All true, but what about people with a medical condition that means they cannot be vaccinated? If you have MS and your Dr says do not get vaccinated, and you are fired because of it, weren't you really fired because of a medical disability? You could make that argument.
That’s where a company is supposed to allow for medical exemptions / religious exemptions. Religious exemptions have to be legitimate on many grounds including a recognized religion, basic tenets of that religion, and proof of strict religious participation.
Companies are directed to request documentation from a physician for medical exemption claims. If deemed legitimate they can then decide if they believe the employee can reasonably do the job with accommodation that isn’t detrimental to the company (as per the ADA).
Examples might include requiring an employee to continually wear masks and PPE both during and after the pandemic as has ended.
Employees that are fired for refusing getting the jab aren’t even entitled to unemployment typically. The employers hold nearly all the cards. If a person had a legitimate documented medical exemption and were still fired they might have grounds to sue but it’s not a forgone conclusion especially in certain states. The ADA has big holes as well.
As the expert on Tucker’s show stated it’s really time for the GOP to change its platform from fealty to corporations and businesses to individual liberty which would include individual worker’s rights. A large part of the reason this is even possible was the ground work they laid for decades giving businesses outsized autonomy over their employees.
