The Delta variant emerged from the 1.4 billion UNVACCINATED people in India a year ago. It is twice as contagious as prior variants and the original virus.
The Omicron variant emerged from the 1.2 billion UNVACCINATED in Africa. It is twice as contagious as Delta.
There seems to be a pattern,here.
Putting a bubble , no one in/ out , over the US for 2+Years would not be practical.
The first confirmed case of Covid in the US was a person who recently had returned from Wuhan, China in January, 2020. Within weeks, it was detected in all states.
China quarantined Wuhan and surrounding cities. No one could enter or leave. This was before the US and other countries restricted ( never banned) travel from China. The US did not restrict travel from European hot spots and millions, including returning Americans, continued to freely enter the US and NYC was the first to be hit hard.
Several countries, temporarily restricted international arrivals from anywhere. This includes Israel, Australia and New Zealand. Within days of lifting restrictions, Covid re-emerged. All it takes is one.
Any reference to Bill Gates says more about those who try to connect fake dots between Covid and Gates than it does anything about Gates. Bring on the space lasers.
Do you trace that pattern of yours back to a lab leak in Wuhan?

Thread Title: Will states like FL and TX ever succumb to vaccine mandates for employment?
Since everybody now knows the vaccines allow infection and spread, to put it mildly, the vaccine mandates (aimed at preventing infection and spread) are a dingbat effort.
(The mitigating effects of the vaccine on the vaccinated are a separate and distracting issue and have nothing to do with the employment mandates. Look! Squirrel! )

Pretty authoritarian signing an EO against PRIVATE companies not being allowed to do what is in the best interest of the safety of all of their employees.
Bet you don't see that hypocrisy of calling it freedom.
It’s Law and certainly not hypocrisy to actually cite the exact wording of the Civil Rights Act in a Texas E.O.to the Texas Workforce Commission for employers and employees.
“Reasonable accommodations for …. (1) Sincerely held religious beliefs (2) medical exemptions
Those words are in Governor Abbott’s E.O. And the Workforce guidelines that an employee must be informed of the E.O. In no way does the E.O. Force an employer to hire a person they don’t want to hire.
The Civil Rights Act does not force an Employer to hire anyone, they just may use discriminatory practices.

Thanks for posting that. These Federal Mandates are being challenged by many States, in most cases they are ruled Un-Constitutional. The US Supreme Court is going into a Special session to settle this.
Everyone knows those vaccinated and now boosted, are substantially less likely to develop serious Covid, require hospitalization and die.
Yet they are still able to infect others. Plus, think about it for a minute, will you, please? No one knows what deleterious side effects from the mRNA vaccines will show up years after being vaccinated. Ponder that
Starbucks announced today that all employees must either be vaccinated or tested weekly. This applies to employees in all states including Florida and Texas.
Everyone knows those vaccinated and now boosted, are substantially less likely to develop serious Covid, require hospitalization and die.
Substantially less than statistically irrelevant is still statistically irrelevant.
