So? They still can get Covid and shed it, more specifically the variant which they have limited immunity against. So that's what drives the infection rate higher. Only one strain is being shed by those vaccinated driving up the infection rate for all. Not the unvaccinated who can get and shed both strains of the virus which actually weakens it and reduces transmission.

Are you saying it is the vaccinated whot are driving this pandemic at this point, not the un-vaccinated? If this were the case, why then are we all being encouraged by the experts to get vaccinated?
Do you have a link that verifies what you have said? I would like to read about it and not just take your word for it. Seems very counter productive for the big push for everyone to be vaccinated.

Looks like ~600 United employees are being terminated for not getting the vaccine.
Nearly 600 United Airlines employees are set to be fired for opting not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, the company announced in a memo sent to employees Tuesday.
In early August, Chicago-based United announced all U.S.-based employees must be vaccinated by Sept. 28, and 99% of the airline’s employees did so, according to the memo, sent from United CEO Scott Kirby and President Brett Hart.
But for the 593 employees who did not comply, United has “started the process to separate them from the company,” an airline spokesperson said in an email.

One advantage to having all the employees vaccinated is lower medical costs, leading to lower insurance rates. Another is fewer sick days, enabling them to better-schedule workers.

Vaccinated employees most likely will not require hospitalization if and when they test positive. That is a huge incentive for companies to mandate vaccinations, especially for companies that are self insured.

First, this has nothing to do with COVID. What a fantastic way to reduce the labor pool without having to manufacture a reason or worry about seniority. In an irony of ironies, Trump was vilified for trying to reduce the number of Federal employees and shrink the Government, yet Biden with his vaccine mandate is doing it for him.
Second, the debate started with the vaccine will prevent COVID, to the vaccine will help the different variants from not being so bad when one invariably catches it, to now it reduces medical costs and sick days. So, again its back to businesses and saving money. Interesting...
I hate both political parties and am disinterested in the Vaxx\anti-vaxx debate, but find the intersections of politics and business fascinating. Money can buy anything......

Didn't this just get ruled on it Texas (of all places). It might have just been the state courts. Basically the ruling was - as long as the company is not asking an employee to do something illegal, they can have any rule they want. So, Hooters can ask their waitresses to wear tight t-shirts, hospitals and ask their employees to be vaxxed, etc.
Even in SF, where I worked most of my career, companies had a set of rules employees were expected to follow - want to bring your dog to work, get a job at Facebook. Ain't gonna happen at Bank of America.

I don't agree with this, but somewhere in our checkered past it was decided that corps are like people with similar rights. I as a person am perfectly within my rights to not allow someone in my house (or to work for me) who is wearing a pistol, or doesn't have shoes on, or isn't vaxxed, or is vaxxed. The same holds with a corp (as I understand it) and any employee is perfectly free to find employment elsewhere if they don't like the rules.

Do you ever really listen to what you are advocating? It's also a huge violation of the individual's civil liberties.
What's next? Weekly drug tests to ensure no employee is doing anything adverse to their health to keep premiums down? Daily submittal of your dietary intake to ensure optimal health to keep premiums down? Why not mandate a government recommended daily vitamin? Healthy hair is important, let's mandate a specific type of shampoo......
Because of this mandate, we're going to have 100's of thousands of people that will now be unemployed with no unemployment or health benefits. What good is that going to do for the country?

Only one strain is being shed by those vaccinated driving up the infection rate for all. Not the unvaccinated who can get and shed both strains of the virus which actually weakens it and reduces transmission.
Those who are vaccinated may still be able to get Covid, but they are much less likely to get it, especially those who have had a booster shot. While the very few who have been vaccinated and still get Covid can potentially shed viral particles, the length of time they shed is very much shorter.
This is from the CDC:
“Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others. However, vaccinated people appear to spread the virus for a shorter time: For prior variants, lower amounts of viral genetic material were found in samples taken from fully vaccinated people who had breakthrough infections than from unvaccinated people with COVID-19. For people infected with the Delta variant, similar amounts of viral genetic material have been found among both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people. However, like prior variants, the amount of viral genetic material may go down faster in fully vaccinated people when compared to unvaccinated people. This means fully vaccinated people will likely spread the virus for less time than unvaccinated people.”

I'm aware of both sides of this issue.
I guess my question is, how do you explain higher infection, hospitalization and death rates with roughly 60% of our population being vaccinated? Our rates are higher than a year ago when no one was vaccinated.
Great Britain and Israel have vaccination rates of 80%+. Again, their rates in those three categories are higher now than they were a year ago when the vaccines weren't even available.

Seems to make sense that everyone wanting a government handout should prove they are vaccinated.
Also travelers should have to be vaccinated. That makes a lot of sense too for ALL airline travelers along with wearing a mask as they have to do now.

Thank you United Airline employees! I know this isn’t a cure but it would cut down on Covid patients in hospitals & permit the very little kids to get attention. Most Covid people are adults & know better or could help the people who really need to be in hospital. Covid people could help a little by getting their shots or wearing mask or they could stay home whether they have it or not. I don’t want to breath their stinking Covid breath. So if you think it’s your right to not get shots or wear mask, stay home until our country is 100% Covid free!

So, if if we can’t fix everything, don’t fix anything? There is a pretty easy fix available for Covid and the vast majority of Americans have said (via polling) that everyone should take it unless they have a hell of a good reason not to (“I don’t want to” is not a good reason)

Now we can move on to mandating no smoking. The money and health risks these smokers cause to themselves and others. No alcohol. It will create safe streets for our children to play. People need to get tested every 3 months to be sure they are not drinking or smoking. There is so much good we can do to society by eliminating these "problems". We should also remove the children of anyone not taking the kind of effective, possibly safe, jab. Remove children of those who smoke. They obviously are not fit to be parents. We can train the kids to listen to us, as we obviously know what is best. Think of how great the Villages would be if we eliminated these burdens to society.

There is not an easy fix to COVID. It is going to be like the flu and will be around forever.
The government mandate does not allow for 'a hell of a good reason not to.' People that have recovered from COVID have far superior and longer lasting antibodies than the vaccine gives. They are still required to get the vaccine if they fall within the government mandate.
I personally believe this is about government power and control and they are not going to stop with this mandate. Next will be a mandate for the booster. Then something like gun confiscation in the name of public health. If we don't stop with the government over reach now, it will be Katie bar the door time.

The spike protein cause blood clots because it irritates veins and arteries. It would stand to reason the more shots you get the more you are susceptible. All the other things you mentioned are just scare tactics.
And I hate to break this to you, but it's something you should know by now: the vaccines, any of them, DO NOT prevent infection or transmission. You can still get Covid and its variants and spread it to others. The only thing they do, and not in all cases, is reduce the risk of severe illness and complications which might require hospitalization or result in long-term problems or death.

Don't know what you're rambling about but maybe it's time for your meds. What I stated are indisputable facts. You can still get Covid even though you are fully vaccinated and even if your antibodies have not waned. Two friends of mine got Covid and they got their 2nd shot two months ago.

The spike protein cause blood clots because it irritates veins and arteries. It would stand to reason the more shots you get the more you are susceptible. All the other things you mentioned are just scare tactics.
And I hate to break this to you, but it's something you should know by now: the vaccines, any of them, DO NOT prevent infection or transmission. You can still get Covid and its variants and spread it to others. The only thing they do, and not in all cases, is reduce the risk of severe illness and complications which might require hospitalization or result in long-term problems or death.

That's fine, as it's your choice and many feel as you do. Why not minimize the risk? It's logical. However, there are many people who think the vaccines are a panacea and they will not get Covid at all. That is simply not true but because of the government's mandates it SEEMS like it is. And perception is the better part of reality.
They want people to think the vaccines prevent infection and you cannot get Covid. I have family members who thought this very thing and imagine their shock when they got sick and tested positive for Covid. :shocked:

Didn't this just get ruled on it Texas (of all places). It might have just been the state courts. Basically the ruling was - as long as the company is not asking an employee to do something illegal, they can have any rule they want. So, Hooters can ask their waitresses to wear tight t-shirts, hospitals and ask their employees to be vaxxed, etc.
Even in SF, where I worked most of my career, companies had a set of rules employees were expected to follow - want to bring your dog to work, get a job at Facebook. Ain't gonna happen at Bank of America.

Artificially "coupling" 2 issues together like this does not make the conclusion true. Part 1) Yes, people should get vaccinated and the anti-vaxxers should get jobs away from people, maybe like in Siberia.
......2nd Part ) Too many people and unvaccinated people are entering an already overcrowded America and adding instability to an already volatile society that has stretched its limit for resources like raw materials, transportation, roads, bridges and etc. Currently, the US is falling behind on everything from technology to Wall Street stability and even governmental cooperation.

So? They still can get Covid and shed it, more specifically the variant which they have limited immunity against. So that's what drives the infection rate higher. Only one strain is being shed by those vaccinated driving up the infection rate for all. Not the unvaccinated who can get and shed both strains of the virus which actually weakens it and reduces transmission.

It's just common sense. When they didn't have the vaccines they were in strict lockdown much worse than what we had here and so now society is "open", most people are vaccinated, but they are still getting Covid because the virus hasn't gone away!
That's what most people don't understand. Covid will always be with us until scientists/researchers develop a true, sterilizing vaccine that prevents infection. It's unbelievable to me how people are eager to swallow lies, especially if it comes from the government.

But then there's this:

But Britain is in far worse shape than it was at this time last year, when no one was vaccinated. It is now averaging about 140 deaths a day, roughly 10 times as many as mid-September 2020. And hospitalizations and deaths continue to rise.

Or maybe you're simply missing the point. I'm not anti-vax and in fact have been vaccinated. I am, however, pro-choice. If people don't want to get vaccinated I'm OK with that. I become even more adamant about freedom of choice when a government I don't trust in the least starts to mandate. Most of us are quite capable of making correct decisions without government intervention.
I also believe in the science that finds those that have recovered from CV have far better and longer lasting antibodies. We know the efficacy of the vaccines is short lived. I'm unaware of any studies that make that same claim with natural antibodies. So why in the world would those people even think of putting a foreign substance with possible side effects into their bodies?
I also know children face minimal risk from CV. In fact, CV doesn't even make the top 10 causes of death in children. Why in the world would anyone advocate putting a foreign substance with side effects into growing and developing bodies?
And, if you were really opened minded, you'd be aware of the credible studies out there predicting that the vaccines will very possibly be responsible for variants that pop up. Time will tell if that occurs but I'd be willing to bet a friendly beer that is going to happen.

as I former pharmacist you do not have to "break" anything to me. I understand one can still get covid and it's variants. it's because there is still covid circulating thanks to the unvaccinated. as long as it can find hosts, the virus survives. things started getting better because people were getting vaccinated and the vaccine was extremely good at preventing the alpha version of the virus. Had more of the population got the vaccine then, the delta variant might have been stopped from taking hold. the side effects I mentioned are just "scare tactics" yet the clotting problem that you are so concerned about as reported by Cornell med. site: Despite overwhelming evidence that the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine outweigh the risks, and that the chances of dying from the coronavirus far exceed those of having an adverse reaction to the shot, reports of rare, (fewer than one in a million) post-vaccine blood clots may have you reconsidering vaccination.
it goes on to say that the risk of blood clots from having covid is much higher. many researchers consider covid a vascular disease (not just respiratory) which is why it can affect so many different systems of your body....affecting blood flow to them, which include the brain and *****. so it's hardly a scare tactic. from webmd: For men with a history of COVID-19, the estimated risk of developing ED was 5.66 higher. Those numbers remained even after other factors considered.

Rick777,
I have some familiarity with the FAA and thought something about this "grounding all pilots who have had the vaccine due to risk of cardiac arrest" did not sound right so I went to the FAA site.
The following is a cut-and-paste directly from the FAA wording of what they are "prohibiting."
According to what I just found on the FAA site, the FAA requires a 48 hour wait for pilots after having been vaccinated. That's it.
No mention of heart attacks.
Just a waiting period to be sure to be cleared of reactions to the shot.
Not a big deal.
Makes perfect sense. Everybody waited for reactions. We all had to hang around for a little while after the shot. But most of us are not commercial pilots so it looks like the FAA took further precautions to clear reactions -- 48 Hours.
You said in your post there is a link available. You did not provide the link so I went directly to the source.
I recognize the probability that pilots could have been provided with a long list of everything that could be possible, no matter how remotely possible, during that waiting period. But according to what I just looked up on the definitive source, the FAA, there has been no specific panic about cardiac arrest. In fact, I saw no evidence of panic whatsoever -- just a common sense reaction wait time.
Your post makes it look like there is something more than just a 48-hour precaution. If that is the case, please provide the link from the FAA -- which you, as a pilot, know has the last word. If the heart attack thing has been taken out of context by some fear-mongering source, then. . .well. . .we all know that drill -- or should.
Anyway. . .
Here is what I found (just now, this very morning) on the official FAA site in the Question and Answer section:
FAA Home ▸ Coronavirus ▸ Guidance & Resources
FAQs on Use of COVID-19
Vaccines by Pilots and
Air Traffic Controllers
Share
Print
What pilot duties or activities are specifically prohibited during the post-vaccination 48-hour observation period?
The Federal Air Surgeon determined that FAA medical certificate holders may not act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required flightcrew member, for 48 hours after each dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. The Federal Air Surgeon made this determination after evaluation of available medical information about these COVID-19 vaccines and potential side effects. As a result of this determination and consistent with 14 CFR § 61.53(a), each person subject to part 67 who receives the vaccine must wait 48 hours after each dose before acting as pilot in command or as a required flightcrew member.
In the event that an FAA medical certificate holder experiences side effects after the 48-hour period has elapsed, the medical certificate holder may not act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required flightcrew member as described at 14 CFR § 61.53(a) for the duration of the symptoms.

This directive is from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). This does not mention "cardiac arrest" but "side effects" and the duration for the prohibition of duties or activities is 48 hours if the pilot has no side effects beyond the 48 hours. This criteria effects pilots who act as Pilot in Command AKA the Captain.

Fired for not conforming to rules the company set for employees. Simple as that. It’s the American way - get used to it
Employment at will employees can get terminated for almost anything. Companies dictate the terms of most everyone's employment, this news flash is not new and many court cases have upheld the companies' right to do so. Most everyone's career has been employment at will, statistically speaking, which excludes corporate executives with contracts and union employees. . . however, corporate execs can get fired for not following corporate rules as well, I know at least one corp president at a public company who was.
So, go ask a labor lawyer, go listen to a labor law professor, etc. So you think that you as an employee should dictate the terms of your employment? These people leaving are doing so, which is fine with them and their employer. What employer wants people you don't want to follow rules? That's chaos and the wild west. .
I am all in favor of firing health care workers who don't want to follow healthcare rules to protect my 95 yo mom in an assisted living community. . . and myself if I have to go into the hospital due to events beyond my control. . . and then I will apply for one of the open positions. .

That’s because it’s all based on the news media telling everyone what to think. If it fits their mantra, they are heroes, if not they are portrayed as villains. Today it’s the health care workers the media has turned on, and they want you to be outraged. After 9/11 the police were heroes - that’s what the media told us. After George Floyd the same media told us that those police officers were villains.
It’s time to stop being lead like sheep to the slaughter by the news media…

They are NOT. 99% of the hospital CV deaths are UNvaccinated - the numbers are irrefutable!
Have you notified the CDC about this?

Seriously? Could you please show, or tell us, the source of where you heard this completely unfounded/outright false information?

If you could read better you would know I was responding to two posters who appear to be in denial about breakthrough cases and deaths.
The CDC slide showing 16% of hospital deaths from breakthrough cases was leaked on July 30, the CDC study of breakthrough cases in Los Angeles was concluded July 25th. So 2.5 months ago, hardly ancient and much more timely than a lot of the "facts" being slung around here.
The CDC slide and LA study were done when Delta surge was just beginning. Now take a look at this chart showing delta cases surging to 300% or more higher in August and September. So yeah the charts and data were a couple months old, but the problem of delta breakthroughs and deaths just got worse.
