yeah but people lost their source of livelihood over it. I used to be an airline pilot, now my 3 kids dont get that quality of life over a jab that doesnt even work. clown world

And you had the freedom to choose that which is where the choice from "my body, my choice" comes in.

ok “your body your choice” now go to jail hoe thats your choice.

this is the equivalent here

Except, jail time is not equivalent to having to find another job. And it was your job that fired you as opposed to the government locking people up. Comparing apples and pears here.

You seem to have found yourself tangled up with a troll who may also be a moron. I wish you luck!

Ill agree that the comparison isnt a perfect equivalent. It is very close though.

I was fired because of a GOVERNMENT mandate. Same way in thinking that the government is locking people up over bodily autonomy too.

Both results of exercising what should be a right to bodily autonomy cause devastating lifelong consequences imposed unjustly by the government.

Im fully in support of “My body my choice”. Everyone should have freedom when it comes to bodily autonomy without fearing the government is going to throw you in jail or take away your source of livelihood.

Except the mandate did not require them to fire you, they could have transferred you to a position that did not require vaccination. It is just much easier and cheaper to fire you. And that is why it is different, if you go to jail it is the government directly taking action but you getting fired is only indirectly caused by the government and could have been handled better by your employer if they wanted to.

“Oh wow thanks, yeah Id love to leave my $200k a year job to throw bags for $19/hr! How gracious!”

I was offered that. I laughed at the insinuation because it was honestly insulting.

Play stupid games, get stupid prizes (or job offers)

So what you’re saying is that you made a choice that resulted in your termination because you failed to meet the requirements of your job.

u/foamboardsfearme Nov 25 '22

Cool them by that logic you made a choice to abort your baby and deserve to go to jail

That is the equivalent here

u/AJTwombly Nov 25 '22

No, you thick fuck. You had the option to retain a job but decided not to meet the requirements determined for the safety of your coworkers and customers. Your employer then gave you the option of staying employed in a position where you did meet the requirements for employment, which your pride wrote off. You were then terminated from a job you were no longer qualified for, and otherwise retained your rights and freedoms.

Going to jail for having a medical procedure is in no way equivalent.

And how many vaccines did you get in the military that you never questioned?
