If you a job that pays $19 a hr, would you get the vaccine to keep your job?

I’m torn on if I should get it or not

It depends on how bad I needed that job & how dead set against vaccines I am.
Lot of places are looking for help. You could probably get another job. Then again, vaccinations don’t seem to hurt so why go thru all of that?
@iwishuwerehere As time goes by and more people get the shot, more vaccinated folks will die anyway..especially those of us over 60. I'm not ready to take that risk

@fernie2 it’s your choice.
I never intended to imply otherwise
@iwishuwerehere "Then again, vaccinations don’t seem to hurt so why go thru all of that?" I guess I responded to this because it does hurt many

@fernie2 there are no guarantees with any medicines. It’s still your choice. Is it worth the risk? The world lined up for the polio vaccine. It wasn’t perfect either but was it worth the risk?
@iwishuwerehere First of all...I rarely leave my house and NO ONE comes in. I wear a mask on ZOOM calls. So many who got the shot seem to think we, the unvaccinated, are developmentally challenged. I'm not going to spread it or get it. There are, again, many different, VALID reasons why sane, responsible adults choose to not get it, we are not clones, we are not ALL sheep, we are not all selfish. Some of us are waiting for some consistency...every other damn day there is some issue with this thing.I am a perfect candidate to get the shot and die anyway...NO, it is NOT worth the risk. I do agree that there were no guarantees re: Smallpox vaccine...horrible, life threatening side effects...polio shots too. People back then had NO information about side effects/danger from the vaccines. Now, we get bombarded with many different opinions, warnings...it's all out there since the internet arrived. You haven't done this but too many vaccinated people demonize everyone who's chosen to wait, not get it at all,etc. "Selfish! Crazy! Stupid! Gonna kill thousands of people!" I promise I won't kill anyone 🙄 Peace
