    It gives them the legal clearance to mandate any hazard, not just work-related hazards. It gives them the legal clearance to address your habits outside of work, not just at work.

I mean, this happens already in essence anyway from what I understand.

If your habits outside of work endanger others while you are at work we already police that. From my point of view showing up to work at the lumber yard or dock or office without a vaccine in your bloodstream is functionally the functionally same as showing up with an intoxicant in it.

And we also have mandated vaccines for students all the way up into college.

Of course there's no way any of this could be dealt with in a nuanced manner that acknowledges that we are in a once in a century health crisis that needs to be handled as such.

We are committed to the longest slowest costliest most lethal path forward. I don't know why I bother engaging on any health related topics anymore. The open and cheerful mercenary nature we approach it with makes me too disheartened.
