Mandates don't require that you work for Southwest Airlines.

Both of those are optional. You can find some other method of transportation, and you can work for a different employer - or start your own business if you'd rather.

You can also get your surgery at a hospital that doesn't require you to be vaccinated. You can shop at a different supermarket that doesn't require you to be vaccinated.

Lots and lots of options. In fact, this is about as "pro-choice" as it gets. Previously, you didn't have a choice. You didn't have the option of flying on a plane where everyone was vaccinated. Now you do.

Choice is good.
I don't believe any domestic airline has mandatory vaccinations for passengers at this time. But no worries, Senator Feinstein is on it,

“Today I introduced legislation requiring passengers on domestic flights to be vaccinated, test negative or be fully recovered from a previous Covid illness.”

Hey look, she snuck "fully recovered" in there. That may tick off the mandatory vaxers. Personally, I would rather share a flight with 100% covid suvivors, but they would probably refuse me as I might be an asymptomatic carrier.

All these new rules are going to make air travel even more fun. Instead of getting to the airport 2-3 hours early it may be 5-6. Trains will be faster.
