No... no need to answer that one. I'll tell you everyone in this house decided to get them, and we did.
BUT...... how would you have felt about that if you'd been ordered to by someone with authority over you? Someone who could materially hurt you if you didn't obey? Someone who didn't care what you think. Someone who did it for their own profit.
Me I'd probably have gotten it, and then burned the card and told them to go to hell.. I'm ornery that way.
How about you? Do you follow orders ....take threats.....well?

Vaccine free here, as is my wife. We are both in our mid fifties and not in any high risk category. Well, I suffer from asthma, but refuse to consider it debilitating or life threatening.
We traveled to my nephew’s wedding in California in August. We were among the five(out of 130) guests who didn’t have the vaccine.
I have made up my mind and refuse to get jabbed until I see evidence that it is in my best interest.

Ummmmm --- no.
I think of it as holding you down and tattooing a number on your arm... Blackmail. Tyranny.
My wife got the J&J vaccine early on. I held out for a long time because of several reasons, not the least of which was contrariness. Then I thought about what happened with my last bout of flu. I was nearly hospitalized because of it. And I read how many hospitals were getting full, including first hand accounts from nurses.
I chose to get the J&J vaccine. I was concerned about an allergic reaction to the carrier ingredients because I'm allergic to penicillin, but it ended up not causing that. There was no one who could force me to get it. I simply weighed my risks with and without, and made the best decision I could with the information I had. I hope it doesn't bite me later.
But to answer your question, if someone tried to hold my job over my head to force me to take the vaccine? I'd quit. I'm too ornery.
