POLL: Vaccine mandates coercion

Too early? This poll will never be timely, because no one should never be made to chose between their livelihood and making their own health related decisions.

It might be more helpful for everyone to admit the flaws that led to this sentiment of helplessness,

This outcome was avoidable if everyone stuck together in solidarity, if employees openly discussed the matter, even to a fraction of the extent of the promotion of the vaccines. Solidarity, an important part of living in society in crucial times, merely transformed into a buzz-word overused by unions who showed anything but that when push comes to shove.

Our shared values, namely freedom, are what makes solidarity worthwhile, the more individual aspects of our lives are too specific to succinate such broad recognition of importance. Yet, even freedom seems not to appeal to the masses as it ought to be, but who does that fear serves really?

The poll question is for those who where coerced into vaccination against their will, either because they did not want the vaccine or were not ready at the time, but nevertheless forced their hand. You can answer the poll below on twitter.

For those who where coerced to vaccinate due to the federal vaccine mandate:

If your work experience enabled you to turn around and find another job with similar pay and benefits, would you have succumbed to the pressure to take the vaccine?

Further, many considerations exist around this question.

Without consideration of those who made a willful choice before mandates came in, if the majority succumbed to pressure, does that make it acceptable for them to expect the same from the remainder who did not?

Are those who succumbed to the pressure sympathetic to their colleagues who did not?

Is there an "I caved in so you should too" sentiment? Or an "it’s unfair to those who did it to keep their jobs" sentiment?

What about bosses that saw their subalterns show more courage than they possess themselves? Could it affect the way they see their employees? Would they see themselves under a different light?

Those who did not want the vaccine certainly could not have offended anyone by refusing it? What about those whose not-so personal choice was instrumentalized as additional pressure on the former? What implications would this have on the work climate should all this people eventually work together again?
