The company I work for has announced that all employees are required to be vaccinated or face termination. Other large employers have announced similar policies in the last couple days and more are expected in the days to come. I really hope we start seeing a lot of this play out:
The irony of the full circle vendiagram of the BUT-MY-MEDICAL-FREEDOM antivaxxers also being the pro-capitalism/anti-employee protection peeps having to suck it up and finally get their shots is really so beautiful.
Oh noooooo. This is how I learned of this horrible news. RIP, Jeopardy (in my heart).
OMG and for no reason they also added a spinoff hosted by trashbag Mayim Bialik? That's rough stuff.
yeah, it's kind of nuts they spent half a year auditioning nearly everyone in the TV world and then decided to pick the two most controversial people possible

Literally just googled "who the fuck is Mike Richards?" because just like Mariah Carey, I don't know her.
With all these fucking dingdongs running around... Is it too cynical of me to think keeping people poorly educated is intentional? Or am I just late to this realization?
My SIL works in a liberal area for a school and yet there are still unvaxxed enployees there. What she's told me sounds like just typical American arrogance, they think their immune systems are good enough. You'd think after 18 months of proof that anyone can get it is enough but fucking of course not.

I'm so disappointed in humanity to learn how many people who claim to be caring have literally proven they DGAF about spreading a life threatening illness around like wildfire. Because THEY allegedly have some god-level immune system. Make it make sense?!

I wear my mask on a certain production call always (with some times where we are outside and I take it off), because the producer believes that they are strong enough because they are both vaxxed and have anti-bodies from getting covid. Never took the mask thing too seriously unless the person interacting with was clearly perturbed. This is beyond liberal and conservative. Though there is a tilt

My show is crazy tight on covid protocol. Testing twice a week, masked up everywhere. My crew is not great about masks. And since it's construction and we're not at the production office, I just wear my mask consistently constantly. Because nobody else is.
These dumb asses aren’t my people. As JHOinTN said, richest county in the state. The same shits that would stomp their foot and ask if I knew WHO they were when I wouldn’t fill their Xanax 2 mg 7 days early.
I follow a small biz owner from the area and her and several friends formed a pro-mask group. They made a social media etc and I guess they at least ended up saying masks for the first month.
My favorite part/least favorite part is the ~9 months we spent telling out health care workers that they’re hero’s. Then when we as have an option to help them out, we decide they don’t know what they’re talking about because vaccine bad. And instead get admitted into the ER and tell nurses “get me a room you little whore, I’m dying out here” while coughing with your mask not covering your unvaccinated face.
I’ve said it before. They called them heroes only because they expect the health care workers to sacrifice themselves for them. I hope more healthcare starts walking out.

My father in law, who is not super political but culturally a little trumpy decided to get the vaccine yesterday.
What convinced him was two fold: the concerned but not aggressive prodding from my wife and his only child, but the tipping point was when my dad (who is super conservative but NOT trumpy) told him he should.
He was more vaccine hesitant than anti vax, and he got covid last summer so he thought he didn't need it. But anyway this is just a sample size of 1 but I think this is the way it's going to work for the vaccine hesitant.
I'm happy. Melody lost her mom two summers ago (on July 6, the same day I lost my mom last month) and I would be destroyed to see her lose her dad to something easily avoidable.
The true anti vaxxers you'll never convince I don't think. But we can make headway on the hesitant.

I'm starting to not understand the "wait and see" people. I waited and I saw healthcare employees get the vaccine from December to February. By March I was ready. By May everyone should have been ready
COVID Chicago: City's top doctor says 'no evidence' Lollapalooza 2021 a super-spreader event Lollapalooza super-spreader? City officials have said they don't regret hosting Lolla, which saw crowds over 100K daily By Maher Kawash
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago's top doctor said there's "no evidence" Lollapalooza was a "super-spreader" event
Two weeks ago Thursday, Lollapalooza kicked off.
And on Thursday morning, Chicago's top doctor, Dr. Allison Arwady, gave some answers about cases linked to the big music festival.
It's been two weeks since Lollapalooza, so it's right in the timeline to see any infections linked to the festival.
To this point, the city has held its ground, saying it does not regret hosting Lolla, which saw crowds of more than 100,000 people each day of the weekend festival.
Arwady said Chicago health officials did not see anything that "surprised" them in regards to COVID cases linked to the music festival.
She said there was "no evidence" of a "super-spreader" event, as some feared the large event could become. There were about 385,000 attendees, and roughly 88% were vaccinated, Arwady said.
There were just over 200 cases connected to Lolla, according to Arwady. There have not been any hospitalizations or deaths linked to the fest.
Just days after Lollapalooza, a total of 100,000 more filled the streets of Belmont Avenue and Addison Street for the Northalsted Market Days, and, of course, the Crosstown Classic was on the same weekend.
As of Thursday morning in Chicago, new cases are up by 39% since last week, and COVID-related hospital visits are up by 6%.
Arwady said that while Chicago is seeing "substantial" transmission, about 362 cases per day, it's nothing like the first or second surge the city saw.
Breakthrough cases continue to be very rare; most cases are among unvaccinated residents.
Most contracting COVID are in their 30s and 40s; there has not been a significant surge among children, Arwady said.
She also said vaccinations have been increasing over the past few weeks. Over half of 12 to 17 year olds in the city are now vaccinated.
There are some more large gatherings planned in Chicago next month, like the Pitchfork music festival, but Arwady said she's worried about what the fall and winter could bring with the delta variant, which makes up most cases.
ehhhh idk if Allison Arwady is entirely free from being potentially biased here since she works very closely with the mayor’s office, who were decidedly very very pro-Lollapalooza, but it still doesn’t seem like Lollapalooza was any more of a superspreader or regular spreader event than anything else going on in the city.

200 out of 100K cases is still pretty good tho imo. The real number is prob a bit higher but it still is pretty reassuring to me regarding outdoor events.

Yeah, they just haven’t reported this relative to other big outdoor events in Chicago, which there have been a few of, which is the one thing I’d be more interested in hearing about. But the results are pretty positive, I agree.

Important to note about something as large scale as Lolla, people could have gotten it anywhere during the duration of the event. Traveling at airports, the after shows, etc. It's not even like 200 people got it while standing or walking around in the festival grounds.
