Amazon postpones return to office until January 2022

I love that the conversation is always around personal "bodily autonomy" despite the fact that your decision to not get vaccinated affects every single other person with whom you come into contact.

Freedom of speech doesn't cover shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theatre.

Personal liberty at the expense of the liberty of others is a sick joke, and to pretend that the vaccine conversation is anything else is hysterically naive.

People do have an autonomous choice: get your shot, or find another way to stop endangering those around you.

First, you can yell fire in a crowded theatre. What if there really is a fire?

Alcohol kills plenty of people each year, and often it’s not the drinker. Should we ban alcohol? (I hear you, but employers can ban drinking at work!) Sure, but the equivalent would be forcing someone to not drink outside of work. After all, can you turn the vaccine off when you leave the office?

I’m fine with an employer mandating masks, they can be removed after your shift.
