Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?

Post by Transition9er2 »

“Federal government to require vaccinations for all federal public servants, air and train passengers.”

As reported by Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Transport Minister Omar Alghabra - employees who choose NOT to get the vaccine run the risk of losing their jobs.

I have just lost the ability to make a “personal choice” on how I treat my body. Comply with the government, or lose your job. What in the actual FU*K is happening to this country?

Am I the only one that thinks this is incredibly disgusting?

Do you want a choice or a choice without consequences?

Yeah, that's going a bit too far... Especially for a relatively new vaccine...

I wonder how many pro maskers are upset about mandatory vaccines?

Those who shrugged their shoulders and said it’s just a mask, no big deal… first it’s mandatory masks, then mandatory vaccines, one can only guess what next.

This conversation is even better on the Dino forum.

The comparison to the final solution was thrown out there on the first page :roll:

An idea they came up with at a certain conference in Wannsee, Germany in 1942.

Take the vaccine, get your job, and shut the @#$! up

OR

Don't take the vaccine, find a new job, and shut the @#$! up.

Works for me as long as the Crown Corps are complying before pax are required to comply.

It will take forever to get it implemented and PSAC will fight it hard but I’m fine with it being used as a scare tactic to motivate the fence sitters, etc.

Do you think the vaccine is going to end this virus? If so I have some Arizona beach front property to sell you!

A bunch of people just got the coof on a cruise ship and guess what? All were vaccinated.

My guess will be mandatory flu vaccine. In fact they might just roll covid and the flu vax into one if that’s possible. But that seems like a reasonable next step. If you look at flu and covid deaths in the age group that can’t get vaccinated, flu deaths are on par or even higher. So it’s only reasonable if our risk tolerance for covid requires mandatory vaccines, the flu shot will follow…

So I see the progression as vaccine gets approved for under 12, then it becomes mandatory for school kids, then next the flu vaccine becomes also mandatory for everyone. Because why not? Then what’s next after that?

I was chatting with a manager who was waiting to get onto a flight. They have been discussing this scenario for the better part of a year. What happens if the vaccines become mandatory. Basically he said, “Bottom line nobody’s going to loose their job for not getting vaccinated.” Then I said,” so they’ll keep flying ?” He looked at me and said,” we have 600 pilots on layoff status that would be willing to step in.”
They can’t tailor pairings because it won’t respect seniority, so more than likely they would offer a “special LOA “ with conditions that you’ll be offline for a specific duration and there’s talks with the government that those willing to stand up for their freedoms can qualify for EI.

That would be a win win for both sides.

Nope I’m of the freedom of choice group and think these new vaccines are more of a placebo than anything.

Funny story (not) about covid-19 and the vaccines.
I don't know anyone who was hospitalized with covid -19.
I do know 4 people who were hospitalized after getting the " vaccine:"
I'm sure it's just a coincidence , or is it?
