False dichotomy. Systems of reasons affect decisions.

E.g. I'm willing to add a fully vaccinated office to my risk profile, but how do I get there? Even if I could trust everyone in the office was vaccinated (I can't), public transit was my only option before. Will the company send me a taxi with a vaccinated driver? Of course not.

Companies are asking people to take unnecessary risk for questionable speculative gain and burdening employees with figuring out (and paying for) how to do it safely.

You can't. The courts are blocking vaccine mandates. Ergo you are indeed being asked to take a risk on behalf of your employers in exchange for absolutely nothing. I thought by now we would at least have required electronically verified vaccination status to fly but we can't even manage that so it seems the workplace is a lost cause.
I wonder if we'll end up with something like smoking and non-smoking sections. E.g. this building is for vaccinated and that building is for unvaccinated.
I hope that dystopian reality never comes to pass, there’s enough social conflict in this world as it is without artificially inventing more categories of “reasons to hate our fellow human beings”.
Approximately known as red and blue states at this point, no?
