IMO, folks like you did teh right thing getting the Vax. The age group, etc.
It's when they try to force it on kids, or healthy folks not in the high-risk groups it gets wacky.
Things are just getting wackier by the day, with the only rhyme/reason I can see is money and control.
Mainly money...
Risk factors, specially age seems to be changing as the virus mutates. While the bulk of folks hospitalized and/or dying from COVID is still the old and infirmed, it is increasingly affecting younger people....people your age.
By they, I guess you mean employers and businesses. The medical profession and government leadership recommends getting the COVID vaccines. To the best of my knowledge they aren't mandating it unless it is for their staff. Private colleges and some public ones are mandating students be vaccinated if they wish to continue attending. Like I mentioned, my audiologist asked to see my 'vaccine passport' which they put into my record. I had the option of refusing and they had the option of refusing me service.
The longer COVID is with us and the worse it gets (if it gets worse) the greater the likelihood of vaccine mandates. So, if you are adamant about not getting vaccinated, it might be wise to develop a strategy now before the pressure gets really intense. One idea would be to find a doctor who is against the vaccine and get a written statement from them as to why you cannot be vaccinated....for health reasons. Another is to affiliate with a religious organization that eschews vaccinations and medical interventions.
Those who are not vaccinated should prepare for the possibility of being refused service or admission. No doubt there will be lawsuits that challenge this on the basis of freedom of choice in a free county.
Without a doubt if not now, eventually some companies and organizations will profit from COVID treatments. Not sure I agree with you about control though. Who and why does anyone want control in this situation?
