Yes, it is true insanity. The harm this is causing and will cause our country and its citizens is far worse than the virus.
Forcing people to take a vaccine is insane. Are these companies, if they comply going to compensate workers or thier families for death or injury if it occurs from the vax? I bet no. Workers comp wont, as the vaccinations are done on the employees own time.
The testing option might be popular due to the above im thinking. Lawsuits and bad PR are not desireable for companies either.
It is unsustainable anyway. I have been trying to get a test at my local CVS and the wait is 4 weeks.
I think one think many are overlooking now is weekly testing will be nearly impossible if every company 100 or more is doing it. Testing centers won’t really be able to keep up with like 60 million people testing every week. Every 2 weeks may be more logical
You don't have to get vaccinated. You can be tested every week. The choice is yours if you work for one of these employers. Or you can go to work for an employer who has 99 employees or less. We're trying to get a handle on a pandemic. Drastic times call for drastic measures.
But is it really "drastic times"?
Look at the death rates. Overall, about 650,000 people have reportedly died from or with COVID in about 20 months, and that is little more than 1 in 500 U.S. residents. Moreover, the death rate is now down to about 1,000 deaths per day, and in some states, the deaths have gone WAY down, and in some counties, it is little more than a blip. (I live in a county of slightly more than 30,000 people with an average age of 53.0 years, and we have had a total of only 30 deaths attributed to COVID.) Now, surely, as most COVID deaths are in those over 70, at least some of those people who died "from COVID" would have died anyway within the past 20 months.
So, taking the above into consideration -- and the fact that the 1918 flu pandemic was MUCH worse and yet the U.S. and the rest of the world recovered "naturally" from that even without a vaccine -- WHY are so many people treating this as if it was the Black Death (1346-1353) in which 75-200 million people died out of a world population of about 400 million? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estima...rld_population
Yes, it is sad when people die, but the fact is that people die more from other diseases than they currently do from COVID*-- so why are drastic measures being proposed, when there is now an average of "only" 20 deaths per state per day?
Of course, some will say that you don't catch cancer or heart disease from other people, and of course that is TRUE (except possibly from secondhand tobacco smoke), but if people can become infected from vaccinated people, also, why the push to get everyone vaccinated when the vaccines themselves might be dangerous to some people?

(30 deaths in a county of slightly more than 30,000 people with an average age of 53.0 years.) Now, surely, as most COVID deaths are in those over 70, at least a good proportion of those whose deaths were classified as "COVID deaths" would have died anyway within the past 19 months.

Or tested. They can be tested in lieu of the vaccine. There will be no forced shots for private businesses.
Why should a free people submit to testing? Especially if you are not sick?
