Southwest Drops Plan to Get Rid of Unvaccinated Staff by December Deadline

I'm not sure. I have not heard of a push to make vaccines mandatory in a general sense. Governor McMaster is a very conservative Republican who said it should be left up to the businesses (that if they want vaccines as a condition of employment that is their business).

 

Perhaps because there is not a 98% chance of surviving covid. The percentage is based on data used to model pandemic senerios.

Each person's chance of surviving covid depends on characteristics unique to that person as well as the level of infection.

Using the number of confirmed cases and deaths, the researchers reported the “crude case fatality ratio” as 3.67% (95% confidence interval 3.56% to 3.80%).

But the mortality rate increases with other factors. Those over 50 years old are more likely to die with covid. The unvaccinated are 11 times more likely to die than the vaccinated. Those with respiratory diseases are more likely to die than those without.

 

I know. Like I said before, people will often believe what they want to believe. You can't expect a flat-earther to accept that the earth is not flat. They have rejected the conventional for the unconventional.

This is actually to be expected. We live in a culture that was born out of rebellion. We also look to the counter-culture as sort of a norm (which is kinda ironic).

 

Truth is a funny thing. It does not change based on our acceptance or rejection of facts. It's kinda like a brick wall. You can deny it is there, but your denial is inconsequential to its existence.
