I've seen employers ask for vaccination OR weekly test results.

If frustrating when the owner of the company says it’s a “absolutely the right thing to do “no brainer”. Makes the people have concerns feel like they are stupid or wrong.

This assumes that the vaccines are sterile and prevent the vaccinated from catching and transmitting the virus. Notwithstanding that the medical "professionals" assured everyone a few months ago this was the case, we now know and they've admitted that vaccinated individuals can freely catch and transmit infection, as we've seen time and time again from breakthrough infections from "vaccinated only" parties and events.

OP - are you sure they were talking about vaccines? Maybe it's a weight loss program, as that is also a predictor of better COVID and general health outcomes.

You're not always going to agree with the owner. But he's entitled to run his company has he wishes.

The email was about the FDA approval and it’s time for everyone to get the vaccine.

All but saying it’s mandatory. Yet many of us work from home. I just don’t like this “for the greater good” mentality.
That's what happens when we live in a society where our actions impact others. If we all lived by ourselves on our own islands it wouldn't matter what we did.

That’s the problem with righties these days, they don’t care about anyone but themselves, they have the orange man syndrome. Bad role model leads to Darwin-level stupidity in which they aren’t satisfied just harming themselves, they want to take down the species as well. Hope humanity survives.
