chicago gets schooled on vaccine mandates
actions have consequences
here’s a fun story from jalopnik:
“About 2,100 students, including 990 in special education, were given no more than two days’ notice that their bus route no longer existed. District officials said they received word Friday from the private companies with which they contract for bus services that 73 drivers had resigned because they refused to abide by CPS’ vaccine mandate, which requires all employees and contractors to get shots by Oct. 15. The requirement was announced more than two weeks ago.”
the claim of “only 73 drivers resigned” is a bit misleading. this makes it sound low. it’s not. it’s nearly 10% of drivers. and they are now 500 drivers short.
“Only 73 drivers are believed to have resigned over vaccine requirements, but the district had recently adjusted routes to account for an existing shortage of drivers. The district now has 770 drivers which is still 500 drivers short.”
these are 100% own goals.
drivers were already tight because, as in so many industries, hiring is impossible despite vast un and under-employment. the reserve price of labor has been blown into the stratosphere by high jobless benefits baked into covid response.
they then exacerbated this further by (quite literally) decimating their ranks by demanding vaccination.
even the good kitten saw this coming.
every parent of every kid that was affected by this should be livid. this is an epic fail of government policy. this is what happens when you break markets and predicate outcomes on ideology and performative solutions lacking in sound basis.
get this stopped and rolled back now.
you do not want to wait until this hits the hospitals.
then you’ll see the real carnage…
this is not building back better. this is wrecking what worked because you fell for what sounded good.
I wonder how many of those parents supported the vaxxine mandates, though.
This is why the "trusted news initiative" (a.k.a., Covid propaganda) must be defeated in court.
How many people know that CDC Director Walensky admitted to Wolf Blitzer on CNN in early August that the jabs don't stop infection or transmission of the Delta variant and that the unvaxxed and fully vaxxed have similar viral loads? I've bookmarked the clip and posted it many times on Twitter and Fakebook.
People don't know that the Delta variant arose in India in December 2020...before the jabs.
People don't know that the Lambda variant arose in Peru in August of 2020...before the jabs.
They get fed a lot of garbage by the idiot talking heads on broadcast and cable "news". They believe the jabs are safe and work well. They believe that evil unwashed unvaxxed are creating new variants and infecting all the "good" people who are doing their part to protect society and stop the pandemic. They believe Fauci is a good man.
What is most alarming to me is how many of them are highly educated and credentialed. They should know better. They think they know better. And they're gonna have a really hard time admitting they were played...duped...brainwashed.
If people understood that the jabs they took...the jabs they want everyone else to take whether they want to or not...simply don't work...maybe the dam would break.
No problem. “Vaccines? We don’t need no stinkin’ vaccines. We’ve got masks!!l”
per Emma Woodhouse:
Illinois DPH Director making her boldest, most insane claim yet about masks yet:
“The bottom line is that masks are as effective as vaccines are."
WOW
