An elected Virginia County Commissioner of the Revenue (a democrat) is formally threatening to discipline employees (up to and including termination) that donât get vaccinated by 6/30/21.
I see two problems with this.
- There are certain professions where extreme care needs to be taken to protect peopleâs health. Considering what we know about COVID, the immunocompromised, people with lung health issues, people in failing health overall, and the elderly, are particularly susceptible to the illness and to death if they catch it. Any employer in which the JOB FUNCTIONS of employees are particularly focused towards people in that category should be able to require their employees to be vaccinated. Iâm talking about cancer wards, nursing homes, dialysis centers, etc. We also know about COVID that it is not easily passed outdoors or with minimal contact indoors. There are jobs that require employees to be in close contact with others indoors for long stretches of time - a situation in which an infected person is much more likely to transmit COVID to someone else. Dental hygienist would be an example. Employers should be allowed to require their employees to be vaccinated when these criteria are met.
A Commissioner of Revenue (COR) office, which functions in a similar way to a DMV with windows where people come in to get a business license or update their property tax, allows for plexiglass and social distancing. The job functions of a COR employee do NOT fall into the above category.
- This vaccine still only has emergency approval.
Put these two factors together, and I think the COR is overstepping her authority. So far, the EEOC has said what she is doing is legal, but there is no court precedent on it yet. I could see a court factoring in what I posited above when coming to a determination about this. We might be seeing it soon. Or maybe not. Most people would just get the shot. If I were a COR employee and I had a family to feed, Iâd just take the shot. I would write a letter documenting that I am getting it only because I am forced to get it to keep my job though. That way if anything negative happened to my health that could be traced to the vaccine, there would be a paper trail that would be helpful for a lawsuit in the future.
You are not fooled when I post articles with links you can check out? Did you think someone was trying to fool you? Is it a conspiracy?
Iâm curious - what would the ramification be from lying about getting vaccinated? I assume youâd get fired for violating the policy (since it turns out you didnt get vaccinated as required), but any legal/criminal consequences?
I literally said I am not sure, so I donât know if you are or arenât. Maybe you use yahoo news as your go to leftist news aggregator. Maybe you browse leftist news sites, then post the yahoo news version to make it seem less leftist. I donât know. I just wanted to point it out to others what you are doing (if they hadnât noticed) and put you on the spot about it to see how youâd respond.
At this point, I would think the people getting those letters are going to need to provide proof. Had they told theyâre employer they were vaccinated back when everyone else was getting it, they probably wouldnât have needed to provide any proof and could have gotten away with it. Then, however many months down the line, if/when they were asked for proof and they couldnât provide it, theyâd surely be fired.
It would be an interesting legal case though. One could argue that their earlier claim to have received the vaccination was just them trying to fit in with people in the office. Something akin to, âHey did you watch the county administratorâs speech? Sure! Loved it!â They could say they didnât know when they said they were vaccinated that it could have any bearing on their employment. So then, when asked for proof months later, they could argue that they should be given the opportunity to get vaccinated at that point. I would assume folks in that position that are willing to get it to keep their job will be getting it surreptitiously now (that these letters are going out) rather than waiting until it may be too late. Thatâs what I would do in that situation.
I donât see how there could be any other legal or criminal consequences. A lawsuit claiming someone got COVID from a particular unvaccinated person due to neglect is going to be very hard to prove. I havenât heard about any of them yet, but I wonder if it will become a thing. I have no idea.
Bidenâs âAmerica Lastâ policies already bearing fruit abroad
President Joe Biden has really turned things around. Inflation is way up, there is an overwhelming border crisis, China and Iran are on the march once again with the latter having a good shot at nuclear weapons, spending is out of control and taxes are set to burgeon, America is no longer energy independent and still existing supply deliveries are threatened at home as critical pipelines vanish, and so much more! Just think. Biden has accomplished all these things in less than five months!
But not to worry. Biden is focusing on the important stuff. In particular, foreigners now have a much better impression of us than they had last year. And when youâre pitifully weak and lack self confidence like Biden and his liberal toadies, foreign views are what matter!
Foreigners hit jackpot as Biden once again facilitates fleecing of American taxpayers
Unlike Trump, who stood up for us Americans and put us first, Biden places the entire world ahead of America. Trump was satisfied being President of the USA. Biden has set his sights on becoming President of the world. And the amount of additional damage he can do to us, prior to next yearâs mid-term elections, is inestimable.
Is âJewish Democratsâ an oxymoron?
While appearing incongruous on the surface, the notion of American Jews being Democrats is easily explained. You see, some American Jews place their liberalism ahead of their Judaism. And in our country that choice, that personal decision, is entirely valid and acceptable. Period.
However, a wrinkle has emerged for these folks. While they may put liberalism first they remain Jews, and there is just so much BS any Jew, indeed any American regardless religious preference, can tolerate. And this is becoming a problem for Democrats especially with Jewish Americans, but more and more with ALL Americans! So whatâs the problem? One picture is worth many words:
These women are giving all Democrats, but especially Jewish Democrats, fits. They hate America. They detest Israel. And they have no business whatsoever being in our Congress!!
The radical views these women spew are losing votes for Democrats all across this country. And nothing could be more appropriate or welcome!
Personally, I really donât know any Jews.
I often wonder why American Jews are liberal Democrats. Makes no sense to me! 
Because Jews are not often racist, theyâre good people that care about others. Theyâre more knowledgeable than average about the world, higher education levels and higher awareness of other religions and other areas. And theyâre not usually fans of Nazi rhetoric (which theyâre more likely to be very familiar with the related historical events), either. That disqualifies supporting QOP, and the Democratic party is the only other currently viable party. Not agreeing with everything in the party platform is fine, they can work within it to further planks that align with their own goals.
Thatâs wonderful. I feel the same way.
Who does? Certainly conservative Republicans hate Nazi rhetoric.
So there we are!! We should certainly be able to get along.
I think I missed a point here, As shinobi pointed out, âthere is only so much BS any Jew can tolerateâ. All this is becoming a problem for Democrats. Hateful Omar is still out there spreading viciousness.
In Portland, the protests and endless riots are still going on. âOverwhelmingly peacefulâ is an overwhelmingly disingenuous phrase.
Nice try. But my post was not really about, nor was it aimed at, Jews. The real subjects of my post are shown in the photo I posted. And Iâm confident you do not want to discuss them. This because they are ripping your Democrat party to shreds as they go about the nasty business of impugning America and our history, while attempting to destroy our culture.
BTW, the general publicâs frustration is getting so loud The Oregonian, Oregonâs newspaper of record, has restarted including a few images of crime perpetrators. Hereâs an article from todayâŚ
The Oregonian had deliberately stopped posting pictures that could identify criminals about a couple of years ago because, you know, it contributed to systemic bias. Maybe the rise in violent crime -including murder- this past year began to shift the pendulum. Hard for the public to help the police identify and locate suspects when the description is along the lines of âmalesâ.
But theyâre also usually offended when âNazi rhetoricâ is used to denounce stuff that is neither rhetoric nor nazi-related.
How dare you use such an intollerant and discriminatory term!
Civil war rages within the Democrat party
The latest skirmish:
11 June: Squad takes on Pelosi over slapdown of Ilhan Omar
âThe Squadâ has gone to war with its own party leader, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), one of the two Muslim women in the House along with Omar (D-Minn.), took aim at Pelosi and other members of the Democratic leadership, claiming âfreedom of speech doesnât exist for Muslim women in Congress.â
Tlaibâs comments come in the wake of Pelosi and the leaders releasing a statement blasting Omar for her tweet, which blasted America and Israel,
Rep. Ilhan Omar equated the US and Israel to the Taliban and Hamas
MSM standards
Yes I watched that first interview on CNN. Nice itineraries, not interested in getting back to âroot causes for dismissalâ.
Is CNN hard up for Interviewers?
