    I know of a few drivers who have told their dispatch. That they won't do Tyson loads. Due to their vax mandate.

    I was in the oilfield when ELOGS got forced on truckers. And I'd been using them anyway at Halliburton for years, so I didn't even really notice. But adhering to an annoying company policy is one thing. Especially when you knew it was coming for years, and even got delayed. Actually keeping a job due to sitting and letting someone inject a syringe full of "get in the boxcar" into you is different. And with little to no warning, nobody has had time to "get used to it", so to speak.

    From paper to electronic. Was just semantics. That was just a to b itch w/o really any intention to stop working.

    Quitting over your health and civil liberties is a much different animal.

    Exactly how I see it. Just people grumbling over the "latest BS from corporate". But getting an injection of something you don't agree with isn't even in the same league.

    Maybe. I hope you're right, but I doubt it. Humans have disappointed me so many times over the years I don't have the confidence you do.

    The relentless traditional and social media campaign and censorship of information has led to many people not even understanding why anyone would object to the injection. So many people don’t question or delve deeper. It’s the system that has failed many by fostering an environment where critical thinking is discouraged and exchange of ideas is limited to only nuances of what is already established “facts”. Ironically it’s the the schools that are driving away individual thought. A snowball effect is upon us.

    I know a few who will quit and find new employment.

    My daughter is a nurse in an Oregon hospital that primarily cares for covid patients. The state mandated that all medical related employees must be vaccinated by 10/18 or be terminated. My daughter is not going to get it, and none of the other nurses in her unit are getting vaccinated. So they'll have to shut down. This is happening in all different industries around the US.

    You gotta wonder when moderna says that the vaccine that Japan recalled only had stainless steel in it and would still be effective and cause no issues.
