Nope. If I cannot be discriminated against if I want to buy a gay wedding cake from Christians, if I cannot be discriminated against because of the color of my skin, my HIV status, or any other number of issues, it should not be permmissable to discriminate against me because I won't take a shot that is marginally effective, experimental, and has deadly side effects.
it's not about current status, it's where this is headed and if you cannot see that, you're willfully ignorant. And you will deserve the society you are going to create.

The vaccine is highly effective. Until the Delta variant came along the vaccine was 95% effective in preventing a person from catching the virus. Now that percentage is estimated to be about 65%. 65% is greater than 0%. When do you consider a vaccine to not be "experimental"? I would say that months of testing among tens of thousands of people around the world, with continued follow-up studies being done, rather conclusive. And the vaccines do not have deadly side effects. A handful of people have died and millions have been saved.
There are times I support a vaccine mandate and times when I do not. I support it 100% on a cruise ship. I support it in hospitals. I will leave it up to individual companies as to whether or not to mandate the vaccine. Some people will be forced to make a difficult decision -- get the vaccine or walk away from a job.
