It's trivial to de-escalate for WFH companies at least; We agreed last century that forced medical treatment was wrong. Don't do that and people can hold whatever opinions they like about the vaccine individually.

Expecting that your ideological opponents to completely back down in order to de-escalate is not de-escalation. De-escalation is incremental and generally done in small lock-steps, with all parties relaxing their postures, not by asserting polarizing and simplistic absolutes and expecting to "win". What you wrote above is part of the dynamic that prevents de-escalation.

And yet require vaccines for large part of life pre-covid with no prior complaints.

So requiring the MMR vaccine for preschoolers is like Unit 731?
