Last week my company announced vaccine mandate with full vaccination required by 10/4/21 (or you will be terminated). My office staff participated in #walkoutwednesday this week (Along with a few hundred other people across our company) and this evening the local news reported that my employer, a large healthcare network in the region, has “added another exemption” and extended the deadline for employees to get fully vaccinated. The added exemption is an antibody test showing COVID antibodies. So, I realize this isn’t what we want yet, but a small amount of protesting has yielded a small amount of change and now they’ve given us more time to really ramp up the pressure! Since most of the network is already short staffed I can’t imagine they can easily fire all the dissenters. And people are really ready to lose their jobs over this!
I also would add — don’t assume your large employer has their legal ducks in a row over this because my company (15,000 employees) has embarrassed themselves more than once by rolling out things that had to be retracted due to legal issues. Use the resources on GAW to put up a hell of a battle.
Stick together and fight!!
Remember chicken pox parties when we were a kid?
What about Covid parties, with the take-home favor is that Ivermectin horse paste tunes? ;)
When my 2 older brothers had chicken pox and measles, my mom told me to go play with them. LOL I was around 6 or 7 yo at the time.
I had both chicken pox & measles also. My two older kids had chicken pox when they were small. My oldest got it from school (maybe 8 yrs old at the time), then she gave it to my middle child who was about 4-5 yrs old (just before he would have gone into kindergarten). That was fun taking care of 2 kids with chicken pox at the same time. I didn't even get pregnant with our youngest until after that so she ended up getting the chicken pox vaccine, and has never had it. She was even around a child that had chicken pox for hours and she never got it.
I had the chicken pox vaccine as a child and never got it despite being in close contact with others who had it, but I did have a shingles outbreak in my teens. :/
My 1950 mom took me to a party I was 3 but knew something was wrong I asked her don't we need a gift she said it's not that kind of party We get there and the girl there ha a party dress on and ate up w pox Everyone had to drink from her glass Now I risk shingles
Damn....now that's awful!
Hell we had measles parties at my church when I was a kid. Measles really isn’t a big deal.
It’s kinda funny through all this that I have had all sorts of shit and what genuinely sucks the most? Flu.
Flu. Always. Sucks.
