    I don't do nothing. I pray about it. God is mightier than our God denying government.

    We got a message a couple of weeks ago about it and it stated that they were monitoring the mandate and the courts, and that they would be bound to follow mandate at that time.

    It sure is funny how the Lord works. Don't get vaccine. Don't wear a mask. Social distance non-sense. And somehow Covid will take care of everything. Great!

    Actually, it just lowers the risk of it being severe. Which is a good thing. I'd rather suffer a mild case vs a severe one if I have to get this ####.

    Doesn't stop you from getting it though.

    An I'm not one of the crazy anti-vaccine folks. Nor am I one of the crazy get the vaccine or die folks.

    Do as you wish. As the saying goes...Your the captain of your ship. Or body in this case.

    Far as mandates...I don't like people telling me what I have to, can, can't etc do to my body. Doesn't matter which political party it is telling me.

    Doesn't mean I'm against vaccines though. ;)

    They are doing their best to make it rough on those that choose not to get the shot. The work thing, no flying(soon to apply to domestic travel), no trains, no live entertainment, no indoor dining in various big cities without proof, etc. etc.

    Far as the "It's a government plot!" I say to you..

    Aluminum Foil is cheap. Make a hat quick before the black helicopters come for you.

    ;)

    Kinda funny but w a supply chain, driver, employee shortage, whether perceived or actual, you'd think that a mandate for required vaccines could potentially cripple an already hobbled nation.
    Now I don't profess to know exact numbers but at my shop I guesstimate 25% are unvaccinated.
    Some have already suffered through the virus and recovered. 1 has passed away and 1 is hospitalized and not expected to live according to his wife as of this am.

    If there is a testing option available I'd venture to guess they wouldn't take the jab but corporate policy may dictate that despite what supreme court decides.
    If the employee is on the hook $$ for weekly testing could be decision time.

    Our company already pays employees for 10 days for quarantine but now that it's been reduced maybe just a week.
    And they may not pay once the mandate, if effected comes into play going forward.
