I know that a lot of what folks are doing in this thread is exercising their brain muscles for intellectual stimulation and good conversation. But it does make me a little nuts that some folks say we don’t know so let’s do nothing.
But I have to throw in here because I think you just hit the nail on the head with just those four words.
I think you just answered the question on why it is necessary to mask, get vaxed, maintain distances etc.
I have stayed out of this because I think it is as absurd an argument as folks intentionally not helping the environment because they claim that if humans damage it is unknown.
Quite simply, we don’t know.
But masks, vax, distancing does NOT hurt. So, given the dire situation one should (unless you are a hermit removed from all other human contact) do something which does not possibly cause any harm and may in fact help mitigate the situation.
As to the question on if someone who is vaxed but infects someone else be fired? As someone who was intimately involved in these kind of policy decisions that is also pretty obvious…if the employee was doing all that (s)he could to prevent the spread of the disease…masking, distancing, vaxed, etc…then no (s)he could not nor should (s)he be fired…but if (s)he was not doing everything thought to help in some way to prevent spread then (s)he should absolutely be separated from the employment for brazen disregard for others.
Now, I am going back into the mode of ignoring this thread because it just makes me sad that humans don’t want to do what is human about living in a human society.
