Yes, the same way that not having Ebola should be a condition of employment. Also, being against medical science shows stupidity, and employers should not want stupid employees.

They definitely shouldn't hire people who drink. Have you seen the latest research on alcohol consumption from the World Heart Federation?

Maybe for medical jobs

If I catch covid from a workmate and they're unvaccinated I expect to continue getting paid while I'm off work.

You can't "catch drinking" from colleagues.

True but ignoring medical science indicates an employee is stupid. Even if drinking itself isn't contagious, a stupid employee can still cause plenty of other fuckups (not to mention those arising from coming into work drunk and/or hungover).

Is there a difference between someone who willingly ignores medical science, and someone who has an addiction that he or she is actively working on?

No. If they had followed medical science they never would have become alcoholics.

Nonsense. You obviously know nothing about addiction.

I more or less agree with this. If someone is in a medical setting where they're in direct contact with patients, that's definitely a situation where mandatory vaccines would be justified, I would say.

There could be other jobs where there's a strong argument for them, but at any rate, this is definitely a justified one IMO.

Are you implying you know more than the medical science experts?
