Covid-19 - Treatments & Vaccines

I received a letter that stated that actually it’s the vaccinated’s mutated genes that are causing the health risks to the unvaccinated
 
Why is the mandate on businesses over 100 people. Why not just require it for all business? What’s the distinction with the 100 people?
 
Resources? if employees don't get the vaccine, they have to get tested weekly. Bigger businesses would have more ability to coordinate that?

Because small business owners are the most important people in America according to politicians

Title VII kicks in at 100 employees (50 for federal contractors) to require EEO-1 reporting to the EEOC for employee demographics (race, gender, disability, etc.) So presumably they could add vaxxed/unvaxxed to the reporting requirement to be able to track and enforce it. For a smaller company the feds wouldn't have an existing mechanism to track the status, and thus no real way to enforce it.

Going hand in hand with that, 100 employees also triggers WARN requirements for mass layoffs and closings. So if, under the mandate, an office had to be closed because too many people were unvaxxed, the feds would know about it.

Kudos to providing useful and non-trolling information.
 
This needs more circulation…

[h=1]U.S. could authorize Pfizer COVID-19 shot for kids age 5-11 in October -sources[/h]

https://www.reuters.com/business/he...-kids-age-5-11-could-come-october-2021-09-10/

Sept 10 (Reuters) - Top U.S. health officials believe that Pfizer Inc's (PFE.N) COVID-19 vaccine could be authorized for children aged 5-11 years old by the end of October, two sources familiar with the situation said on Friday.

The timeline is based on the expectation that Pfizer, which developed the shot with Germany's BioNTech (22UAy.DE), will have enough data from clinical trials to seek emergency use authorization (EUA) for that age group from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) towards the end of this month, the sources said.

They anticipate the FDA could make a decision on whether the shot is safe and effective in younger children within three weeks of the EUA submission.


Potentially huge news.
 
I've seen this as well. Delta varient wouldn't exist without the vaccine.

Was looking around at this…it’s more BS

“Covid-19 vaccination didn’t really begin in India until January 2021, about three months after the Delta variant had emerged. Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna did not receive emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for their Covid-19 mRNA vaccines until December 2020, the same month that the Astra-Zeneca Covid-19 vaccine first received authorization in the U.K. All of this was after all four of the Variants of Concern had already been spreading.”
 
Maybe already posted but just saw that Miami airport dogs are over 97% accurate in smelling active Covid on masks. Unreal.

A: Science. The same reason that the USPS (and members of Congress and their staffs) are exempted, but FEDEX and UPS are not. All of the science.

USPS isn’t exempted. Update your Google machine. Even right wing sources are reporting it correctly.

Pretty sure the White House can’t force Congress to do something.

Too busy at work!

Thanks for useful answer and not trolling.
