Many people have had adverse effects to the vaccine, and no one should be forced to put this risky vaccine in their body with the threat of their job on the line. And I believe they are being completely rational in not taking the vaccine.
And if adverse effects were more common with the COVID vaccines than any other, or, indeed, if the serious side effects weren’t happening at an extremely low rate, that might actually mean something.
Ok. So you admit there are some adverse health effects in some number of people. What's the chance of getting an adverse health effect from the vaccine if you don't take it? Zero risk. That sounds better to me than 'some risk'. So, this actually does mean something. Yes, some risk is inferior to no risk, when we are talking about nurses who already have significant immunity from natural immunity. Why take that extra risk, no matter how small it may be, when it's entirely unnecessary? Go along to get along? Just do it to prove to the people that you deserve your job, when you've been risking your health throughout the pandemic, taking care of covid patients all the way through, while you were hailed as a hero on the news, daily, but now are being smeared as the villains of the story? Just give in to authoritarianism because you don't want people to think you're dumb or anti-vaxx?
