Well, some of them are now suffering monetary consequences. Hurray for Mecklenburg County for this. > **[13 Percent of North Carolina County Workers Suspended Over Vaccine Mandate](https://www.newsweek.com/13-percent-government-employees-north-carolina-county-suspended-over-vaccine-mandate-1629656)** > > Almost 600 government workers in Mecklenburg County are facing suspension without pay for refusing weekly COVID-19 testing or providing proof of vaccination. ---

From Morgyn’s link - > Officials in the city, where around 62 percent of government employees have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, have not ordered a vaccine mandate but are offering a $250 incentive for workers who get vaccinated by the end of the month. So they are paying people to be stupid assholes. Great. ---

And this shows the lie that is all their “Won’t somebody think of my DNA!” whining about the vaccines being “unsafe”, because these assholes could also keep their jobs by submitting regular negative COVID test results. So they won’t even do that much to either keep working, or show some concern for the people around them. Assholes. ---

I’m quite frankly tired of trying to keep these stupid assholes alive. BUT the unvaccinated are a breeding ground for those that can’t get vaccinated and a a breeding ground for new variants of COVID that will put the COVID train back on the tracks. Fuck 'em. ---

It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found. ---

Here’s from some lefty rag called The Wall Street Journal [https://www.wsj.com/articles/idaho-hospitals-overwhelmed-with-covid-19-patients-may-begin-rationing-care-11631810032](https://www.wsj.com/articles/idaho-hospitals-overwhelmed-with-covid-19-patients-may-begin-rationing-care-11631810032) > Hospitals across Idaho may begin prioritizing and rationing limited resources, the state’s health department said, as [a surge in Covid-19 hospitalizations] overwhelms healthcare systems.

They’re doing it now. Maddow reported earlier tonight that the state government, in response to a request from the largest hospital system in the state, has instituted crisis care protocols. ---

Do the anti vax idiots think that all the hospitals in Idaho are in on the fake COVID scam? And all the staff there too? The patients are all crisis actors? Do they think Idaho is just a made up place? ---

But natural immunity is _so_ much better than the vaccine kind. I would die for that kind of immunity. ---

I live here. I read the FB comments to understand their “thoughts” and the big trends are: - The vaccine killed my brother’s best friend’s dog groomer’s cousin! - I’m boosting my immune system by taking zinc, vitamin C & D, and gargling with bleach three times a day. - They are withholding proven early treatments from those that test positive (some are referring to remdesivir but some are also referring to horse dewormers, etc) - It’s really the vaccinated that are spreading it! - I know a nurse and they say it really isn’t as bad as the media is reporting it. Tons of anecdotal “nuh-uhs”.
