My job forced me, again I explained and like many other in tech I even worked from home. That still didn’t stop the mandates. And you’re still ignoring the many others that have lost their jobs. NY was forced to reinstate police officers recently.

Also you do realize you’re contradicting yourself? You’re saying nobody forced anything but if you want to live in society you must follow the rules. There were no laws forcing me, it was my desire to keep my job. My job created the mandate, not society.

Where is the contradiction?

Regarding your new argument, which doesn't seem to be pointing out a perceived contradiction in any interpretation I can make of it, your job created the requirement because society said it didn't want age discrimination in employment. If your employer forced only older employees to get the vaccine in order to keep its insurance costs low, there would have been lawsuits. Forcing all employees to get vaccinated has well-established legal precedent and has the benefit of reducing insurance costs slightly more.

If you read my post again I point out the contradiction. Read it again.

Yea I’m not sure my job has many older people, nor would they care about their insurance costs.
