Good. Its time to stop messing around with this. The vaccines are tested and are safe.
I have taken both shots. But I wouldn't call them "safe", as they are young and approved under emergency guidelines. They are probably safe, but nobody knows that right now.

Although I wonder if they will consider workers who passed covid before (and thus have antibodies) as "vaccinated".

Weren't there various (rare) occurrences of serious side effects? (such as the blood clot thing for astra and jonson or myocarditis for pfizer and moderna)
Google is an at-will employer, which means that employee or employer can terminate the arrangement at any time. Employees who like the gravy train and feel entitled to the perks can choose to keep them, or they can go somewhere else.

Tech companies won't move in lockstep on this. Battle for talent is too intense, not many companies can call shots like this like Google can. Some companies will be glad to differentiate to try and attract Googlers that do not want to return to the office, that do not want to be vaccinated (tho I think the number of tech workers that are not vax'd is small)
I agree, I suspect that very few Googlers will be unvaxxed and that trying to identify these individuals and poach them will be tough. Not a good look if other tech companies are specifically bringing in non-vaccinated employees. Might create issues with current employees.

They aren’t fully tested, they have emergency FDA approval but haven’t finished the standard approval process yet.

There's been nearly 4 billion shots delivered across the world in the past 8 months. I suspect if they were to cause great harm, we would have known by now.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the covid vax. I got Pfizer myself as soon as it was available. But there is still room for doubt.

Yes, your body your choice, and also your employer your choice. I prefer to flip the script here: none of your coworkers chose to be subjected to someone who is unvaccinated, increasing their risk.
What other characteristics is it ok to use to determine who can earn a living or not?

Are there any vaccines in history that have caused something unexpected 10 years from injection?

Yes [1] *EDIT* - People are being pedantic saying it's not a vaccine while technically true it was a government approved medication that had horrific side effects discovered after approval. This is why people are wary about taking a vaccine still under approval as 'emergency use'. And also ridiculous to force employees…

They are not tested long term.

The Cutter Incident seems like the most damning.
