@Inspire,

I empathize with you with regards to the economic instability Covid has had on you as well as millions of other people but being set against the very tool that could help reduce that instability and return us all to a more normal and stable life really isn't helping.

It's like voicing a concern about how dehydrated you are, being offered water, refusing it and then continuing to voice concerns about being dehydrated...

I'm not sure what else you're looking for unless its a miracle. :(

Some people unfortunately cannot be vaccinated due to allergies etc, which makes it even more important for all those who can be, to get it.

It seems that more and more employers are looking to mandate vaccines for their employees, because not being vaccinated (while a personal choice) is something that unfortunately doesn't just impact you, it impacts the health & safety of those around you as well.

In addition to that, cases & illness from Covid now seems to be mostly in unvaccinated people which means the virus still has room to spread and mutate, and perhaps even in such a way that's more effective against the vaccines we have (as seen with this delta variant).

Awful simile.

You're telling me I'm sick & that sunshine is bad for me.

So how will the unvaccinated pay their bills? Are they simple meant to perish for refusal?

I've asked this prior.

Here there's more case of " Covid " from people that have had the " jab ".

I've just read a new Covid variant has been detected and it's worse than Delta :O Scary stuff!

NZ Herald: Covid 19 Delta outbreak: New variant detected in New Zealand 'worse than Delta'.

@Inspire, it's not that bad of simile. You're frustrated with the past 18+ months (and legitimately so!) while simultaneously not in support of the very thing that helps us return to normal / reducing the threat of a virus to us. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from.

In regards to people who choose to not be vaccinated, that's obviously their choice but choices aren't free of consequences. Our choices and actions have consequences, as is the case with everything, Covid and vaccines aside. If employers are opting to mandate vaccines for their staff, that's their decision to make (depending on the legality of it).

I think I've asked this before, but don't think I got an answer, if you're against the current situation and also against getting vaccinated (the way out of the current situation)... what is the way out then if you take vaccines away? Just let everything be, allow continued spread amongst unvaccinated people, further mutations resulting in more serious variants (as Dong has mentioned above), pushing us backwards, overwhelming ICU and healthcare systems across the world which will inevitably result in strict measures once again?

Where's "here" for you? (You can be as general as you want). So far, whether it be the US, UK, Canada, the vast majority of new cases and ICU admissions are of either unvaccinated or partially vaccinated with a much lesser amount of 'breakthrough' cases from those who are fully vaccinated which categorically shows the vaccines are working.

A consequence is punishment for a crime or action.

I'm not a criminal.

Where are the jobs for the unvaccinated?

Up to the individual.

If One wishes to be vaccinated & wear a mask .. do so.

If not, be as the Creator intended you to be.

It might be difficult to get certain jobs in the future if you dont get vaccinated because you might endanger other peoples lives.
So what is done with the unvaccinated if they aren't allowed to work?

Where do they go & what do they do each day?

Just get vaccinated bro. And then all your problems will be solved. And by the way, the vaccine wont hurt you.
