Good luck with that. How many boosters will be too many for you? We all have our limits and that includes the people you work with and those that you socialize with.

If they refuse to get the 4th booster, do you want to see them fired? Will you stop inviting them to happy hour at your house?

Training new people and the time it takes for them to get familiar with company procedures and environment cost money.

Sorry, but I have no idea what your point is or what you're trying to say.

I expect to get a yearly COVID shot just like I get a yearly flu shot. I expect those around me to do the same - especially since I found my healthy, young best friend dead from the flu during the 2017-18 flu season (the worst in recent memory).

Because I am immunocompromised, the vaccines have less impact on protecting me so I rely on those around me to mitigate risk. I had a *very* mild breakthrough flu 3 weeks ago and I still am having trouble breathing and cough so much my chest aches.

My workplace will let anyone go who is eligible but has not gotten the covid booster next week. We had minimal impact to the previous decision to let anyone go who was not fully vaccinated by the end of last summer. We also require a flu vaccine, and I expect will require a yearly covid vaccine in the future.



As I continue to grow my career, I will prioritize employers with similar plans.

And of course I wouldn't remain friends with someone who does not consider the health of those around them. How can you refuse to do everything possible to mitigate risk to high risk friends and expect to remain friends?

I assume you never leave your house.

What a horrible way to live.

Vaccinated, masked and test regularly? Sounds like your blind faith in the vaccine is not strong enough to preclude the last two, which can be done without a vaccine.

You want the world to bow at your feet. Do everything YOU demand.

We get it.

And now, the Marxists are saying it. Flip floppers.

I also wonder what's next. Mandatory flu shots? Vaccine check for disease du juor status is up to date? Make sure all women are taking BC because the company doesn't employ preggers?

People are so short sighted. They are clueless. And willingly so because they want to claim superiority.

Wait till the next vaccine mandate is a shot that they cannot get. Will they be saying, oh, I'm so happy I got fired since I believe in vaccine mandates. So glad I just lost my house.

People are willingly stupid these days.
