We’re still firing people over this, huh?
According to The New York Post:
The city Department of Education has axed another 850 teachers and classroom aides — bringing the total to nearly 2,000 school employees fired for failure to comply with a vaccine mandate increasingly struck down in court.
About 1,300 DOE employees who took a year’s unpaid leave — with benefits — agreed to show proof of COVID vaccination by Sept. 5 or be “deemed to have voluntarily resigned.”
Of those staffers, 450 got a shot by the deadline and “are returning to their prior schools or work locations,” DOE officials told The Post. They include some 225 teachers and 135 paraprofessionals.
The 850 let go makes roughly 1,950 DOE staffers terminated since the vaccine mandate took effect on Oct. 29, 2021.
In all, NYC has fired more than 2,600 municipal workers not fully vaccinated, according to City Hall tallies.
The mixed messaging on this makes my head want to explode…
Joe Biden told the world that the pandemic was “over” on SUNDAY NIGHT:
“The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over,” President Biden tells 60 Minutes in an interview in Detroit. https://t.co/7SixTE3OMT pic.twitter.com/s5fyjRpYuX

So… “over” in the sense that you can stop wearing masks, but not in the sense that you can refuse the jab and keep your job…
That clears it up.
As referenced in the NY Post article above, courts are overturning these mandates. This has cost many people their livelihoods, so how are we going to make it right?
Oh, yeah… the government is the one in the wrong, so we’re not…
Just sweep all this under the rug. Forgive and forget like a good little peasant.
It’s not just the teachers, either. Your kids are suffering because of these policies too. Last month, I wrote an article about Muriel Bowser denying a public education to unvaccinated students (with no virtual option – get jabbed or get out). She just expects them to drop out, I guess…
Education isn’t the only line of work that’s being affected, of course, but I’m not going to bore you by beating a dead horse.
The fact of the matter is… our politicians enjoy making us miserable. They thrive on it, actually. If there’s no discord, then there’s no real need for them (which is why instead of actually fixing a problem, they just create new ones).
If you really wanted the jab, then you almost certainly already have it. Leave those of us that don’t alone already (and quit punishing us for our decision). Geez…
