Am I the only one okay with having Google and Facebook mandate employees get vaccinated (if they don't have any health issues or other reasonable reason) but not okay with the government enforcing it to public employees?

Government employees have the option to be regularly tested or to find another job. No issue here

I don't see a vaccination mandate for the govt. They are telling employees to either get vaccinated or just get regular tests. People still have the option to not get vaccinated if they don't want to. This actually helps to keep the unvaccinated safer by catching folks that get sick hopefully before they have a chance to spread too much. I don't have a problem with this approach for govt or private companies.

Also, yes it's a government job but these people aren't just entitled to it and I'm sure there are other conditions of employment that they are subject to and follow.

I don’t understand why you’d draw a distinction from a private employer and the government.

Hahaha I wish it was France or even Russia.

I don’t see the difference. Both are employers creating a requirement for employment. There are plenty of employment requirements already in place for public sector employees

I’m much more ok with the government telling its employees to get the vax or get out. Government, especially anyone in political operations (elected through staffers) should be held to the highest standards in society. See recent photo of a bunch of congress people and their staff on a junket flight without masks while society at large has different rules.

Employees have the choice to get vaccinated, get regular tests, or get a new job. Whether it’s a federal employer, state employer, or a private company, it doesn’t really change the dynamic in my mind. It’s not the government forcing people to get the vaccine, it’s an employer forcing people to choose one of three options.

To attend public school, you need to show proof of certain vaccinations. To apply for your green card, you need to show proof of vaccinations. Not much different…

You're not the only one, but it's cognitively dissonant and worth further self-reflection.

Folks, why is this Boston Bowl so quiet (relatively speaking)? Is our community so small that we think there’s no anonymity to our posts? Are we so busy juggling (with Covid making it worse) that there’s no time for this? Or are we blissfully happy so not much to question or comment on? I learn much from the conversations in other Bowls and think Boston wisdom would be good to read too.

2. Desantis over Trump for 2024. Desantis has unmatched support. Trump politicians are still losing & so will he
