I do not agree with vax mandates.
For any vaccine, because I do not believe the authorities have any authority except that which you give them. You are free not to use Caesars currency. You are free not to send your children to a school that requires vaccinations.
The state requires you to wear a seatbelt. Should your medical\car insurance not pay out if you don't wear one? Should you be liable for the damage your body did to the other occupants in the car if you didn't wear it?
The answer is yes. You are liable because you knew better.
As a society we need to enforce self consistent policies with regard to risk reward and inconvenience, and covid has exposed a lot of inconsistencies.
I do not believe you should be liable for spreading covid because it's too difficult to get sufficient proof on who gave it to who.
In contrast: if you gave your coworkers Ebola (after you're already obviously sick with it), I would expect God to charge you with their blood.
