I don't understand, if the vaccines work then why the issue? However the vaccines don't stop you catching or spreading the virus, so why is this banning of the unvaccinated a thing? Very odd.

Vaccines reduce spread. Even if it doesn’t stop spread completely it’s still a significant factor.

"Odd" only if the policies are driven by public health concerns. Now ask for what motivations / goals would this approach not be "odd."

If a seatbelt doest stop you from dying in 100% of car crashes, I don't understand why they're mandatory?

In this case, they don't.

> The department said if an employee doesn’t report to work or is suspended or terminated for refusing to comply with a vaccine mandate, the employer should indicate that they quit, took a leave of absence or were dismissed – potentially disqualifying them from collecting EI.

Why isn't this fraud?
