Outside international travel which is understandable, in the US jobs are near important as health insurance. So, if one can loose their job then paying extra for healthcare is one of the least of one's problems. Both should take priority but I do understand sone jobs should require vaccination. I like so far that federal workers can opt to take the covid test weekly. I just hope they don't charge them extra. That would mean they give that option to "make protesters happy" but the underlying message is one day you'll get tired of weekly testing. Just vaccinate.
That makes the issue less about spreading covid and more just getting people vaccinated. Not sure of other countries.
I mean we can have a lot of vaccinated homeless people if one likes. But then depending I wonder if they would be at less risk when they had their jobs than they would be if they were homeless. I don't know.
Yes, some fields would require mandatory vaccinations (healthcare, tourism, aged care, social services etc.)
Fairly certain our Government has made that mandatory for such fields here. Not sure if regular testing would be an option for much longer, if it is indeed used in my state. I don’t think it is in NSW, though in fairness they’re on like level 4 lockdown, so it’s a bit more dire.
Well yeah, incentivising people to vaxx through monetary means is distasteful. I’d argue that that is a consequence of capitalism, in particular that which is found in the US. Since tying healthcare payments to vaccines would only work under the US system. It might be a bit harder to do in countries with healthcare payed by (even partially) through taxes and government regulated.
In saying that, I think there might be loss to social services payments for those who opt out (not those who can’t because of medical reasons.) I think that may be happening to those on jobseeker payments right now. But I dunno
