The company needs to require vaccines for all employees wanting to continue employment with the company. The only exceptions should be due to medical, religious, or disability reasons. This is a public health issue and a safety issue for the workplace.

The world always needs sheep.
Actually it is the case if you don’t get the vaccine you would be fired even working from home. To keep your job period would you get the vaccine. If the answer is yes you are a big phony.
"If by getting the vaccine you could work from home everyday would you do it?" . . that makes ZERO sense. If you're working from home, why would you need the vaccine to protect others at work? If anything, they should require the vaccine to come to the office, not to work from home. Let me guess . . . you're actually Fauci, aren't you?
I identify as vaccinated...
Honestly, at this point if you don’t get the shot that’s all you boo. With them being readily available, NOW we can talk about personal responsibility. I gladly got mine and if you get Covid and end up on a ventilator that’s your life honey. I won’t be sad or say a prayer. YOU made that decision. Don’t think it won’t get you, that Covid little F is insane. I’ve known healthy 20-30-40 year olds end up in the hospital. A sheriff who worked out and was healthy is fighting an 8 month battle with it. Lost over half his ability to use his own lungs. Insane.
Your choice. I will wave to you in the unemployment line as I drive around in my fancy car.
A lot of people don’t want vaccines since it was a rushed vaccine that we still don’t know the long term effects of. Blindly trusting our corrupt government by sticking a vaccine in my arm that hasn’t been studied long enough is a crazy idea.
Does anyone else think that some people are not taking the vaccine because they want to continue to work from home. It is like sabotaging the effort to bring back normalcy, solely for their own selfish agendas.

Get out of the company you mo––n. We don’t need people like you dragging things down
I do not think it is mistrust. You have to be careful. Say you had a sales rep come to you and offer a new valve for your plant? You ask is it qualified, is it a new design, any field history and any legal liability if it goes wrong? If the sales rep say no to all of these questions then you show them the door as it would never pass a risk assessment.
The injections being offered on a voluntary basis answer no to all those questions too. No one really knows what the long term effects will be. Try getting a doctor to prescribe one of the injections on offer, they wont as it would mean liability. You lose your health insurance because of a layoff and suffer as a result of this injection you are in a difficult place because it was used under emergency use.

People say it is for public health etc. That argument works both ways as imagine the public health disaster if long term effects of the injections affect large swaths of the population.
If the company mandates it I am sure it will get very complicated legally. You would probably have to sign a legal waver to protect the company from claims. They would be far better adopting a policy of don't ask and don't tell.
There are a lot of very clever people at our company already committed, had the injections and good luck to them. There is risk both ways and each decision should be respected. Remember the injections only claim you have a better chance of recovery. You can still catch it and transmit it. Also, you should all read about pathogenic priming which was the big concern when mrna drugs were being developed years ago and the FDA would not approve them.
There is a segment society that is mistrustful of everyone around them. Wether it's vaccines or immigrants they have a very pessimistic outlook. They do not even trust their neighbors and think the government is out to get them. 20 years of Fox will do that.
So now Pfizer is recommending that people get another shot a year after the first set. And then the possibility as a booster every subsequent year.
How does that play into the original proposal of this thread.......are you proposing that Oxy ensure people get the vaccine every year? Will Moderna, J&J, etc have different or same proposals as Pfizer? As an analogy, many people would choose not to get the annual flu shot while some did; Oxy did not require it.
I think you people have finally gone just too far. Get the darn vaccine and cooperate for the first time in your life. Why are you being so immature.
If by getting the vaccine you could work from home everyday would you do it?
Would be illegal for OXY to require these shots. Not true vaccines but are being marketed as such and are experimental. Read the fine print of what you sign when you get these shots. This actually violates the Nuremburg Code. Many lawyers are lining up to fight this.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. THIS IS ORWELLIAN. THESE VACCINES ARE UNDER EU AND ARE EXPERIMENTAL!
Correction to previous post.
By the way they say that more democrats are getting the vaccine than republicans. It is becoming a political issue just like the masks.
See response to following
Is under Emergency Use Authorization, not full FDA approval
(It has been tested on half of the adult population now. Do you think that the FDA is not going to give full approval)
Has not been shown to increase the immunity period to be longer than for people who already recovered from the virus.
(The immunity it has demonstrated is quoted for the time period from the start of vaccinations until now. It adds one more day for every day. I don’t think you want the virus at all just to get immunity. You could die or have long lasting problems)
Has not been studied for long–term side effects
Is the first widespread use of mRNA vaccine technology, a technology that can make your cells produce any protein. This technology could cure cancer or create autoimmune diseases – no one knows for sure. https://ccr.cancer.gov/news/article/a–novel–mrna–modification–may–impact–gene–expression
( nothing is risk free but walking around in society where half of the people could be carriers is more of a risk than the vaccine)
By the way they say that more democrats are getting the vaccine than republicans. It is becoming a policy level issue just like the masks.
We truly are living within the intersection of Orwell, Kafka and Pavlov.
I got the vaccine, but if others don't want to that is up to them. Now with that said I think those that have not got the shot should have to continue to wear mask. Those that have got the vaccine should be able to walk around and work without the mask. That in itself is worth getting the shot or shots.
It's very self-centered to try to force people to get a vaccine that:
- Is under Emergency Use Authorization, not full FDA approval
- Has not been shown to increase the immunity period to be longer than for people who already recovered from the virus
- Has not been studied for long-term side effects
- Is the first widespread use of mRNA vaccine technology, a technology that can make your cells produce any protein. This technology could cure cancer or create autoimmune diseases - no one knows for sure. https://ccr.cancer.gov/news/article/a-novel-mrna-modification-may-impact-gene-expression
You can still get the virus and spread it to someone else even if you have been vaccinated. The people who have not been vaccinated will spread it amongst themselves. It is a public health issue that everyone needs to take ownership of. Society is becoming more and more self–centered. If you don’t do it for people in general get vaccinated for the company.
If you have been vaccinated then why do you care if others have? There is a very, very low chance that you will get COVID from f you have been vaccinated. Even without the vaccine there is a very, very low chance that you will catch it.
