What the petition asks
During the COVID pandemic, the implementation of the vaccine rollout was voluntary and vaccines were rolled out quickly for emergency use. Manufacturers have been granted immunity from liability for damages caused by the vaccines, although compensation is available from the Government.
A number of employers have started requiring staff to undertake the medical procedure of becoming vaccinated in order to continue employment.
As this means the employer asserting themselves over an employee's personal autonomy, responsibility is being assumed by the business/ establishment, and they should be held liable for any and all damages proven to be caused by being vaccinated.
Freedom of choice and personal autonomy is a human right and if employees are required to be vaccinated to continue their employment then there should be clear rights to financial compensation for any adverse consequences.
