Is Vaccination Status Still Relevant for Employment?

According to others such as ant333, there still largely remains employers who ask for vaccination status. Now, asking for vaccination status is not a sin itself. It needs to be determined whether this is used to select certain candidates, i.e. if you are in a startup then you are more likely to find more creative people who are freethinkers who make their own decisions and research in the unvaccinated crowd. Alternatively, whether it is being used maliciously to cancel certain candidates is a concern.

Now I have no idea why employers would still be asking for vaccination status other than theoretically as mentioned above. Many employers are now starting to discourage the use of vaccines due to the side effects that are now appearing in the short to medium term involving blood clots and myocarditis. If you invest in your worker for 3-5 years then you want them to be healthy and not subject to any long term side effects. Myocarditis is basically a lifelong illness, and this undoubtedly will be something that employers keep in mind.

Now to make this thread a bit more useful. We could have a list of employers who do not ask questions. If you are an employer, or HR please chime in with the reasons why you have decided that it is alright to discriminate based on vaccination status.

If anything the question should be asked in the interviews is whether you have natural immunity or vaccination. It all comes down to how you approach the question and how you answer it. A lot of people seem to be scared to tell the truth and that seems to be very concerning coming from Australians.

When you tell them that you have natural immunity. You should be confident on the phone when you tell them it. You don't need to hide or be scared. Maybe this is coming out in your interviews! You made your decision and you need to take whatever comes at you with confidence. I'm fairly certain we are already past the point where it should even be asked. Fewer people are wearing masks and it just seems a bit odd for Australian companies to still be out there by itself.

          And the only reason you haven't is because you're immunocompromised.

        For the negger. Not all vaccines are mRNA lol.

    Tldr

    But as a teacher, yes.

    For some insight, lost half a class this week to covid and we are running on fumes staff wise

    If we weren't vaccinated, wearing masks and sanitising, we wouldn't be able to keep the doors open

    Friend of mine works at Commbank headquarters. They basically turned into a vaccine advocacy firm over the last 2 years. They even forced all their suppliers, partners, and ad agencies to enforce vax mandates upon their own staff.

    Lo and behold he tells me the other day they sent out an email to all employees saying they are removing all vax policies.

    The reason they gave? "Widepsread public acceptance of COVID". So basically despite deaths and hospitalisations being at the peak, they just concluded there was no PR benefit of having a vax mandate as nobody cared anymore. The hype train passed and they got off on the first stop.

    I also just recently got offered a job in the banking sector for a major firm. Had to do extensive police and ID checks but no vaccination requirement.

    Expect most firms to move in the same direction, especially as they realise everyone has their limit. 2 jabs to keep my job? Fine. A jab every 3 months as part of my employment? No thanks.

      reading this thread makes me realise why social studies is a thing at universities, i'm going with the assumption they try to figure out why some of the populous think the way they do.

      the vaccine rollout has done its job the best it can at the time of its implementation, its main goal was to be a buffer for the virus for the population to get to this stage where we can start to live with the virus and to reduce the strain on our economy/resources and save lives.

      Its not about "hype train" being over and "no one cares anymore", the point of the vaccine mandate is to protect the populous enough to control the virus and try to change it from a pandemic to hopefully become an endemic.

      It is only now because 90%+ of the australians are now vaccinated that the un-vaccinated have the gall to say "it wasnt a big deal".

        lol, stop reading nine news, 90% is bs anyway
        see link below good luck

        Nice gaslighting attempt. Imagine spending 2 years telling us that vaccination is the best and only way out of this pandemic, oh but peak deaths and hospitalizations post-vaccination is perfectly normal. It's part of the plan!

        If part of your plan involves thousands of people putting their trust in this drug and then dying anyway, then I want no part of it. They spent 2 years misleading people that this drug would end the pandemic and remove all restrictions. That has not been the case.

        Here's what we know at this stage -

        • getting COVID offers much better protection than the vaccine (which begs the question why our programs ignored natural immunity).

        • the 95% of Australians who got vaccinated in 2020 means nothing at this stage as the jab wears off after 3 months.

        • most people are not taking the boosters so they are essentially unprotected from the virus at this very time - which nullifies your claim that the vaccine must be working.

        • there is not a single shred of evidence that shows the vaccine is effective for younger age groups.

        • vaccines were supposed to be our ticket to safely reopen society without overburdening hospitals and seeing deaths spike. As soon as we opened, deaths spiked and hospitals became overburdened. Hard to call that a success.

          Hey there non-SlavOz - does this really bring you joy regurgitating this crap?

        the point of the vaccine mandate is to protect the populous enough to control the virus

        That was the idea, the hope, the sales pitch. But it didn't happen. Nobody is claiming the virus is under control today. Are you making that claim?

        As you know, the vaccine effectiveness wanes quickly. Not only that but transmission of the virus is unhindered by the current vaccine, particularly the current strains of the virus. This is disappointing and was not originally expected as an outcome of high vaccination rates.

        The last surviving benefit of vaccination - prevention of serious illness, is all we have left. But even this last benefit is on thin ice when it comes to young people and healthy adults, who don't benefit from the vaccine in any significantly measurable way.

        If negligible results are meaningful to you, then by all means continue supporting the vaccine. Continue your patronising remarks about "social studies" and behaviour of those who don't onboard the pro-vax rhetoric as easily as you have.

        Officially, the tone remains positive because the concept of "vaccination" can't be damaged. We won't see any formal admission that mandates and rules went too far. Similar to how John Howard still to this day stands by his decision to support the invasion of Iraq, even when the reason to invade was based on false information (WMDs never found). He said something along the lines of "my heart was in the right place". @Aarent, I'm sure your heart is in right place. But it's okay to question things and disagree with your television from time to time.
