The age of corporate vaccination is coming.

The tactic is Microsoftian. If you win over the enterprise admin, who makes decisions for the entire business, then you gain the entire company. Once he or she decides, the employees don't get to refuse Windows. The chokepoint here is the CEO or a C-level decision maker. Employees won't get to refuse the "vaccine" either (hello Google and United). For some, this is already a reality (Walgreens).

For most of us, the corporate mandate has not arrived, but the pressure has. Out come the corporate lectures, social shaming, and bullying. If you want to keep your job, you'd better do what's right for everyone around you. (Never mind that at least some of your paycheck is paying you to put up with people you wouldn't put up with for free). Yet the solution being pushed will not stop infections, so what's the real agenda here?

How much sense does it make for people to freak out over something with a 99% survival rate? But let's say you decide to freak out. Is the answer to inject an experimental (non-FDA-approved) "vaccine" into your body, where the "vaccine" actually does not prevent you from acquiring the disease? Ok, say that you decide to go whole hog and let yourself be injected, because you decide that's what's right for you. However, when you see others around you asking questions and refusing to go along, you decide to put pressure on businesses to FORCE their employees to do what you did voluntarily? Prior to all this, I had some respect (not a lot, but some) for the anti-vaxxers. Now, I think they were eerily prescient.

People often see an extreme case and confuse the seriousness of the case (OMG, James is on a ventilator) with the frequency of the case. Look. If everyone is talking about James, it's because he's the only one whom it hit this hard. He's one case, not 3,000. Severity is not frequency. To have people who don't understand this (or won't understand it) in charge is terrifying.

We are being stampeded.

Businesses are much easier to control than individuals, especially businesses in heavily-regulated industries. They've already become used to being on a short leash. Through these businesses, they hope to control the individual, by holding our paycheck over our heads.

In all of this, history is the great teacher. The Black Death resulted in depopulated cities. People fled the controls of big city government, because they observed that rulers had no cures. They did whatever necessary to save their own lives, and the status quo went to the flames. They managed to conduct their business and live their lives away from the large centers of trade.

Businesses who refuse work-at-home policies will see their people leave in droves. You'd think that would be a wake-up call; things are not as they were. You'd think that would be celebrated by businesses, because it would result in greater safety for employees and lower costs (no need to maintain an office now), right? Yet instead of listening, many companies not only are forcing people who can work from home back to work in person, but are also pressuring them into taking a "vaccine". Why?

Fear. If these businesses don't go along with the government-pharmaceutical complex, then they won't get to continue to operate. There's also another cause -- managerial egotism. If managers cannot see employees, they think that no work is getting done. That this wars against their stated concern for employee health does not bother them. The first thing they do is jettison human liberty in favor of controlling employees. "Get back to work in person, and take this experimental vaccine!"

I can see rows of deserted cubicles and abandoned buildings materializing on the horizon.

Companies will rise; companies will fall. This is all part of the expansion and outworking of freedom, so it is unavoidable. Yet, any particular company does not have to be part of the corporate carnage. That so many choose to distrust and disrespect their employees, even to the point of hypocrisy, means that they choose oblivion. I do not mourn those companies; I cheer their demise.
