My employer threatened me often - I work for State Agency. I and many others refused, they kept threatening us to fire us. We never gave in. We never got jabbed, and never got fired. If they fired us, the place would have shut down.

As much dysfunction as there are at my job, and the people are willing to stab each other in the back at every chance, we did hold out on this. We forced their hand, and they caved.

Just imagine if all the other "men" out there did the same.

And for those who say, "you could have sued later for injuries," I say true, but you are the one going to have to live with those injuries, just as I would had I gotten sick and "long covid" becomes a serious injury. Who knows what those will become further down the road. I feel better taking my route.
