Loading player...

The topic has come under intense scrutiny since Adrian Gore, founder of Discovery, said that all 10,000 strong of the conglomerate's workforce would be required to be vaccinated. This violates an individuals freedom of choice, says Papenfus, who strongly encourages employers to take a different approach.

Besides violating a persons freedom of choice, Papenfus goes a step further and states that mandatory vaccination is morally incorrect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
