No savings, living paycheck to paycheck, the Phillipino nurse whose family has a history of heart disease, gets the vaccine.... she never gets COVID but she 'dies suddenly'. At least she doesn't have family here to question why.

That's rough and that's the problem many faced when all of the vaccines came out. It's really harsh and too easy to say "Well, if you don't like it, don't work there".

Maybe that's easy for a younger person that's barely been invested in a company or career for under five years. However, what about people like me or people older than me?

Where, you're vested well into your career within a railroad industry? And, you're 15 years in or right at 28, 29 years and just need to make it to 30 to guarantee your retirement benefits and pension for yourself and your wife or husband?

That's pretty [BLEEP] man to pull on people. It happened. It happened a lot more than people care to admit and a lot of people either lost their careers or lost their lives like the woman you cited above because it was forced. 

Now, whether anybody likes it or not, you're starting to see articles come out trying to walk it all back and apologize for it. "Oops! Yeah, in hindsight? We were [BLEEP] and there were some risks involved with getting the vaccine, sorry for your financial loss or loss of life in the family, sorry about the Matriarch or Patriarch biting the big one because we put them in between a rock and a hard place". 

Yep. Sounds about right. Par for the course here in the US. [BLEEP] your experience. [BLEEP] your taxes that you paid in. [BLEEP] your future that you worked hard for. Most importantly, [BLEEP] your family. No soup for you!
