Not Nice
It is hard to believe. I thought it would change with FDA approval.
You were more optimistic than I. I figured that they'd just find some other excuse. We lost our long-term TV meteorologist (and friend) yesterday. He was fired for refusing to get the vaccine as mandated by the station's parent company. He posted a huge long screed on his personal FB page about getting the ax, "freedom," "choice," and other bullshit. I was totally shocked. I had no idea he was a science-denying moron. So he sacrificed his career for a political b.s. thing. OTOH the station has been pushing all the long-time on-air personalities into retirement because ad revenues are way down due to the pandemic. There were only three of them left, and he was one of them. I think that he was on his way out anyways, after being there for 33 years -- and one of the highest paid employees. The other two who are left announced their upcoming retirements later this year.
