Kudos to Mayo Clinic for doing the right thing. Proof of having had numerous FDA approved vaccinations have always been a condition of employment there. You don't like the rules at your job? Find the nearest door with an EXIT sign over it.

Well. I am fully vaccinated but I think the idiot here is the mayo clinic.

First of all, just because they are not vaccinated, does not mean they are covid positive. If they are willing to take covid test on regular basis, they are in my opinion, relatively safer than fully vaccinated employees who do not take covid test on regular basis.

Yes you will be taking a chance because you won't know if they're infected or not. An unvaccinated person would at least know if they were infected.

It may very well be that many are clerical workers, security, receptionists, janitors, accountants etc. etc.

You mean people who either don't come in contact with the public or ones who's contact can be limited like grocery and liquor stores>

So people in Florida who make a personal choice to not get vaxxed, get fired, then get to sit home and collect money from the government? So DeSantis supports SoCiaLiSm now? Wow!

Sub intellect ? All because they don't want the vaccine ?
So calling people names is your response ?

Why do you assume they never get tested?

Well should you demand a covid test if you are concerned? Seriously I am not trying to be sarcastic and I definitely do not want to start an argument. Your way of thinking just does not make any sense.

My future mother in law had a surgery last month. I asked the staff when is the last time they have been tested and they answered me. Why do I care about their vaccination status? They are vaccinated, ok good for them but they need to be covid negative to work there. That's more important. No?
