I think someone who didn’t get the jab, and then dies or is severely ill would have a OAS claim on the employer for not only not ensuring their safety, but for actively placing them at risk. It would not matter where the infection was contracted, however if there were to be an outbreak at the school that would tend to increase the likelihood of conviction. The fact is that anyone providing a service where individuals from different households are mixing had better have a Covid strategy in writing. ---

I don’t think that liberals advertise as such as much. I live in a liberal county, the few bumper stickers I see are pro Trump. None of my friends have a ‘liberal’ bumper sticker. ---

> [@Mighty\_Mouse](#): > > Isn’t “logic” something pagans invented to undermine Anglo-Saxon Christianity?   _ **White** _ Anglo-Saxon Christianity, but I guess that goes without saying. Logic is uncomfortably close to science in that both have a disconcerting tendency to tell Trumpists things that contradict the “Truths” they hold in their tiny little brains. ---

I would definitely put a rainbow “Crazy cat lady wicked liberal Grandma for Choice” bumper sticker on my Civic. ---

The lack of bumper stickers in my liberal 'hood made me remark that I should make ones that say “Nothing that I believe is worth defacing my Prius for.” I could go generic with “my classic car”… hmm,maybe I should customize them on demand. Then mine would say “Nothing that I believe is worth defacing _The Very First Hybrid_ for.” For maximum snootiness. … Meanwhile, on topic, I’m praying that this will result in the Governor getting involved, and both he and the school go down in flames… ---

> [@casdave](#): > > I think someone who didn’t get the jab, and then dies or is severely ill would have a OAS claim on the employer for not only not ensuring their safety, but for actively placing them at risk I don’t know what OAS is, but you’re probably not an American, I’m guessing. This idea of holding the employer accountable for such a policy, especially in Florida, would be pretty quaint to most Americans, though many if not most of us would be shaking our heads at it all the while. > [@Darth\_Sensitive](#): > > Would firings for getting a vaccine be something that could be contested in court? You can always contest anything in court. Whether or not it’ll hold up is a different matter. Florida is an at-will state, vaccination status is not an explicitly protected class (public safety notwithstanding), and the state of Florida has been opening things up recently rather than locking them down. If the school has a half-way competent HR staff, they fire people without giving them any particular reason. This is pretty common. They just have to make sure they are covered in case they are accused of the firing due to race, religion, etc instead of literally any other reason.
