Vaccine Mandates Have Arrived, B&H To Require Employees To Be Vaccinated By The End of The Year
by CrownHeights.info
The mandates are real, and everyone must be vaccinated by the end of the year.
It’s New York City Law, and will soon also be required by the US government. Either way, employers have run out of time to stall in requiring their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
According to a memo from B&H Photo, which includes many Jewish and frum employees, the vaccine mandate is going into effect, and failure to be vaccinated will end in suspension without pay.
“Recently, the New York City Mayor provided regulations for a vaccine mandate,” the memo reads. “A federal mandate for vaccines is also scheduled to be effective in January of 2022.”
According to the memo, all employees would need to show proof of vaccination, and if they have not yet received their second shot, would need to do so by a specified date.
The memo does also leave open the option for “lawful accommodation” although it does not specify as to what that might entail.
Recent media availabilities by the Mayor of New York City had questions raised regarding the effect such a mandate would have, and if they would disproportionately affect minority people. The Mayor responded that “Mandates Work,” and he expects to see most people vaccinate due to the mandate.
The effect of such a mandate has yet to be fully seen although a vast majority of New Yorkers have already been vaccinated.

I’m going to be trashed but here goes. You have the right to not vaccinate.
A company has the right to require it. If I don’t want to wear a post woman uniform, I don’t work at the post office. Your freedom doesn’t mean others cannot enforce the rules they feel
are necessary for the health and security of all their workers.

The government is requiring it. And the company is being forced. If the company actually held the right to require it they would also have the right to decline it but they don’t. This is fascism.

The company has the right to require it. But shouldn’t the company also have the right NOT to require it?
In this case they don’t. The State is forcing it on them. How is that freedom?

You would have a valid point if this was the case. Unfortunately it’s not the companies that are mandating this it’s our elected officials that enjoy controlling us who are mandating this.
