I would prefer the health care providers in my community follow science, take the pandemic seriously, and vaccinate against COVID. By having a fully vaccinated health care staff, our hospitals/clinics are better prepared to serve our communities without the threat of COVID taking important staff away from work.

The workers that walk out will be labeled racists and Trump supporters then banned from social media.

DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employersâ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904âs recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agencyâs position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.
It purpose of the change is clear to me.
Yes. Youâll notice that thereâs nothing there about employer liability.
No, I donât think it is. I think youâre seeing what you want to see.
Whatâs racist about refusing the vaccine?

Reportable OSHA workplace accidents are the first step in claiming workers compensation cases. Itâs the start of the paper trail for many businesses. Theyâve taken away that ability to start the paper trail to make it look like itâs your choice to get vaccinated. Theyâve removed liability from the company and put it on you.
Nothing. Interjecting a little sarcasm.
What happens when workers walk out over vaccinations? They get fired.

96% of physicians and 75% of healthcare workers are vaccinated. Of the healthcare workers not vaccinated, most are in small rural facilities. The places with the highest number of people who are not vaccinated have the highest number of healthcare workers who arenât vaccinated. Go figure.

They are following the science. There are those who donât like the way they are following the science, but the science says the majority of the population are safe from the latest boogeyman.

No, theyâre not. OSHA has nothing at all to do with Workmanâs Comp claims, which are guided by state-level regulations.
None of this is close to being correct, legally.
This is what I do for a living.

If I offer to pay an employee for the time off to get vaccinated or offer incentives to get vaccinated and they get sick or have side effects am I now liable under OSHA or Workman Comp laws? Seems like I would be.
If an employee has a lunch break and goes to McDonaldâs and gets in an accident I am not liable.
However, if I ask them to bring me back a burger (as their employer) I am liable.

Well, youâre doing it wrong, because up until this change in OSHA policy, companies were reluctant to mandate vaccines because it would go in the books as an OSHA reportable workplace incident.
Guess who healthcare workers take care of? People who arenât safe from the âboogeyman.â Science.

I cannot imagine that if an employer requires a vaccine and an employer is injured as a result of it there will not be compensation of some sort.
