I know the drug companies are protected from lawsuits, but what about your job.
If they force the jab and we find out some long term side effect, has your company that forced it effectively become sue-able?

I would also assume that anyone that gets the jab for work could go on short-term disability until the initial side effects go away?

Thoughts?

PS: I have the shots but know others that don't want (or need) them.

PS: I know you can sue for anything…. My real question is if the company that forces it has accepted the liability for side effects.

I had a fever and chills for 4 hours. Lawsuit worthy.

Are you really being forced if you can choose to quit?

No. It's why a lawsuit would be tossed.

I'm going to sue my own LLC for this. I will show myself whose boss.

Not directed at the op, but I'm quite surprised at how many free market, right to work, anti-union types that think you should be able to sue employers for vaccine mandates.

Nobody is being forced. They are not indentured servants and can walk away if it really offends them. Now that it's fda approved corporations are determining it's better for their bottom line to have a vaccinated work force.

Short term disability for 8-12 hours? Is that a real question?

There is no FDA approved vaccine available in the US. Comirnaty is not available in the US, just the EUA Phizer/BioNTech version.

Yep, we got "libertarians" all over the place who think someone should be paying their unnecessary hospital tabs.

You're free to quit and work for yourself or any other company with less than what 100 employees? Much freedom. Such liberty.

Unless of course the president or some other executive mandates something even more restrictive. But we'd have people here defending that too.

We don't live in a fully capitalist private society and big companies and big government have been in bed in complete collaboration for awhile now.

Are the companies putting this in place due to pressure from the government and the CDC? In a lot of ways, yes.

The federal government is trying to get big tech (youtube, facebook, google, twitter) etc. to "stop misinformation" and "listen to the science."



"We're following CDC guidance."

No worries dude. Let's fully privatize all hospitals. Let's get rid of medicare, medicaid, allow hospitals to reject illegals etc.

Not sure about the accuracy of the statement, but I think he's saying that Comirnatyr is not the vaccine that you get right now at CVS when you get the Pfizer shot.

To answer the OP, there is no way a lawsuit would be effective. All of our institutions are so pro vaccines, any lawsuit would get tossed immediately. Even if people were dropping dead left and right (I'm not saying they are, calm down), there would be so much denial that a lawsuit would still result in nada.

I would think you would neee to have side effects for a week before short term disability would kick in. Maybe two weeks.

For everyone that says "you are free to quit, so you are not being forced"

Let me expand the question then.
Could a company force all of its employees to be on birth control?

You can quit, so it is allowed?!?

I don't think that is a good comparison. Getting pregnant isn't contagious

You must not have worked many places with a large group of young female employees. The act of getting pregnant isn't contagious but baby fever sure as hell is. It's crazy how many examples over the years I have seen of 1 woman getting pregnant and the next thing you know 3-4 of her coworkers are pregnant too. Have 2 cousins that are nurses and both of them have pics of 5-6 of the nurses on their floor all being pregnant at the same time. It is a very odd phenomenon.

Again, you are comparing things that are very clearly legal vs. illegal.

Why are men so focused on analogies that only effect women? Just like the previously suggested rape, discrimination is also illegal for obvious reasons. Good thing sitting next to someone can't get you pregnant. Are you guys purposefully obtuse or just don't understand the differences?

Legality is a poor measure of morality,and much of what is currently considered "legal" by covidians is clearly outside of the allowances of the Constitution. Just because the court hasn't ruled on something yet doesn't mean it's all on the level.

The question posted by the OP was about the law, so using the law to answer is pretty much the only way to do it properly.

Vaccine mandates have been upheld by the Supreme Court for over 100 years. Please explain what in the constitution SCOTUS has got wrong.

ETA I'm against mandates. I just understand the law and am OK applying it.

Then you should also know that medical and religious exemptions are necessary (in order to avoid medical / religious discrimination) and that natural immunity has precedent as an exemption, too.

The specifics of each policy would matter.

And that is all a massive concession toward 'the way things work' as opposed to the structure and intent our constitution established. Incremental *******ization has gotten us well beyond the limits of anything that should be considered reasonable.

I understand all of it. None of it is relevant to the question asked.

You and others want this board to be what it's not and try and skew answers to a question to prove your silly points.

I can't speak for others, but you clearly don't know what I'd like seen done to this board.

My actual question is if the business that implemented a policy is accepting liability for anything negative that comes from that policy. The [overreaching] US Gov policy has 2 options… shot or weekly test.
