Yes indeed.

We are not fools and we recognize when some definition has been changed to fit the message wanted......instead of the truth.

Imagine dying from Covid, polio, smallpox or any other of a dozen diseases that have vaccines because you don't have natural immunity.

Yes, they do. They are not 100% and nobody ever said they were. In fact no such vaccine exists for any other disease.

Immunity is not the same as sterilizing immunity.

It's truly pathetic seeing some of the replies here. It's almost like they are gloating over people being forced to make the choice between being vaccinated or lose their job. And for no reason, these peoples decisions won't effect them in the slightest. Such poor excuses for American's , that is for sure.

I support an employer’s choice. Hospitals made vaccine mandatory long before Federal mandate. It has survived court challenges.

Hospital Systems have long required a bevy of vaccines of their employees and volunteers, clinical and non- clinical. Prospective employees are aware of these requirements.

As it relates to Mayo, it operates at a Level 1 Trauma ER at some locations in both adult and Pediatrics.

It is among one of the most desirable/ coveted residency programs in the US.

Imagine the clinical staff that was terminated will be challenged to find comparable employment elsewhere at this time.
Mayo Clinic has a facility in Jacksonville Florida and those employees won't have any problems finding another job. I'm not surprised that you and others here seem to be all excited and literally giddy about people being fired from their jobs.

As a patient of the Mayo system, I'm completely fine with this. Makes up for the time they let Fmr. VP Pence stroll around one of their hospitals without a mask for a photo op at a time when they were also telling folks to wear them.

Pretty sad indeed. Humans are a terrible bunch and the ugliness is showing it's head these past 2 years.
There's also posters gleeful that "Republicans" are dying from covid.

They've got a collective mindset and the propaganda has worked 100% on them as they question nothing the talking heads (MSM/government) say.

Mayo is in Minnesota, Arizona and Florida. Medical and religious exemptions were allowed. None of the employees should have problems finding another job. In Florida, they are allowed to collect unemployment insurance while out of work.

No vaccine is nearly as effective on these variants at preventing infection. They are however reducing the incidences of serious Covid.

The flu shot is reformulated each ear based upon dominate viruses in the Southern Hemisphere. Last year’s flu shot is not effective against this year’s strains The flu shot does not ensure immunity. It does however reduce symptoms and complications.
My pharmacist told me the 2019 flu shot didn't match the 2019 strain and it was a waste. How many years did that happen?
