the one gal is talking about people ageing out - retiring. Those of retirement age are most apt to be vaccinated (80% or better), so probably not because of mandate. After 2 years almost of grinding in a salaried position, I’d early out, too if I had the vacation and sick time accrued to do it.

I don’t know how I’d act if political folks told me to inflate vaccination rates for BIPOC so southern white folks were made to look more hesitant than they really are. That would tend to make me a little prickly.

I was a database administrator and programmer analyst who was in charge of the only numbers-reporting program that everyone looked at.

I haven't bothered to look at a single data report about Covid since last March - once I understood the numbers were money driven.

It means they're all garbage - dictated by powerful people who have an interest in what is "reported"...
