17. If a co-worker exercises her right to have an abortion, it does not threaten my life or health.

Her body, her choice.

If a co-worker refuses to be vaccinated against COVID, it DOES threaten my life and health. It isn't just their body-- it's mine, also, that they are threatening. That's the difference.

No one is forcing them to get vaccinated. No one is forcing them to work there, either. I think it is and will be the right of employers to demand vaccination (except in certain limited cases as defined by law), and I will support it.
