I work for a company that sent an all hands email stating that he vaccine is a personal choice and they will not be requiring anyone to get the vaccine.
The company I work for is deep blue and the angle I chose to take was "There is no way I'm taking Trump's vaccine. He rushed it to production and I don't trust that racist."
Their demigods in charge have told them what to think. Before the election the vaccines were dangerous and untested. Now they're safe because Glorious Leader says so.
If you know the higher ups I would give them positive feedback for actually giving a shit about your personal freedoms.
Fuck man, I don't even mind if they say "We highly recommend you get it if you are of a high risk group, but we also understand this is a personal choce considering current circumstances" - i.e. they can push it but not fucking SHAME you for it.
Same. My company is strongly urging people to get the vaccine but saying that it's a personal choice. The province where I live also says it's illegal to discriminate against people who don't get the vaccine.
However at the same time, the CEO of my company sent out a mass email saying
The best vaccine for you is the one that is available. Trust that they're all safe
Hours before Canada put all Astra Zeneca vaccinations for under 55's on hold.
We've had "get the vaccine facts" sessions with our Chief Medical Officer. They don't seem to quite get that if I don't trust the White House doctors telling me it's safe, I'm probably not going to trust our CMO that went to the same schools and is beholden to the same system.
I can't imagine the person who says "well I don't trust that Fauci, but I trust our CMO who I've never met and who lives on the other side of the country"
The part that gets me is that the Government of Canada said that all of these vaccines have been thoroughly tested and are definitely safe, no need to worry. Then other countries started finding a causal link between the Astra Zeneca vaccine and brain blood clots, which led to at least 5 deaths of young adults who were at no risk of dying to the virus. And it's only after that happens that Canada suddenly pulls that vaccine from use for under 55's.
But if they had thoroughly tested it and knew it was safe, how did this escape their notice? They must be either incompetent or malicious and either way, why should I now trust any of the other vaccines on offer? Can I trust that as much "care" was put into vetting them too?
I'm not even anti-vac or even anti-mRNA vaccine, because I understand the mechanism behind how they work and it makes sense. But I am anti-"give everyone in the world a new vaccine type that has never been implemented in humans before for a virus that 99.9% of the population shouldn't be legitimately concerned over"
I don't want something injected in me where you likely had a pharma CEO hovering over a bunch of scientists and engineers telling them "you will get this released and approved by this date, or it will be you standing in front of the Board explaining why you failed".
I've been in the shoes of those scientists and engineers, for things far less important or politicized. And I will tell you that I would hit that date, and you wouldn't want to ask too many questions about how I did it.

I'm really happy for that.

Being deep undercover is pretty fun sometimes.
I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been a thing with most of the left.

Trust the science.
It was, but then they turned on a dime.
Remember when Colbert's audience cheered when he announced Comey had been fired, and he had to "correct" them?
I member. Back when clown world was only starting to paint their faces
That's clever.

Oh for sure. I'm in sales and we do monthly meeting with the management and CEO. So I can bend their ear on it.
Good stuff. That's how you keep the stupidity from infiltrating.
Mine did too, but I could see them changing their minds if the state "encourages" them to mandate it.
The execs have shown themselves to have the spine of jellyfish, so I don't trust them to keep their word.
