With regard to the recent article “Alaska businesses largely pleased with court ruling on vaccine requirements,” published in the ADN Jan. 16: I noticed a lot of input from businesses, business organizations and right-wing politicians on how happy they are with not having to have any vaccine or mask requirements. It makes sense they would want minimize their expense; after all, they want to maximize profits and Republicans will always side with big business. It would have been nice if the article’s author had talked with the workers who do the actual work, and will now get sick (and some will die). They call it government overreach and a “liberty” issue; meanwhile, workers suffer.
