The vaccine makers cannot be held liable by law for anything that goes wrong for decades now.  That would probably transfer to employers as well.  Can't say for sure.

Finally!  Looks like we might get a safe and effective vaccine we have all been waiting for.  This is huge.  We were all concerned this was not going to happen, but looks like they will be applying for emergency authorization in the US at the end of the year:
 
 
 
We expect to complete multiple ongoing rolling regulatory submissions within the next couple of weeks in key markets, including the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We, along with SII, have already filed for authorization in India, Indonesia and The Philippines, as well as for Emergency Use Listing (EUL) with the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO EUL will allow Novavax and SII to deliver on our combined commitment to the COVAX Facility for a cumulative 1.1 billion doses of our vaccine, around which we maintain ongoing conversations with CEPI, Gavi and UNICEF. Additionally, we expect to file for Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S. before the end of 2021.{#Dancingbanana}

No anger here, just sadness that the world is allowing some to condone the demise of others over their differences in opinion and beliefs.  Freedom never tollerates such actions.
So if you rather, look to the history of Stalin, Khmer Rouge, Chinese Revolutionaries, Rwandans or countless others that have attempted to erase the rights of a segment of the population in the name of the "Good of the State".  Back to work and the music, and have a great day and may your opinion and beliefs never be cancelled.

Once I noticed it, it became a red flag whenever anyone (the former guy and any of his lackeys) made predictions or promises. We saw it: they didn't come true, but it led people to vote for them. But, like weathermen/women no one took them to task or their wrongness. 
Le sigh.

Who needs "foreign enemies" when this guy has the highest-rated show on cable.
Carlson did not get that memo. Despite all of it and the fact that his show aired a half-day after the corrective measures began, Carlson pressed forward Monday night by using Powell’s death to question the official case for the vaccines. And he did so while not once mentioning the crucial fact of Powell’s comorbidity.

Carlson pressed forward by propping up the straw man that people were told the vaccines were a fail-safe — President Biden has sometimes exaggerated the protection the vaccines provide, but experts and studies have never said they’re 100 percent effective — and then promptly knocking it down.

But that straw man wasn’t Carlson’s worst journalistic sin Monday night; his failure to mention Powell’s cancer was. It was a textbook case of misleading with incomplete information. And given how well-publicized the debate was over Powell’s comorbidity throughout the day Monday — including among Carlson’s own colleagues — it’s difficult to believe the omission was not deliberate.

Carlson, of course, did have company in this.

Former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who has often espoused vaccine skepticism, chimed in during the debate over how Powell’s death was being characterized. But her beef wasn’t with how Powell’s cancer wasn’t initially mentioned; it was with the idea that not enough media outlets had stated that he was fully vaccinated. (...)

Cain, like Carlson, proceeded to insist that his goal was not to be “leading you to vaccine hesitancy.” But also like Carlson’s, the thrust of his coverage was clear. It suggests we’ve been misled, while barraging us with questions that are themselves misleading and in many cases already answered. (...)

my bags (i can see where this would considered poor timing on my part)
i thought we were talking about colin powell and that someone was angry at him (which i also understand - conflict does that)
that quote of his came to mind and i apologize for any offense
he (and our political leaders) made a huge mistake and as a result a lot of innocent people perished in war
he has since admitted that he was wrong and regrets providing bad info

“It turned out, as we discovered later, that a lot of sources that had been attested to by the intelligence community were wrong,” Powell said in Washington, DC.

“I understood the consequences of that failure and, as I said, I deeply regret that the information – some of the information, not all of it – was wrong,” said the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“It has blotted my record, but – you know – there’s nothing I can do to change that blot. All I can say is that I gave it the best analysis that I could.”

should we believe him? should he be forgiven?
did the intelligence community give him bad info on purpose? was he used as a mouth piece to sell a war? who knows 

we've had some disastrous foreign policy and unfortunately it looks like we haven't learned a lot from it

war is never the answer

when is it time to stop killing folks and do the hard work of building the peace?
regards

An anecdote, perhaps relatable and revealing:

A friend of mine told me over the weekend the following: Last October, my friend talked on the phone with a longtime friend of his who he had not spoken with for a while. They had grown up together and had been close friends in high school and remained good friends beyond. COVID-19 came up. His friend said it would be over the day after the upcoming presidential election. My friend said in response that he must mean that he believed the intense media focus would die down after the election — not that COVID-19 would be over. His friend said, no, that he did mean Covid-19 would be over the day after the election. My friend pressed him on how he could, and why he would, believe that. His friend just repeated several times “that’s what I believe.” Finally, my friend, exasperated and trying to understand , said to his friend: “How can I talk to you if that is what you believe?”

There was no meeting of the minds. Nor, my friend sadly realized, would there be.
