Today we instituted a policy that coming to the office or job site requires either vax or negative rapid test from the testing center down the street.

i'm not a big fan of companies offering incentives not to vaccinate.
My work started with an “only come into the office if you’re vaccinated” and pretty quickly moved to “only come to work events if you’re vaccinated.” So I think it didn’t take them long to realize that missing out on free food and booze is a much better motivator.
Are they asking for some proof of vaccination or is it on your honor?

We had to upload a photo of our vaccine card to some website after we received both injections.
Same.

Full remote work won’t be an option as of October, so it isn’t likely to operate that way

Sad and disturbing that people are this kind of angry.

https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1432470273488474113

I was thinking about this and I get my hometown newspaper delivered (thanks mom!) and there was like ZERO debate about masks this school year because it was like duh no masks.

I did learn from the local paper that school buses are considered public transportation and there is a federal requirement to wear masks on public transportation. The school board mentioned that other districts were sending letters questioning that interpretation so that was also something our district was going to do. (you know the important stuff).

They also made sure to ban critical race theory, I think in the same meeting! Again, it did not appear to be debated whatsoever.
Another one for the idiocracy file. Antivaxxers shutting down vaccination sites. Absolutely disgusting.

Sadly, that's happening all over the country. I've also seen cases of that in California and Missouri.

so much for "freedom"

reminds me of this guy that was making the rounds yesterday

People objecting to temporary and situation-specific mask rules is so wild to me.

I can understand the complaint that it's uncomfortable or kind of annoying but can't understand the complaint that it's child abuse

Wearing a mask is definitely more uncomfortable and annoying than not wearing a mask and it's one of many things about this once-in-a-century global pandemic.

I don't think any of it is about vaccines, masks, or any covid stuff in particular. They're mad about something more general. I don't know what. Whatever usual stuff triggers the conservative brain I guess.

Well, these people believe they and their kids are systematically abused every day. Masks are just the abuse they are suffering from at the moment.

But the degree of their anger is what I find sad and disturbing. They're itching for some sort of violent revolution.

Vaccines are not political. You really think companies are making vaccine decisions due to their leaders political leanings? For serious or just gE?

Vaccines are not political but myself and the rest of #blueanonGe are going to incessantly talk about what they think is the political persuasion of those that aren't getting the vax and when someone brings up the lagging vax rates in likely non MAGA populations I and the rest of #blueanonGe will get super triggered (Phil "it's not about politics, but it's always about politics" Titola)

FYI:  The CDC doesn't even know the race of tens of millions of people who have received the vax, but suffice it say, in #blueanonGe world, none of those unknown vax recipients are conservatives.

Yeah, that's why so many are requiring vaccines.

As you know, I’m Team Moderna and I tell all my friends and family to get Moderna chips if they have a chance but we need to know if higher antibodies levels actually translate into patient-oriented outcomes like less missed work, less days in hospital, less death vs other vaccines.

I think it’s probably why anecdotally it seemed like Moderna people got really sick more often. Which was a good thing apparently!

CDC recommends not switching up.

Don’t listen to some #blueanonGe.   

Going to get Pfizer at earliest opportunity
