I am a healthcare worker in the IT field, 100% remote. CMS mandated the vax and my hospital told me on thanksgiving eve that we would be terminated in December if no vax or approved exemption. It gets shut down temporarily then upheld in court for CMS hospitals only. After the “dark winter”, the day after spring starts everything starts to go away. Just yesterday they “re reviewed” my previously denied exemption and approved it and I can now go back to work. Was it all methodical to force as many as they could through scare tactics all this time knowing they wouldn’t go through with it?

Exactly - sounds like my hometown! And they are even offering big bonuses for those who get hired - one caveat though - you have to be vaccinated or get an exemption. I doubt many get the exemption!
You know how these corporations have been complaining about how hard it has been to find and keep employees over the past couple of years? I have a lot of theories about why, one of the biggest being why would anyone bother applying for a job if there is a possibility that having the vaccine is part of it?
I've been saying the same about masks, too. I can't imagine working somewhere like a greasy fast food joint and having even more issues breathing because you have to inhale that greasy air through a face diaper your entire shift.
Exactly! And even the damn supreme court upheld it was OK for healthcare to continue to require a EUA covid vaccine - and here in Illinois - we also have to have the flu shot - even for those of us NOT in patient care! It's RIDICULOUS!
