One of the physical therapist I was seeing said that he had refused the vaccine, and I refused to make any more appointments with him.
Good. I hope all of his clients react like that.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Wow, sj. You would think it would be required by his employer. My medical offices wouldn't let me come in to do work until I had my vaccine, because they were concerned for my exposure. All the doctors and medical staff I know are vaccinated.

And, of course, the University I work at has been informed that we cannot require the vaccine for either students or faculty/staff. Again, Texas.

Yeah, even Hopkins isn't requiring staff be vaccinated. (At least they weren't when the vaccines started rolling out.) Which i really don't get because they do require staff get flu vaccines.

As I understand it, employers like mine don't feel soild requring this vax like they do others because it's only been approved on an emergency basis. When that status changes, my employer has indicated they may be more open to requiring it.
I'm so sorry, askye.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Our HR dept has said that they cannot require us to get vaccinated but they have the right to ask if we have been. Not sure what that means, probably nothing until the safety requirements for being on site are relaxed.
IJWTS I am not enjoying today from a work perspective. Too many people expecting me to do too much work.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.
askye, what a wretched mess. I'm terribly sorry.
Mostly I want to whap them over the head until they see reason or my arm gets tired, but I've managed to move a couple of people to "Hmmm" status with "International travel was a big part of your job before this, and you're an advocate for the right of countries to control their borders - if your employer needs to send you somewhere that requires proof of vaccination before entry, how are you thinking you'll handle that?"
I am slightly growly on my own behalf today: the clinic at the high school has appointments for this weekend, and I don't qualify until next week. It's probably better that Jim and I stagger it this way so one of us is fully functional.

What is even happening?
As I understand it, employers like mine don't feel soild requring this vax like they do others because it's only been approved on an emergency basis. When that status changes, my employer has indicated they may be more open to requiring it.
I've been wondering about that Sparky. Even though I think everyone should have to get it, I sort of understand why places aren't requiring it (although I'm less understanding about healthcare providers). Since it's only EUA and not FDA-approved, I'm not sure any court would uphold a mandate.
