The workplace is already safe and forcing them to get vaccinated or lose their jobs will be easy for the Union lawyers to refute in court.Quote:

Well, in a weird twisty way ... he's kind of right ... in fact it's pretty bad in Ontario. My wife was wrongfully dismissed (her boss was telling her to do treatments on a patient just to make more money, but it was going to damage the patient's skin, which my wife could have been held liable for) ... we lodged a complaint with the government. They found that there was a case of wrongful dismissal, and no notice or severance was paid. They sent her employer letters, fines, etc ... the employer simply did not respond to anything.Quote:

So basically the law has no bite ... maybe we could have gone to court ... but no lawyer wanted to do that for 2 weeks severance pay, given she had only been working for the company for 8 months or so.
be interesting to see what will happen when due to 'Mandatory' vaccination...something like this happens !!

According to New Zealand health officials, a woman died after she was administered the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine.
The country's health ministry said an independent COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring board had concluded that the woman’s death was due to myocarditis which is a rare side effect of the Pfizer vaccine.
The health ministry said: "This is the first case in New Zealand where a death in the days following vaccination has been linked to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine."
Yeah really, I wonder if theyt were served a notice of liability prior?Quote:

However the vaccine is degrading quickly in its efficacy in preventing you from of contracting the virus, down to 35% since it's initial 95%.
Stats say in Ont, for example, that 24% of those testing positive now are fully vaxxed and that number is climbing.
And it's beginning to fail in prevent getting you from being very sick with the virus again ( 60% of patients in the Hosptials in Isreal were fully vaxxed) These more transmittable variants appear to overwhelm the efficacy of the vaccine especially in those with comorbidity issues.
Ergo the need for a Booster shot soon.
I think there's a number of things to consider:Quote:

- there's some people who cannot take the vaccine for medical reasons (ex. have a blood clotting disorder), and they have a right to protection. If there's an increased risk because an unvaccinated person is coughing and spewing the virus everywhere (because they are more severely ill) ... then that person who wants to, but cannot get the vaccine ... is in a predicament.
That's the only real angles I can see ... and by the way, I am vaccinated, but I do understand people's reservations for not getting the vaccine because it was likely not sufficiently tested. I do not believe the conspiracy theories though ... they are not well thought out at all, in my opinion.
I still haven't got an answer to what fully vaxxed people are afraid of...you trust the vaccine don't you ??
In a room full of vaccinated people and one unvaccinated...who's at risk ?
You can't get it from him and he can't get it from you ...
