The federal government struggles to get decent IT talent due to lower wages and more importantly, strict marijuana drug testing. Private sector doesn't test IT for marijuana at all. Those guys love their weed.

Not True my company just sent out email saying they will continue to test for Marijuana after Prop 206 passed here decriminalizing it. If your caught can be terminated for it.

As far as testing for Marijuana, it will be treated just like coming to work drunk. Either way, most companies will terminate you. There is one major difference as far as drug testing. Alcohol is detectable in your system for 7-12 hours. THC, depending on the 'dose', is detectable for 3 to 30 days.

It's different at least at my company they consider it an illegal drug under federal law. You are allowed to drink alcohol as long as your not working. I have even been to company parties where Alcohol is served mostly upper management, VP, CEO board member types.

Well, even that, having alcohol in your system does not make you drunk, nor does having MJ in your system make you high, however, there is generally zero tolerance for the MJ, versus alcohol where it is if you are drunk at work, not if you were drunk or even had a few drinks the night before.

Do you really think your doctor would want to risk medical board action and loss of license to do that?

There will likely be more than 80% who want to be vaccinated, but it's all good past 80%. It will take a while to get there, though.

There will be a few mandatory vaccinations; those who work in the medical community with Covid patients will be the first, and their vaccinations will be mandatory, but other than EMTs and some associated related personnel, there won't be many others who are mandated to be vaccinated.
Any business could require it. A small business may have to close if an employee gets it; it may leave it short staffed.

I don't understand the control freaks who shame anti vaxxers. If they feel protected with a shot, how will someone else not getting one threaten them?
Because some people will not be protected even if vaccinated and some will be unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons.

As others have pointed out if she got the placebo then it is not due to the vaccine.

There is a program for those who have severe side effects from investigational drugs, including vaccines.

In 1950, Virginia was hit with a polio outbreak notable for how widespread it was and how deadly it was - polio was horrible, but until this outbreak, the death rates had not been so high. Point is that vaccines can't simply be dismissed.

Of course, the corollary to the polio vaccine is the "Cutler Incident" where the vaccine gave people polio.

The "Cutter Incident" was due to improper manufacturing process by a company unfamiliar with vaccine production. Other companies made the same vaccine without difficulty.

can someone explain this to me - if the Phizer vaccine has to be kept at 94 degrees below 0, do they warm it up before they inject it into you, or can your body handle a liquid at 94 degrees below zero???

I dont understand this.

Pfizer.

That is for storage and transportation. Any frozen vaccine is thawed before administration.

I've been wondering about that since I saw it.
