> Wow we sure threw that one out the window with the covid 19 vaccine didn't we?

No, we have not.

Also, it's completely asinine to compare voluntary vaccination by an incredibly safe vaccine in the middle of a pandemic that claimed millions of lives, with forced medical experiments often resulting in deaths.

In some countries vaccination was planned to not be voluntary. This was the case in Austria, with a government stipulated mandate.[1] The situation changed rapidly, but just pointing out that vaccination against COVID was not always planned to be voluntary, especially as the OP mentioned his employer was mandating it.

> employer was mandating it.

You can quit your job if you want to stay infectious. There's absolutely nothing controversial in requiring vaccinations as a condition for employment.

Amazing what you can accomplish by threatening someone’s livelihood in the middle of a pandemic. No coercion at all, right?

If you want to endanger others, why not?

What next, road speed limits as a tool of oppression?

If you aks some people in Germany, the answer can be an absolute yes...

> an incredibly safe vaccine

yeah, i'm going to need you to prove that statement by showing me the standard 10-12 year safety studies available for those "incredibly safe" mRNA vaccines.

"Standard"? Can you please cite it?
