In a feee society, it is healthy to question new restrictions. However, the majority of society has decided the vaccines are a very safe and valuable tool to help end the second worst global pandemic in the past 100 years [1].
If you disagree, you need to try to convince us why we are wrong. So far, I personally have found arguments against the vaccine and incentives to get it to be uncompelling and often deeply flawed.
You aren't sending these people to death camps, you are telling them they can go work somewhere else.
Free market, rah rah rah. Seems fair?
Any longterm consequences are unknown at this point, so far none have been found. But short term consequences of employees dying, spending more time sick, or getting others sick are 100% known and proven.
Does vaccination (in this case) make it so others around you don't get sick? No.
These things are a risky venture and don't appear to have much long term benefit other then bringing money in to drug companies.
If people are "at risk" or otherwise want to take their chances fine. But "mandating" it for others, yes, including loss of job is criminal. This isn't polio.
None of the pandemics you cited had mandated vaccines. Vaccines are great, vaccine mandates, for a low risk illness with widespread vaccines and highly effective post-infection mitigation strategies, is simply not preferred by some people.
And unvaccinated people are a danger to the vaccinated.
