You were forced? If I remember correctly, you voluntarily chose to take a well-paying contract job in California, knowing all its b.s., and still chose to stay on even during covid. That's on you no matter how you play it.
And, before you play it, just remember all the great benefits of living there too.

Sometimes we all pay tax dollars towards goods and services we politically (or medically) object to. It's the American way.
Sure, nobody was "forced" to get the shot but they (the government) started walking down the path of stripping your rights away and preventing you of doing common everyday things if you didn't get the shot.
Can't be get a job at a business with 100 or more employees with out getting the shot.
Can't attend public schools, colleges or universities without getting the shot.
Can't fly on commercial aircraft without getting the shot.
Can't use public transportation without getting the shot.
Can't cross state lines without getting the shot.
Can't enter private establishments like restaurants, bars, movie theaters, concerts venues, stores etc...
Can't enter public buildings like a court house, town hall, libraries, RMV, etc...
And on and on...
These are facts, not opinion.
Sure, you weren't forced to get the shot but if you didn't they (the government) tried to take away many of your unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That phase sounds kinda familiar... Oh yeah... it's part of one of the most sacred documents in US, if not world, history. Our government tried to trample on it if you didn't get the shot.
