There really isn't a "coerced" debate. Replace "shot" with "penis" and ask them if requiring her to receive the penis injection or get fired is coercion.
It absolutely, legally, is coercion. You can't remove choice down to " do it or you will be fired" and call it consent. Precedent has established this.
You can say she was coerced, the truth is that she CAVED and is now suffering the well known potential consequences of that decision. Had she not had an adverse reaction she’d be missing out on her current 15 minutes. This woman is not a victim nor a fucking hero just another one that is, at least, partially vaccinated. I’ve lost jobs, housing, friends and even family at times for standing in my convictions...what I didn’t lose was my integrity nor my soul and NOTHING is worth more than that. I pray that she’s able to find peace with herself and the extremely unfortunate CHOICE she ultimately made.
Listen, I totally agree with you. She's not someone that those of us who have held out and made sacrifices for our convictions can feel a whole lot of sympathy for. BUT my personal take is that I care more about the outcome of having employers engaged in this sick coercion held accountable for their crimes and for setting a precedent that employers are responsible for harm caused as a result of their coercion than I care about the fact that this person may be taking advantage of her own weakness or cowardice and getting rewarded with a payout. Unless we have walked a day in her shoes, we can't really judge whether or not we would have made the same decision in her position. Hopefilly we can look past the imperfections of the people leading the charge against the corruption to focus on our desired outcome which is for all of us to win and for them to lose. My thought is that if she is successful, the people who have been put on unpaid leave, the people who have been fired and the people who have maintained their jobs but experienced discrimination or other mental and physical distress as a result of these employers actions will have legal grounds to bring suit as well.
