Raleigh blocks promotions for unvaccinated city workers, first responders push back
WTVD via MSN ^ | 9/15/21

Unvaccinated workers at the City of Raleigh will not be considered for job promotions until they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Some Raleigh first responders say that's too far and are sounding the alarm.

Raleigh's vaccine mandate for city workers was announced in August. It requires city employees to be fully vaccinated by Sept. 17 or submit to weekly testing.

But the details tying vaccinations to promotions are so new that it's not written into official city policy yet. Still, word is trickling down from supervisors at Raleigh police and fire that starting January 1 -- if officers or fire fighters want to be considered for a job promotion, they have to be fully vaccinated for COVID.

"It is not being received well at all," said Raleigh Fire Local 548 President Andrew Davis.

City Hall told ABC11 the policy applies to all city workers, not just public safety personnel. Moreover, police and fire are being given extra time to comply.

But Davis said his association's survey of 250 Raleigh firefighters showed 83% disagree with the policy.

Again.... since there is a large percentage of blacks and hispanics who choose not to vax... Raleigh is denying promotions to blacks and hispanics.

I guess they assume the courts will actually let stuff like this go through. And they are probably right. Where did my country go?

Coming soon to everywhere else near you.

I have nowhere to advance to where I am. That was eliminated a few years ago. But it’s a good gig but I have told a few PHB types I am not getting that poison.

A good many of us aren’t.

Haven't you caught on to their game? Blacks and Hispanics will still get promoted but whites won't.

Yes indeed and always remember, as the Rs surrender to the Ds on point after point, it will serve to hasten the inevitable.

They'll get an exemption, just like the BLM protestors.

Covid is deadly and highly contagious -- except when attending a mostly peaceful BLM riot.

Unvaccinated people are dangerous to be around -- unless they have dark skin.

Japanese Study — ‘Delta variant is poised to acquire complete resistance to Vaccines’…

September 15, 2021

https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/japanese-study-delta-variant-is-poised-to-acquire-complete-resistance-to-vaccines/

A number of experts have raised concerns that COVID-19 jabs and the mass vaccination program could worsen the pandemic by triggering the development of new variants, via a concept known as antigenic, or immune, escape.

Another study found that a worst-case scenario can develop when a large percentage of a population is vaccinated but viral transmission remains high, driving the development of resistant strains.

Yup. Fighting an incredibly stupid policy makes authorities resist more. Stand back and let their policies destroy the institutions. Let them own their bad decisions.

It’s already playing out in states like Massachusetts where there is such a shortage of school bus drivers, due to vaxx mandates, the state has been forced to call out the national guard to drive the busses.
