Because theirs alternatives to taking the vaccine, like exercise and a good diet. Why isn't there and exercise mandate or a diet mandate? It sounds stupid maybe to you, but to me if they are allowed to mandate vaccines, they should be allowed to say 'your diet isn't the best and you're likely to get sick and die. You can't work here unless you exercise' which honestly is more reasonable to me than mandating a vaccine. The CDC has guidelines for health and exercise, why isn't that being pushed as hard as mask? We know your diet has a bigger impact on covid than a mask, which to properly use you need to do a test BTW. I've worked with N-95 mask before corona and not everyone can wear them. We literally had to taking a breathing test, that was very weird to do in all honesty. People failed it often.

None of these claims sound reasonable, so I'd like to ask for some solid peer reviewed sources backing those.
Here I'll provide them:

This is about exercise and illnesses:

https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/007165.htm

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905589/

Ive personally practiced this. I'm open to anyone who has exercised while sick to give their opinion if exercise helped them. The white blood cell count goes up.

I do not need to provide the diets effect on health. Just imagine eating the healthiest food you can think of and imagine eating lead. You can guess the effects (lead makes you blind i believe).

This is the cdcs exercise reccomendations:

And here is the requirements by OSHA for people who use PPE. Its a fit test:

If I missed anything you would need to be more specific
