Well, they are taxpayer-supported workers, many with very well-paying (often permanent) jobs, full bennies including health care, and retirement accounts. Boo hoo, cry me a river.

I don't want anyone to be forced to take a vaccine, I don't care who it is
It is a basic fundamental human right.. do not let a state that's already completely out of control, suddenly make such a move, in clear violation of the Nurnberg codes, for which the penalty is hanging by the neck until death. That's what the Nurnberg trials were about and any government doing this must be held accountable immediately.

Do not cross this line.
People have the right, the duty, to resist a tyrannical government.
