Thanks @mell

Do you have some links showing that Europe forbids jab mandates?

@Patrick for starters:

Excellent.

Makes me consider moving to Europe.

Still, they are a little weak, with "not contemplating" when the working should be "Will never violate human rights by mandating injections."

Not saying you're wrong mell and frankly didn't take the time to read the links, but my BIL is on a plane to the UK right now. Dropped them this morning. His team he plays for required him to get the jab. He's a dense Canadian, but that's what he told me. Could have been a Canadian border crossing thing as well from the US into Canada. So maybe he was confused about "requirement" if I was asking about UK or Canada.

Either way just happy they're out of my damn house. Love family, but Christ I cannot stand feeling like people are watching me. The wife is enough.

Canada is prob worse than the US or the same. Also just because an employer is global or based overseas doesn't mean they cannot require mandates for their US based workers, sadly. But most won't do that except for a few big ones for fear of talent drain.

I don't like any of it either way. He already had covid and so did his previous team (100% of them) when he was in Austria where they got trapped for a year. No one died or even went to a doc.

My nephew was born and just got to see him since he was a baby around May and he's now about 2. So had a nephew trapped in a foreign country that I never met until May. All this shit is so fucked up. His job is as an athlete, but now we don't get to see them for 9 months again now. I'm not a huge family person, but it sucks we lost summer of 2020 to see them and our nephew over a flu. A flu their whole family got.
