Well it is not surprising that 0.35% or so of every workforce are idiots who need to see the door. United Airlines says it's down to only 232 employees who face termination for defying its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for 67,000 workers https://news.yahoo.com/united-airlines-says-down-only-191959239.html
Corporate America is not putting up with plague rats. Today's example... Red Hat CEO: Employees must be vaccinated or lose their jobs https://www.wraltechwire.com/2021/10/07/red-hat-ceo-employees-must-be-vaccinated-or-lose-their-jobs/ Employees as well as contractors at Red Hat were told Thursday morning that they must be vaccinated against COVID-19 or lose their jobs. Deadline to get a vaccine jab is Nov. 29. So said CEO Paul Cormier in an email and blog post. “To comply with new U.S. government regulations mandating that employees of federal contractors be vaccinated against COVID-19. As a government contractor, Red Hat must and will require all associates and contractors in the United States to be vaccinated,” Cormier wrote. To add emphasis to the news, the sentence was bold faced in the blog. Red Hat is not alone in requiring vaccinations or workers losing jobs. So does software firm SAS in Cary. Other firms, such as Cree [now named Wolfspeed] are offering incentives to employees in order to get vaccinated. Red Hat, which is part of IBM, is based in downtown Raleigh. It has some 2,500 workers in the Raleigh area. “Red Hat’s top priority remains the health and safety of our associates,” Cormier wrote. “Throughout the pandemic, we have encouraged vaccination globally, given associates time off to get vaccinated, sponsored vaccination clinics, covered the cost of vaccination for associates in countries where a free vaccine was not available, and required vaccination for associates re-entering offices.” The vaccine requirement is “another important step” toward safety, he added. “Red Hat supports the view that vaccination is the best way to contribute to ending the pandemic, and we are demonstrating our commitment to keeping our colleagues, customers, and communities safe,” Cormier continued. “In order to comply, by November 29, 2021, associates and contractors must demonstrate proof of full vaccination as a requirement for continued employment.” This sentence also was bold faced. “This requirement extends to all U.S. associates and contractors no matter if they work from a Red Hat office, a customer or partner site, or are fully remote,” Cormier added. There will be some exceptions, but those are limited, he noted. “In keeping with government requirements, frequent testing or recovery from COVID-19 will not be accepted in lieu of vaccination. We are working to set up a convenient, privacy-sensitive process for associates to submit their proof of vaccination or accommodation request, with additional details to come,” Cormier said.
As pretty much everyone on Earth knew would happen, even the most loudly anti-vax plague rats are rolling up their sleeves and getting the shot once they realize that "we're going to fire you from your job" isn't a bluff. So much conviction. Such bravery. Faced with losing their jobs, even the most hesitant are getting vaccinated https://www.npr.org/2021/10/07/1043...ndates-success-workers-get-shots-to-keep-jobs
Corporate America no longer putting up with plague rats. No jab, no pay. IBM says all U.S. employees must be vaccinated by Dec. 8 or face unpaid suspension https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/07/ibm...-be-vaccinated-or-face-unpaid-suspension.html

The utter stupidity of extreme liberal Democrats including, ET trolls such as GWB in full display here. Remember, the mantra that vaccines will protect us and enable us to open up and do everything as before? Now, everyone knows that is a big fat lie, in addition to lies about Ivermectin. Here is actual proof vaccines offer little protection if any. Singapore who is 83% vaccinated, is now experiencing huge numbers of infections. Explain that GWB, wanna be doctor. Why? https://www.yahoo.com/news/had-vaccines-plan-reopen-instead-120803845.html
I rarely read anything from GXB. It just smacks of what we have said all along---that this is a government power grab and belittles Americans and their liberty.
Maybe you should stop continually pushing misinformation and fabricated narratives. Singapore has a full vaccination rate currently of 80.8% for two doses plus 14 days. Their plan to re-open fully when the vaccination rate passed 80% -- was made before the advent of Delta. The country now recognizes they need a 90% vaccination rate for herd immunity against the highly infectious delta variant -- hence a delay in re-opening. The country also has had a zero-Covid strategy which they want to ease away from as part of a re-opening. You should note that Singapore is only experiencing 3000 daily cases (7 day average) in a county of 5.7 million. Why don't you compare that to the recent peaks in states like Mississippi with half the population. Despite a rise in cases (which are still much lower than the U.S. on a per-capita basis) the vaccines have been very effective at keeping people out of the hospital. It should also be noted that nearly all of the severely ill in Singapore are unvaccinated. Singapore attempted to re-open when the country passed the 80% threshold and their experience is a cautionary tale for other countries that the herd immunity threshold in the face of Delta is 90%.
The primary purpose of Trump administration (Operation Warp Speed) vaccines was to prevent Hospitalization, ICU admissions, and Deaths. Now that the vaccine distribution under Biden's administration is in full swing despite the vaccine hesitancy of those Not Vaccinated...Trump's vaccine is still accomplishing its primary objective... Most of those in North America's hospitals are those Not Vaccinated and not those that are fully vaccinated. Operation Warp Speed vaccines are working very well here in North America. Yet, there are fake vaccine supporters pretending they only have an issue with the mandates when in fact they turned sour on the vaccines when Biden won the U.S. Presidential election. Many need to stop pretending everything will go back to normal because of vaccines. Instead, come to grips that this is a new normal as it was stated it will be in the first few months of the Pandemic. The damage was done before vaccines. In my opinion, it's going to take 2 - 3 years to repair and that's being optimistic. Voting Trump out of the oval office, has us going in the right direction out of this Pandemic and in the right direction in encouraging people to do what it takes to protect the welfare, health and safety of those in their community. wrbtrader
