Good. Its time to stop messing around with this. The vaccines are tested and are safe.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
My only issue is with this line: >> employees could continue working from home through Oct. 18. I agree that they should mandate vaccines for in office. But if they do so, I don't think they should force people into the office.
If Google believes their employees are more productive in the office, why shouldn't they do everything in their power to get the workforce back into the office?

My body my choice, right?
Wow, I've never gotten a comment flagged in my years of being here, let alone within minutes! Good to see this a fruitful unbiased discussion forum.

Where Google goes, I expect the rest of the tech companies (including companies that just fancy themselves as tech companies) to follow. This is that moment when everyone is reminded of "at will" employment.
> Google announced Wednesday it would require all in-office workers and visitors to be vaccinated and that employees could continue working from home through Oct. 18.
It's possible, perhaps even likely, that the vaccines will be fully FDA approved before that date (Source: FDA spokesperson speaking here https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/16/health/pfizer-covid-19-vaccin... )
It should go without saying that they're obviously aware that some rare medical circumstances may not allow the vaccine. They have prepared an exceptions process for those people:

Why are the major COVID-19 vaccines still under FDA emergency use authorization guidelines? What's preventing the FDA from dropping those special rules and treating the vaccine like every other vaccine?
