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. .

While I agree with you in theory, it just irks me that these very same people were considered to be "heroes", only 10 months ago...

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…

Have you notified the CDC about this?

So 70+% weren't?
...and both the charts you posted are months out of date.

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.
