Yup, and just like clockwork, MA Correction Officers' Federated Union says it's "pursuing all legal and legislative remedies at [its] disposal" to oppose an executive order requiring state employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 .......... even though this is precisely the setting where this is appropriate, like nursing homes

http://www.mcofu.com/docs/MCOFUs%20M...%20MANDATE.pdf

Who’d have thought that these snowflakes, who weren’t even good enough to reach the low bar to be a real cop, would end up chest thumping again based on a lack of reasoning or critical thinking skills?

Muh freedom!!

Nice let's just belittle people based on their profession and perhaps lack of opportunities.

Plenty of nurses and EMTs out there aren't getting the vaccine either. All the losers in life are refusing the vaccine as far as this forum is concerned.

Doctors and RNs are getting the vaccine. Most of the refusers are people with clinical experience, but minimal education like LPNs, phlebotomists, and EMTs. Those are valuable jobs, but their training is in the practice and requires little to no experience with research. You can become an EMT with just a few weeks of training - it was a popular thing at my high school to train as an EMT as a summer job in a local tourist area.

Not all of them are.

You're missing my point as well. The poster above felt the need to attack correction officers as not being capable of becoming cops first of all which he really has no idea about. Then I guess he's blasting all corrections officers as being anti vaccine. Way too much elitism here.

Very interesting. I don't want to make judgments about their intelligence, because I have a friend who's a Middlesex corrections officer. He was offered the vax very early...back in January...and told me that he would be declining it. I didn't push the issue at the time, but now I do wonder if his attitude is more indicative of how the whole union feels.

The corrections officer union is opposing vaccine mandates, so I think it's safe to say that most correction officers are anti-vaccine.


There's no elitism in saying that not all opinions are equal, and that those without an advanced education in epidemiology, medicine, public health, and/or research do not have a leg to stand on compared to those who do.



I don't know about you, but I want my doctor to be an elitist! I seek out the best doctors I can find from the best med schools with the best residencies. They should be elite if we're putting out trust in them!

With Judges all being over a certain age... good luck finding a fair and impartial judge to uphold their rights.

Masks are back for public indoor spaces in Boston now.

Ok so let's just call all corrections officers dumb since that's where this is going. Anyone who isnt college educated must be refusing the vaccine.
