Even for people with a medical exemption? I know of a company that is firing people even when they have submitted a letter from an MD stating the person is not a candidate for the vaccine due to the person's medical history - which was explained in the letter. Fortunately the person can afford to leave the job, but I feel sorry for people who feel like they have to risk their health to keep their job. And the person isn't an anti-vaxxer.

And anyone who doesn’t realize what is happening, and what is wrong with it either just doesn’t care(aka supports communism)or is mentally retarded.
Look at Australia who knew of all places how government would crack down (and crack heads) for those that protest. There is only one thing stopping that in the U.S.A and the left have been after that amendment for years.

As far as I know, no one has held anyone down and injected them with a vaccine they did not want. Its your 'freedom' to reject it just like its business owners freedom to require it for their employees/patrons. Its totally fair and legal as long as the same standard is applied to everyone.

Maybe you don't but the guy running the country does and he has the power to make it happen.
Which he did by EO.

The best way to fight back is to form a political group now, and to vote in a bloc. 20-30% of us unvaccinated, voting in a bloc, can sway an election.

And the "approval" for the unavailable product is baloney anyway....purely politically driven. It could never be approved based on safety or effectiveness.

Everything coming from Biden's federal government is a lie.

What happened to the freedom and standing up to what we believe.
We are weakened by money. It can cause someone to do things that they don't believe in because this capitalistic society doesn't allow you to fight.

I'm glad you trust the FDA. You probably lead a very blessed life.
