I think that the legal argument would be, the employer sets requirement, you have the choice between accepting the terms or leaving the job. The liability would be on the medical side, and the vaccine manufacturers have been exempted from responsiblity. So you get f'ed.
Absolutely illegal. It would be medical discrimination were they to prevent an unvaccinated (sane) person from working.

What about the liability implications? If my employer forces me to get the vaccine and I then get permanently damaged from it, who's liable?
You.

I’d like to see them try me.
