They have the power of choice but no right to dictate the terms of employment. No matter how you try that's why you can't accept this basic fact: no one was forced. When presented with the choice they chose whether to take the vaccine or look for other employment. What you demand is the right to both refuse the vaccine in violation of company policy and to keep their employment. You wouldn't argue that for any other corporate or company policy or term of employment, but in this case you've got such a compulsion to resist that you have to act like you'd be fine with employees doing whatever the hell they want no matter what the company says. So yeah, I guess you were right, they were forced just like every other employee is "forced" to follow company policy to keep their job. What they weren't "forced" to do was take the vaccine if they didn't want it because they had the option to walk away.

Maybe a logic format would work better for you.

If there are hospitals that would have allowed people to choose whether or not they wanted the vaccine, AND
If the government fines hospitals massive amounts of money for employing anyone without a vaccine,

THEN it is the GOVERNMENT'S POLICY that caused layoffs in the hospitals that didn't mandate the vaccine for their employees. 

Ergo, the government made a policy that FORCED many people to have to choose to take a vaccine or lose their livelihood. I'll say it slowly...

Just
because
your
hospital
was 
already 
employing 
those 
mandates

(which is a moral dilemma, not a systemic problem)

Doesn't
mean
other 
hospitals
would 
have 
made 
the
same 
decision.

Every person who worked at a hospital that wasn't stupid enough to rush into that kind of decision had the freedom of choice. There were plenty of hospitals who had not made it a requirement for their employees until the government created a mandate that forced them to do so, which, by proxy, forced people to make a choice to lose their jobs or get vaxxed. This logic is simple. It's not complicated. You are capable of understanding what I'm saying here. If you refuse to acknowledge this point, it's because you don't want to.
