If ATCs are having problems, things go to shit real fast at a busy airport, even with the best pilots in the world at the control of every plane in the vicinity. Yes, they have to have secondaries, etc if a primary staff person somehow has an incident or becomes incapacitated or loses focus in some way. But add staffing shortages as well?
A recipe for disaster.. which is why flights are getting cancelled. Even managers idiotic enough to do vax mandates dont want to see thousands dead due to planes crashing.
They could've called in the Navy's ATC's from FASFAC, NAS JAX, but didn't. They've done it before during FAA " staffing emergencies." Military ATC's are FAA certified. Why not this time?
If a vaccinated pilot died in flight from a negative reaction and the plane crashed I guarantee the CDC would count all deaths as "Covid realated".

That's why they shouldn't mandate it.

not enough Military ATCs who got the Jab? just a guess =/
There's a FANG base at the airport. They share the runways.
Lying by omission. The jab is related to COVID-19, after all
