  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey, the antivaxxers are not a protected class under EEOC or ADA. They can be legally discriminated against.
Or even those that are not antivaxxers. Just those that are leery of the covid vax. Many of the anti covid vax have been fully vaccinated, and have had their children vaccinated. They also are discriminated against for therapeutics as well if they get sick.

Foolishness is not illegal nor protected. But it can have natural and logical consequences.

It certainly is a shame. But people like Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins have been presenting a consistent scientific and medical message across both the Trump and the Biden administrations.
Ah politics, politics. Fauci has lied about gain of function research in China, China and the WHO lied about it's spread, it's origins (for now we know that the theory of lab origins was in fact not debunked) Lies, political tail covering on and on it goes.
The facts have not really been at issue. It has been politicians who don't listen to the experts and their analysis of the facts.
Yes politicized. That is the problem. People and doctors denied therapeutics of drugs used all the time for many years. Yet, forced to get a vaccine that was quickly developed. What a shame politics has entered into medicine. The FBI, politicized, Education of our minor Children politicized. Journalism, politicized. Judges in our courts, politicized. Now medicine. Now corporate America, our livelyhood politicized.

Especially termination for cause.

A hospital has every right to make vaccination a condition of employment.

It's not even a difficult legal argument.

Politicize it! Let no disaster go to waste.

Politicizing kills people too. Who on the other side is gonna listen to you? It's already been politicized. There are already doctors on the news which have spoken concerning things on both sides. Medicine has been politicized that kills people too.

People are screaming for the government to make more regulations against corporations' freedoms regarding employment and termination.

I am trying to be realistic, that is not likely to happen in a republican state.

Anti-covid-vax people are vaccinated and are discriminated against?

This a-here looks to be doublethink.

Anti covid vax, is fear of it's fast development, and the unknown's of future issues. Many which are fearful have had traditional vaccines. They have been in use for years and years. So it is not right to label them as anti vaxxers. I have a family member who does not want vaccination, nor her children vaxxed with covid vax. But her children are vaccinated, as well as herself. Mainly it is the distrust of all the politicization. That in itself causes alarm.

Like so many anti-vaxxers, you artfully frame your position in a way that misleads the reader. If Covid were not so highly contagious, then, and only then, would you have a point.

You do not have the right to hurt me just because you choose to be reckless.
Wrong on every count. I'm framing the legal question. You are drawing unwarranted conclusions and hurling ad hominems instead of engage with the issue.

Won't the free market take care of this?

But let's not allow too much hyperbole here - various employers and schools have required vaccinations before. The sky didn't fall then, it isn't falling now.
To some degree, yes. But when autocrats rule, it can be an issue, which may not be limited to this.
