South Carolina House Backpedals on Banning Companies From Firing Unvaxxed Employees

On Thursday, the South Carolina House of Representatives passed a bill banning some COVID-19 vaccine mandates but removed the proposal that would ban private companies from being allowed to fire employees who refuse to get the vaccine.

Members of the South Carolina House debated for over five hours on the matter but ultimately Republican leadership removed the ban for private businesses. Instead, they added businesses would pay unemployment benefits to employees if they were fired for refusing to be vaccinated.

"It's a question of if anybody should be able to make you inject something into your body without your own will," Republican Steward Jones said during the debate.

The bill bans state and local governments from implementing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on employees, contractors and students attending public schools.
