While I think the mandate is unconstitutional AND an admission that the administration failed to persuade enough Americans to get vaccinated; since they've decided to go that route, why not take it a step further: If you are fired for lack of compliance, you are ineligible for any federal or state assistance.
I have always supported wearing N95+++ masks, and pulling the stops to protect the elderly and vulnerable (unlike the governor, who sent nursing home patients to the slaughter).
I did mention they already Covid very quickly after the initial posting, or I may have just edited and put brackets around it. I made several other edits that weren't related to that later on.

I was at a football game last night talking about this and universally the people I spoke with (and all of them already had Covid) said they would not take the vaccine and just wait be fired or simply close their business.
..
Your quote contains of my quote that they had Covid already. My last edit was at :07, your post was at :43.

I despise this move. I work as a nurse at a large, nationally-recognized hospital. I’m fully vaccinated, as are about 80 percent of my colleagues at the system I work for. I will encourage people to get the vaccine, but there’s still 20 percent that won’t get it. Almost every single bed at my hospital is full and we already don’t have enough staff to provide SAFE care half the time. If my hospital just loses a few nurses because of this policy, our staffing would be royally fucked, which would lead to worse care for everyone. Do I agree that healthcare workers who decline the vaccine are irresponsible? For the most part, yes. However, regardless of their consequences for leaving, it still leaves the rest of us in a very bad spot.

I wrote the Covid policy at work and installed HEPA filters, and temporary floor to ceiling room dividers. My co-workers are all vaccinated, but it was, and never will be mandated.

Genius. I guess your risk management services will be in great demand, when companies close up because of worker shortages.
There's already a worker shortage, and there are plenty of job openings. If vaccine mandates further exasperate that reality, then so be it. I'm not sure I'd want to hire someone who isn't smart enough to take a vaccine that will protect themselves and those around them.

I have a friend that is nurse, she never had Covid that she knows of, but the PPE has protected her. I doubt she is threat to anyone PPE on.

Or, people will feel safer and want to work. Most of the people that I know were not working are concerned of the high percentage of unvaccinated in their workplace.
