About 70 percent of unvaccinated Americans who are not self-employed said they would likely quit their job if their employer mandated COVID-19 vaccines and did not grant religious or medical exemptions, a new Washington Post/ABC News poll found.
Those numbers don’t suggest vaccine mandates would lead to a massive exodus from the workplace since a healthy majority of employees who are working at places that have yet to implement a mandate have already received their shots, anyway. But among the 30 percent or so who haven’t there is significant opposition. Only 16 percent from that group would comply with the mandate, while 35 percent said they would seek an exemption and 42 percent would leave. If there’s no exemption, then 72 percent of those surveyed said they would quit.
