When is the last time you had a conversation with someone you disagreed with cordially?

Want to have one now?

How do you feel about the federal government mandating all workers to get vaccinated?

I’m happy to have a cordial conversation. I enjoy hearing from people who can respectfully disagree.

I think the mandate is despicable. It is a tyrannical move that will backfire in the long run as it is confirming the belief that many people who don’t wish to take the vaccine have - that the government just wants control. It’s equivalent to a parent saying “Because I said so…”

There’s too much poor messaging, and do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do.

Yes, I kind of regret getting my vaccinations at this point. I think I probably already had gotten Covid in January 2020 and I am a healthy 30 year old. So, probably no boosters for me. 🤣

Vaccination is necessary for the safety and health of the population. As a teacher I care about my students emotionally, physically and academically. If we are not vaccinated how are we protecting our students and providing a learning none restrictive learning environment? And How are we protecting ourselves?

I think vaccination has been shown to be a great help, especially for those at high risk of negative outcomes as a result of getting covid (especially those in poor health and elderly).

It hasn't been proven to be necessary for those who've had Covid and retain natural protection, nor has it been demonstrated to be necessary for children, who are not at high risk.

I'm vaccinated, but I haven't been convinced that the vaccine is the cure all. Especially as we're seeing the positive benefits of the vaccine decline over time, but natural immunity retain.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
