My hubby was faced with the same choice.
He refused to get vaxxed
Interestingly, he wasn’t fired.
Imagine what we could have done, what we could have prevented if we had all displayed some guts and had stuck together.
Here’s a question...
How in Hades did GMA not realize how this would look?
Why did they use the footage??
If your husband is a college grad with a white collar corporate/government job, then his bravery is an exception to the rule.
The old school blue collar union factory workers stuck together and weren’t afraid of getting fired.
The “I have to get the degree to get the corporate/government White collar job” crowd are programmed from kindergarten to shut up, don’t make waves, and “play the game”.
My HR Director slow walked all corporate pressures over mandating vaccine shots. The corporation even bought a “Shot Bus” all painted up with vaccine graphics to go from site to site. The message was being given. Thankfully the HR Director at our site refused to get on the bus as they say. She said there were union matters in the push to vaccinate, which was just a delay tactic. Today the bus sits in a storage lot while the lease is still being paid. I suspect it will go to wholesale auction once the lease is up.
Indeed, and not just the vax. The insane cloth mask mandates, the closures of mom and pop shops/churches/gyms but not the big box stores/pot shops/liquor stores.
They allowed the rioters to march in large groups without "social" "distancing" or cloth masks, yet required restaurant workers to "check" the vaccination status of someone who wanted to go in and eat and required they wear a "mask" to walk through the restaurant, but could take it off to sit at a table.
All of it completely anti-science, anti-logic and anti-American.
IMV - They did it to get rid of the President that took down 2 family dynasties, survived 4+ years of non-stop 24/7/365 coup attempts by all corners of the federal government and alphabet media and not one, but two "impeachments" and more.
They finally saw their chance to get rid of him by destroying the economy, instilling fear in the public at large and institutionalizing vote rigging/fraud in the contested states.
It's also why the states/localities involved, allowed the rioting/burning/looting to continue virtually unabated. They needed to make Trump look weak...and a racist.
Had hillary won in 2016, there is no doubt none of that would have occurred.
