| Your employers mandating you to get the vaccine in order to keep your job is not an infringement on your rights. You could have made the decision to quit your job. You could have not gone to any of the places that required a vaccine card. You are not entitled to your job or any other public settings if you refuse to comply with their health and safety standards. This applies to federal workers too. Depending on the job, it was already common for feds to have all their vaccines and pass a yearly physical. This was not a new concept. Nobody was being shot down or thrown in jail for not getting the shot. |

No one said it was so egregious that people were thrown in jail, but it was coercion from the government that the average person found to be overbearing and intrusive. We have all kinds of laws around protecting workers from exploitative employers.
To come down heavy handed on people with demands to "follow the science" when thr science was constantly evolving was destructive. |

| I think some people were prosecuted for having parties during the pandemic while others were allowed to attend large protests |

Outcome for having more than 10 people at a party in March 2020 = a year in jail |

It absolutely does infringe on human rights. Only out of touch privileged people believe this. And the Supreme Court disagrees with you fyi. Only industry is healthcare that employers can force vaccines on their employees. |

I agree we should have let people refuse vaccination, BUT
then hospitals should have been allowed to refuse treatment. Unvaccinated aholes were clogging the healthcare system. I wish they had allowed them to recuperate with ivermectin at home and let the chips fall. They should have been allowed to FAandFO. People didn’t want to be protected by the nanny state, and that’s fine. They should have been allowed to live as they wished and suffer the consequences. |

*sigh*
Yes, people were fined and arrested for ignoring public rules during an emergency. As they should have been, IMO. These happened at a local level so not sure how that applies here. Beside the point, but most happened during the Trump administration since that is when restrictions were tightest. This is also something that was happening around the world and not unique to the US. And yes, you could legally get fired from your job for not getting vaccinated unless you had an exemption or agreed to an alternative such as regular testing. It was a breach of workplace policy. |

Protesters were being arrested for ignoring social distancing rules. Again, this was a matter of local law enforcement so not sure what it has to do with this thread. This is also something that was happening around the world and not just in the US. |
