A Land of Free Choice

Vaccine Shot or Pink Slip.  My employer falls under the federal mandate, so it will be interesting to see what my vaccine reluctant co-workers choose?

Depends a lot on how they choose to frame the issue.

Please expand on that.

People want to separate health care policy from individual vaccinations. You hear it when people say, I am not anti vax, I am anti mandate.

This is a style of argument that people make a lot. What happens is people are whipsawed between the general and specific. Does it make sense in this case? Should vaccines have their own policy? Or is vaccine policy part of a general policy in dealing with the pandemic?

Well in this case they made it pretty simple.

If you want to keep getting a pay check, go get the shot(s).

When people talk about force, I always think about Malcolm McDowell forced to watch violent movies in "The Clockwork Orange". I don't think that happens much in real life, however.

Agreed...

Most of us choose our lives...

Often though many people insist that they "were forced" into their current circumstances. (ie victims)

I think of politicians who defend bad decisions they make by claiming they had no choice.
