Our dear leader is at it again (insurance, how much)

There has been a vaccination requirement for all state employees since October 18, 2021. This seems to just be adding CDC recommended boosters. I would think that by now anyone opposed to vaccination will have quit or been fired already, those left have been vaccinated and are probably not opposed to boosters. My employer (not the state) required full vaccination (but not boosters) and had about 90 resignations. Those have all been replaced now, plus additional openings for retirees and new positions.

Many people (if not the majority) who got the initial two doses don't want to get more shots. Especially the ones who got the infection shouldn't be treated the same way as someone who has never had it (few of those left anyway). The pandemic is long gone everywhere except Asia and a few US states mainly on the west coast. People have moved on and Covid is not a topic of discussion.

His brain is basically composed of loose gravel. What were you expecting at this point?

I mean, they aren’t being forced to take the shot. They are free to leave. Entirely constitutional. The SCOTUS has upheld it and turned away every appeal because states have this power and the science is being followed. We all benefit from it. Good governance should be and is being rewarded. I have more and more faith in Inslee every day, though I didn’t know much about him before this all started.

What do you expect out of Democrats these days. The rally cry is COVID, ID Voter Racism, Ultra Maga and Trumpism. You notice they never run on anything positive.

Talk about projection.

Lovely. Now explain to us why the states where vaccination levels were low had just about the same number (per capita) of infections and deaths as the states where everyone vaccinated, and wore masks, and closed businesses, and fired people who weren't vaccinated..


I suggest that you expand your sources of information before you drink the koolaid, to make sure that the koolaid is what you really want. If you study a few opposing sources first and then decide you really want that koolaid, that is your decision. But right now you sound like a paid public service announcement from the Bureau of Truth.


..... oh, wait. Are you employed by the government?

I think he may be a programmed A.I. bot like ones you see on twitter. Their conversational skills are limited and predictable. There are certain scripts they simply won't deviate from despite new information.

Ok, as an A.I. bot, I will bite. Where are your data proving your assertion? Have you examined it for timelines and trends over time (initial Covid, delta wave, omicron wave, more recent omicron variants, etc?)

Please present an opposing resource that proves your point. I’d be happy to review and discuss.

This is sad. You know this is a lie. We’ve had plenty of conversations on this forum. I’d say it’s beneath you, but maybe you are a bot?? lol.

The reason I don’t vary much in my posts is that the evidence in favor of vaccinations is rather simple and basic. Just studies where vaccines are given to control and study groups and then counting cases and severity over time. People who are vaccinated have better outcomes, all else being the same.

If we did a study and found the opposite, I’d be happy to report that too… haven’t seen it (thankfully).
