A person has the right to refuse vaccination.  That is correct.  Although, an individual's position (i.e. freedom) ends where another begins.  What does that mean exactly?  A recent court case exemplifies the above statement in a ruling.

Houston Methodist Hospital employees sued their employer (i.e, the hospital) for their rights to refuse to receive a vaccination.  Approximately 100 employees sued the hospital.   A judge came back with a ruling that basically said that a hospital is a place of restoration (i.e., healing) therefore, the workers need to provide the safest environment.  That means each worker should be vaccinated.

MSNBC's Morning Joe Hosts bring an update in the video below on the ruling in favor of the hospital:

People's rights are a continuing battle for workplace employers and consumers.  Who has the right to refuse service?  Can I refuse service in favor of my religious rights/beliefs?  Do I have to obey the rules of the workplace that violate my beliefs?  

The questions can be tough.  Although, an overall question/statement can be the following:

No one is forcing you to work at a given place.  The employees of the Houston hospital are not forced to work at that specific hospital.  Go work somewhere else.
