I understand the gentleman's position, which is held by a number of people. My own view is that employers make a reasonable decision when they say to an employee--for the sake, not only of the employee but for everybody else in the workplace with whom they work--that you are required to be vaccinated because we believe that science and medical personnel tell us that is a much safer route. But I understand there is a difference on that. But even then, I know Governors who have been against vaccines are not necessarily against the employer requiring that as an employee requirement as opposed to a governmental requirement.
