-damn-thing if they make you take it. Somewhere in the fine print your signature is waiving any repercussions against the employer if things go south. I read the flu vaccine form at work and underneath your signature it said you were giving permission to be vaccinated. Nah, I don't think so. In that case I got my doc to sign another part of the form but that was for the flu, not COVID.
Bottom line is watch where you put your John Hancock as it will likely leave you nothing but a "Too bad so sad" if you have an adverse reaction.
And for those who will say "Their job, their rules".......telling you you will be fired if you don't take it is not exactly voluntary. Sure, no one is holding you down and sticking a needle in (yet), but c'mon, needle or fired/unemployed is hardly a choice. It is coercion pure and simple and shouldn't be allowed.
