Terribly sorry you're dealing with such ignorance, TS. I also know of many people who just could NOT afford to lose their income - my sisters (one at VA hospital, the other at Quest diagnostics) in Puerto Rico, for instance- and felt obligated to take the jabs. Not everyone has the resources (i.e. savings, low debt, etc) to walk away from their only source of income.

Actually, I’m losing my jobs over masks. The shot came via a different route. I was prepared to not get it. Turned it down each time three different employers offered it. If I did not get it, then my wife and son would have to quarantine home from work and school respectively if I had covid like symptoms UNLESS I got the shot. I have allergies, apart from fever, I ALWAYS have covid like symptoms. So I got the damned thing and hope that it causes whatever damage it will to before my wife tries to get it for our son.
You'll lose your job anyway. When people comply, they just ratchet it up again. So it's lose/lose for us. So, we may as well refuse to comply. To any of it.
Not sure I would actually lose this job but would loss my soul if I complied. Apart from going against my training and being forced to make my students comply with a policy that endangers their health, masks are incubators for bacteria and fungus, how do you teach a foreign language when students can’t observe your facial movements and hear the sounds unobstructed by masks and or plastic barriers? How can one judge proper pronunciation when students speak through the same? Just pretending to teach at that point.

You comply because you want it to end but it will not end because you comply.
THANK YOU.

It's 100% about control and 0% about our health.
Exactly. And most of those who know still go along. Scary.
