Corporate America to workers: Get vaccinated or get out
Get the shot or take a hike.
After months of reluctance, Corporate America is taking a stand on keeping its returning workers safe. A growing number of companies are requiring vaccinations for employees and in some cases, for clients and customers.
Most companies are allowing for very rare religious and health exemptions, of course. But the "I read something scary on Facebook" excuse doesn't apply anymore.
Silicon Valley is leading the way. Facebook and Google announced all employees returning to the office must be vaccinated.
Wall Street offices are filling up fast. And vaccines are required. The financial sector says get vaxxed or find a new job. BlackRock (BLK) and Morgan Stanley (MS) announced all employees must be vaccinated to return to the office.
It's a diverse list. Saks Fifth Avenue, the Washington Post, Ascension Health, and Lyft (LYFT) are also requiring the shot to work.
It's good business. Johnny Taylor, Jr, of the Society of Human Resource Management, says most employees want vaccine mandates. They want to know their workplace is safe when people return. His polling shows nearly 70% of employees want their colleagues to be vaccinated. And patience has worn thin with the vaccine-hesitant.
"You must be vaccinated if you want to come to work," he tells me. "There are some organizations that are trying one more step before that. They're saying, if you choose not to be vaccinated, then you will have to be tested several times during the week on your own dime. And you will have to wear a mask in the workplace and not any mask, but that N95 surgical mask. I mean, we are going to, at the end of the day, make this a little uncomfortable for you because you're making it uncomfortable and the workplace less comfortable for your colleagues."
The Federal Reserve chief, Jerome Powell, says that vaccinations are key to protect the economy from coronavirus variants.
"These strains - there is no reason they can't keep coming, and one more powerful than the next. We don't know that, but that's certainly a plausible outcome. As vaccinations rise we can nonetheless get back to our economic activity," Powell said Wednesday.
The Delta variant of the virus has many companies tweaking their return to the office plans. Many had hoped to have employees back after Labor Day, now some are pushing back later into the fall. But they are signaling that vaccines will be required.
Plan accordingly.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
The Post notes that the CDC justified its revised mandate by noting that "people who have had their shots and become infected with the delta variant of the coronavirus can harbor large amounts of virus just like unvaccinated people. That means they could become spreaders of the disease...."
So much for the vaccine "protecting you from getting the virus" (as Joe biden said). Looks like vaccinated people are carrying as much of the virus as unvaccinated people. LOL!!!! That's what you call a FAIL!
The Vaccines aren't for healthy people with robust immune systems like me.
The Vaccines are for people that might otherwise DIE if they caught this, OR ANY, virus! This includes Weak/Old/Frail people, people with immune deficiencies, Fat-asses, and people with underlying/pre-exisiting health problems like Leukemia, COPD, Heart issues, etc.OmertÃComment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
As everyone has said from the original deployment of the vaccine. It will NOT prevent you from becoming infected, it will greatly lessen your chances of becoming seriously ill or dying from the virus.
Please STOP spreading lies. It certainly isn't helping.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ok Zuckerberg!
As I said in my last post (if you would actually read it and comprehend it), Joe Biden told us that the vaccine would "Protect you from Catching Covid"......his words, not mine.
As I also said in my last post.....the vaccine is for people "who would otherwise DIE from this, OR ANY, virus.".
So, I'm not "spreading lies" as you say.....just perspective.
The Vaccines aren't for otherwise healthy people, they are for the weak/frail/old/fat/immune compromised and the data and science back that statement up!OmertÃComment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Some screwed up Thinking
Take a Vaccine that can save your life
Wear a Mask so you don't spread a deadly airborne disease.
Even a 5 year old can understand that!Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
What you believe or don't believe is of no consequence to me. Get a vaccine, don't get a vaccine. Whatever floats your boat.
As everybody knows, the vaccine will NOT prevent you from contracting covid, it will greatly lessen the chance of serious illness or death for everyone who gets it.
I'm not even going to get into your ridiculous mask statement.Comment
