Curious everyone’s thoughts. Seems to be a pretty middle of the road approach. I’m sure some will favor more stringent requirements while some will think they’re too tyrannical.
If you're a business, pretty much any kind of business, requiring the vaccine for your employees is almost a no-brainer. Fewer workers out sick and if you're a business that serves customers face-to-face, your customers will be reassured knowing your employees are all vaccinated.
Which airline would you want to spend 2 - 12 hours inside a metal tube with, the one with all of its employees vaccinated or one where you have no idea? Restaurant, same question. Grocery store, same question.

But do you then start charging more for obese employees? They’ll also miss more time/be out more than a healthy employee?

And obesity is an epidemic that will kill a hell of a lot more people than COVID could ever dream of.

Under provisions in the Affordable Care Act, 2014, employers can charge employees an extra 30 percent of the total cost (employer and employee portions) of individual or family health benefits coverage if they don't meet specific wellness goals, including body mass index (BMI).

obesity (and all illnesses that go along with it; heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc) are a much bigger issue in the US, I'd argue. and we do nothing about it/there are no consequences.

Just as insurers and companies offer discounts for things like trying to lose weight or stop smoking, they are also permitted to reduce the health insurance premiums that vaccinated employees pay.
In 2019, the average maximum incentive offered by employers for workers to participate in wellness activities was $783 per year.
they don't "pay more" they just don't get the incentive that workers that who do participate do. so, yes they in turn pay more.
my response was in response to delta airlines, where they make it sound like they themselves are actually adding a penalty to unvaccinated employees, which I was wondering how they could do.
if they just reduce the amount vaccinated pay, as they do in the wellness program in regards to obesity, then that would work. but that's not how I read it.
LOL, isn't that essentially the same thing? Penalizing the unvaxxed or rewarding the vaxxed. It's a net difference in insurance cost either way.
Also, with regard to obesity... my being fat won't potentially spread to those around me. And you are damn right I pay extra for my insurance because of my health issues.
