    From the "Knewz" article (whoever the hell they are).

    While many vaccinated survey members are taking a harsh stand against family members not yet inoculated, 58 percent of the respondents did say they’ll still welcome the unvaccinated to family get-togethers
    A bit at odds with the claim in the title. What. a. suprise.

    This doctor compares getting an experimental vaccine which can kill you or have adverse effects to a seat belt? Are these doctors really that dumb? Or are they merely, acting dumb? Wearing a seat belt will not kill you by itself. Apples to oranges comparision. She also, does not note that we all have one life and each person should decide what is right for him or her based on his or her health conditions and the chances that the vaccine will harm him or her. Why is she acting like a fascist for one saying, we should not politicize the vaccines? This doctor and her ilk are what is wrong with the medical professsion. You have no right to ask people to risk their lives needlessly. ET trolls will agree with her 100,000% but, they do not know any better. They will lap up any extreme liberal talking points in extremely biased, extreme liberal media hacks and take what they say as fact.

    The vaccine mandate is working out very well for United Airlines -- it also allows the company to eject employees who don't share the company's values.

    United Airlines CEO says vaccine mandate helped transform the company’s culture
    https://fortune.com/2021/11/18/unit...-kirby-covid-vaccine-mandate-employee-safety/

    Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines, thought mandating vaccines would be pretty "straightforward, obvious, and clearly just the right thing to do."

    That, of course, was not how many people around the U.S. responded to the rollout of vaccine mandates at companies and for federal employees.

    But Kirby says he and the rest of his management team were "open, honest, and transparent about communicating with our team that it was 100% about safety." That led to 99.7% of employees getting vaccinated within eight weeks.

    "It has become actually a point of pride for the people of United Airlines, rather than being controversial. In some ways [it's] been transformative to the kind of culture that we want to have going forward at United," Kirby says.

    As for the other .3%?

    "Well, the .3%, unfortunately, are going to be leaving United Airlines and moving on to some other career," he says. "When we say safety is our number-one core value, we mean it. We don't compromise on safety. We don't compromise on any safety initiatives."

    Masks are still required on Greyhound buses -- I am sure the anti-vax Covid-denier passengers will still be throwing a fit.

    Austria re-imposes a full Covid lockdown and makes vaccination mandatory

    Published Fri, Nov 19 20214:50 AM EST

    Key Points

    • Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced that Covid vaccination would become mandatory in Austria from Feb. 1.
    • On Thursday, Austria recorded 15,145 new cases of Covid-19, setting a new record high for daily positive tests.

    Austria will enter a fourth national lockdown on Monday as Covid-19 cases continue to surge.

    The country’s unvaccinated are already barred from leaving their homes for non-essential purposes.

    Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced at a press conference on Friday that those lockdown measures would be extended to the entire country from Monday.

    The lockdown would last for a maximum of 20 days, Schallenberg said.

    He also announced that Covid vaccination would become mandatory in Austria from Feb. 1.

    On Thursday, Austria recorded 15,145 new cases of Covid-19, setting a new record high for daily positive tests.

    Around 65% of Austria’s population has been fully vaccinated against the virus, which Schallenberg has previously described as “shamefully low.” The country has the second-lowest vaccination rate in western Europe after Liechtenstein.

    The Austrian Press Agency reported that government ministers were negotiating into the early hours of Friday to come up with action that could help curb Austria’s spiraling Covid crisis.
    ----------

    Austria Covid hospitalization has primarily been those not vaccinated. :(

    But Prof Eva Schernhammer, of the Medical University of Vienna, said the measures were needed, warning that hospital intensive care units were filling up. "It's already projected that within two weeks we'll have reached the limit," she said.

    Unvaccinated people
    were already barred from visiting restaurants, hairdressers and cinemas, but will now be expected to stay at home.

    Simply, those not vaccinated (around 2 million people) in Austria has been fucking up everything for everybody else that lives in Austria.
