Don't you hate when that happens?

Whoopsie!

 The latest republican bugaboo is the use of vaccine passports, whereby in the future the government and businesses may require people to carry proof of their vaccinations for COVID-19 in order to gain entry into government offices and restaurants, sporting events, grocery stores, etc.

The government requirement is actually pretty cut and dried, as anyone with children in public schools will tell you.  Every child is required to be vaccinated against certain diseases in our public school systems, or they aren't attending.  Any parents who choose not to vaccinate their children are free to home school or send them to a religious nutjob school.

What I find most karmic, though, is businesses requiring people to show proof of vaccination (these businesses are being called "communist corporations," a glaring oxymoron if ever I've heard one).  Most people don't realize that unless you're self-employed or work for an exceedingly small business (with a really shitty lawyer), companies across the board have Employee at Will policies.  An Employee at Will policy states the following:  the company you work for is free to terminate your employment at any time with or without reason (i.e., at will); to make it sound not quite as draconian, it also states that you are free to end your employment at any time, with or without notice.  In short, this means that yes, the company you work for can indeed require you to get a vaccination or terminate you.  The minute you come on board, you're an employee at will until you leave.

Want to guess what helped usher in Employee at Will policies?  If you guessed Right to Work (for Less) laws, give yourself a kewpie doll--you're right!  And want to guess which party has been a champion of Right to Work (for Less) laws for decades?  Give yourself another kewpie doll if you guessed the GQP!

A wise human once said that payback is a motherfucker, but they neglected to mention that on occasion it's as funny as fuck, too.

Though I do suppose republicans are free to open their own restaurants or start their own sports leagues....
