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.

How does “my body, my choice” sound? Or does that only apply to the segment of the population that “coined” the phrase, and only in a specific circumstance?
And how does one work for another company if that company is also under the direction of the mandate by virtue of having 100 or more employees? Well there you go, just work for a company with less than 100 employees and the mandate doesn’t apply. Wait, what? Yep, the rule proposal under OSHA doesn’t cover those businesses. If the mandate doesn’t apply to those companies, then maybe Covid is not the killer it is made out to be (which the data ACTUALLY SHOWS). Or maybe, since OSHA rules don’t apply to smaller companies, a work around to avoid judicial review hasn’t been identified yet.
Since “choice is good”, perhaps those who are vaccinated and wearing masks but still fear the virus should consider their choices such as double and triple masking if one doesn’t feel safe enough. They could also choose to get a booster as often as they feel their antibodies are declining. How could they tell? Simple, get tested every week and keep a log of the results.
BTW, I do support businesses making decisions based upon their determination of what will work best for them. I can then decide if I wish to work for or patronize that business. How likely would it be that an airline would require an employee to get a vaccination or lose their job in a vacuum? Highly unlikely that they would provide their competitors with the option to pick up already trained personnel to fill their openings.
Unfortunately the “fear porn” has been successful and people’s emotions are getting the better of them.
