Good. Forcing medical procedures onto people is a violation of basic human rights. And no, I don’t buy the argument that they “weren’t forced to because they can quit”.

I think I would sooner argue that refusing to take a safe vaccine and exposing others (or yourself if you have dependents) to potentially serious but largely avoidable diseases would be the greater violation.

It is already illegal to fire people based on their religious beliefs.
