Over last few days; there is indication that certain aviation companies are looking into making the COVID vaccine mandatory for their employees. I strongly believe that this is a potential security risk; due to the fact that if an individual is forced to do something against their will; they might fight back. In the aviation industry; as history has shown so well; there is a strong possibility that airplane safety might be compromised; especially by individuals that have direct access to the unsecured aircraft; such as gate agents; operations personnel; mechanics; and ground handlers.Due to the significant safety concerns; I strongly urge the FAA to prohibit mandatory vaccinations.
