While vaccines do not completely eliminate transmission of COVID-19, they reduce the likelihood of catching the disease

LIE

“They should get better lawyers. Now the company faces and avalanche of liability if anyone of their forced vaxed employees get sick or dies”

You sure about that?

There are plenty of large corporations (with 7 New York law firms) requiring their employees to get vaccinated even without the mandate.

If the employee does not want the vaccination they have the option of quitting...that is how the court would decide.

Just leave your employees alone.

Good grief.

None of my employees will ever be nagged about getting a medical procedure much less be forced into it.

Exception made for injuries that occur on the job.

Bleeding on the inventory is frowned on.

There is no “tightrope.” It’s an issue of body autonomy. Does a company have the right to force you to make an irreversible change to your body as a condition of continued employment? The obvious answer is NO.

There is not potential "legal liability" for Cahartt that required them to require the Jim Jones Jab for the workforce. The Jim Jones Jab doesn't prevent anyone from getting nor from transmitting COVID-1984.

David Lewis, the CEO of the human resources consulting firm OperationsInc., is a fraud and a liar. While firms have a responsibility for providing a safe working environment, coronaviruses are airborne and are found everywhere.

Carhartt CEO Mark Valade is an ignorant clown. He claims an unvaccinated workforce is both a people and business risk that our company is unwilling to take. Well, Mark you ignorant ass, the "vaccines" don't prevent anyone from getting nor spreading COVID-1984. If you're making these ignorant decisions, what other ignorant decisions are you making for your company?

If the "vast majority" of Carhartt's employees are vaccinated or "in the process of becoming so" what do they have to fear from those who haven't taken the Jim Jones Jab?

It's complete propaganda to claim "while vaccines do not completely eliminate transmission of COVID-19, they reduce the likelihood of catching the disease and dramatically improve the odds of avoiding hospitalization or death. Those who have received booster shots are even more protected. Vaccine mandates have been successful at driving up vaccination rates." No, O M M O I R C O R N O I N C proved the "vaccines" DO NOT reduce the likelihood of catching COVID-1984.


Those who've taken the Jim Jones Jab have HIGHER odds of being hospitalized as evidenced by the actual numbers in hospital. As for death, OMICRON is killing so few with the Jim Jones Jab or without it.
Those who received additional "booster" Jim Jones Jabs are not more protected, they're less protected, again, as evidenced by the numbers in hospital.

The evidence from non-lockdown states and the country of Sweden, and those that banned employer mandates shows that the Jim Jones Jabs don't work as well as herd immunity.

It's also a complete lie to say that "Those who are unvaccinated tend to be younger than 50 and less educated." when the opposite is true; the highest group of those who refuse to take the Jim Jones Jab are those with PhDs. So much for the "uneducated".

As for "regions within the country that have been more on board with vaccinations than those that have not.", those regions with the highest rates of the Jim Jones Jabs have the highest rates of COVID infection.

Karhartt can join the list of Pfascist korporations to be brought up before the Nuremberg II tribunals.

Odd that they never talk about IMMUNITY. Isn’t the purpose of a real vaccine IMMUNITY? But no - “vaccination” is the operative word.

I had Covid in January 2021. Antibodies were at 45, 55, and 69 during August 2021, October 2021, and January 22, respectively. I have been NATURALLY vaccinated. Not going to get the jab, because I judiciously chose to trust my God-given immune system. It worked and is working just fine. Was it a risk? Of course. But a calculated risk, just like taking getting vaccinated is.

Yeah, and that might be the ruling. After they expend the money and effort to fight it in court. But they won’t get that ruling for free.

Much of the clientele of Carhartt may find this extreme wokeness to be just a bridge too far, and they will be looking at the trade catalogs of others lines, Duluth Trading or other real “working men’s outdoor clothing” retailers and online suppliers.

Of course, there is a certain part of their customer base that wildly cheers this assertion on the part of Carhartt.

But like Dick’s Sporting Goods, it is still going to affect the bottom line. I have not been back since they banned all firearms.

In business case studies, this is going to be right up there with Gillette decrying toxic masculinity in men’s shaving commercials.

Why…require employees be "vaccinated" when the "vaccinations" do not prevent people from contracting and transmitting the China Virus?

Exactly! The company can accomplish their socially responsible conscience by inserting the phrase “effective and safe” in front of “vaccine” throughout their company policy statement.

“Why even have require employees be “vaccinated” when the “vaccinations” do not prevent people from contracting and transmitting the China Virus?”

Because two little old white guys keep telling them they must vaccinate at all costs or everyone will die.

“My sister is fully shot up and currently in the hospital after testing positive last week and now fighting pneumonia.”

I am very sorry to hear this news. Best wishes and prayers for her, you and everyone concerned.

The vaccines target a protein from a version of the virus that is 2 years old and has mutated. The powers claim this generations old jab is more effective than the immunity built up by having the virus, recent spike proteins and every other component of the virus as a bonus, your body has a record.

It just got more subjective when you don't have the benefit of having a law to be able to point at," said David Lewis, the CEO of the human resources consulting firm OperationsInc.

Sounds like HR. It goes with the basic HR principle of management: "Never be in the same room as a decision."
