Not to mention that those who have to go to the office will not be pleased to know about yet another perk the WFH folks get. ---

Seems odd to consider not having to get a life-saving procedure a “perk”, but that is America today. And I know that Jane is pro-vax. ---

You are right that I am totally pro-vax, however, if I was still working and was forced to go back to the office while some folks got to stay home because they didn’t want to get vaccinated, I would be VERY resentful. ---

Do you have any sources of “information” that _aren’t_ far right wing glurge factories? In another thread your “news” came from “The Jimmy Dore Show”, and now you give us _The Post Millennial_ [The Post Millennial - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Post_Millennial) ---

I can use left-wing glurg factories, but they give the same news, just with an opposing slant. The point is that mandatory vaccination is being questioned, and this time by someone who just happens to have Brandon for his first time. Hence, the smart alecky slant. ---

Someone “questioning” mandatory vaccination is hardly news. Nor is Trosclair the first person named “Brandon” to do so. Try again. ---

But the thread is about issues concerning mandatory vaccination. Go and look at previous posts, and they raise similar issues concerning exceptions and so on. Try again. ---
