3M is a private sector company. America's version of capitalism is centered around the idea of businesses having their own rights, and one of those rights is the right to discriminate. If a cake company doesn't want to sell a gay couple a cake, that's discrimination. The justification for that being acceptable is that businesses have their own right to choose how they conduct business. If an employer states that you can't work for them unless you're vaccinated, that's also discrimination. The justification is the same.

You can't be in favor of one of those things and opposed to the other and be logically consistent. So you have one of two options:

a) Be against all kinds of discrimination, including unvaxxed worker discrimination. At that point you're saying that the government should step in and regulate businesses and tell them who they can and can't sell to, who they can and can't hire, etc. and that comes with all the string attached to big governments.

b) Support business rights. The only way to do this is to leave your employer that's asking you to get the vaccine and then find a job that won't require you to be vaccinated. That's just how free market capitalism works. People who are unvaccinated have the right to seek jobs elsewhere, create their own businesses, and boycott companies who require vaccinations. Ultimately either the vaccinated companies will implode due to lack of workers and customers or the plight of the unvaccinated will just be unsuccessful causing many of them to choose between getting vaccinated or struggling financially.

I'm actually not really that opinionated on which is better between choice a or choice b. I think they both have pros and cons, but you can't spend your entire life being in favor of B and now decide you want A because for the first time in your life those discrimination policies are affecting you. That's hypocritical and ignorant. That's what the majority of conservatives and libertarians are doing right now.

But if we're talking about government jobs, that's a different story. I am actually opposed to the U.S. government mandating vaccines for federal workers, but it has less to do some big conspiracy that the government is trying to strip people of their rights and more to do with the inevitable fallout that would happen in the political and economic landscape if that were to happen.

We're on a rollercoaster. You're strapped in, and nobody's gonna be stopping the ride for you anytime soon.
