Delta to Require all New Hires to be Vaccinated against COVID-19

ATLANTA — All new Delta employees will now be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before being hired, the company announced Thursday.

The Atlanta-based air line company did not reference whether or not they will be requiring current employees to be vaccinated, but complimented their employees saying they have made “great progress to achieve herd immunity within our workforce.”

A spokesperson for Delta Air Lines released a statement Thursday evening saying,

We know that vaccines are the best tool we have to protect one another and bring an end to the pandemic. Delta people have made great progress to achieve herd immunity within our workforce, so to help us maintain that trajectory, we will be requiring all new hires in the U.S. to be vaccinated against COVID-19 unless they qualify for an accommodation. This is an important move to protect our workforce and our customers as our business recovers and demand for air travel continues to rise. — Delta Air Lines Spokesperson Elizabeth Ninomiya

I am not aware of any company that heretofore required vaccinations for anything as a condition of being hired. The regular seasonal flu can be fatal too and flu shots are pushed every year but were never required by employers.

Delta really, really does not want my business anymore after this year.

Requiring an experimental vaccine as a condition of hire? Wonder how long this will last, which state courts or legislature will stop this? Has Florida addressed requiring vaccine for employment in the state? Texas?

There have been requirements for years for certain destinations (e.g. where yellow fever is present). The issue now is whether employers can mandate an unapproved vaccine. My employer is mandating it for "return to the office". But I am already in the office. So instead I was sent a survey asking if I was going to get vaccinated or not (or if I already have). I answered that I am planning to. It was supposedly anomymous but who knows.

I am not aware of a pandemic that has already killed 585,000 of our fellow Americans, has killed 2.34 million worldwide, and is the worst thing this planet has seen since the flu of 1918.

The experimental vaccines do not prevent anyone from catching or transmitting COVID-19, but their side effects might kill you or damage your health. So why should an employer mandate vaccination for new hires if the vaccines can’t prevent COVID-19?

Probably because the numbers are bogus.

And what happens if the new hire has medical problems that are proven to be a reaction to the vaccine? I’m pretty sure the company would be civilly liable. Same for companies requiring employees to wear masks all day. If mask wearing is latter proven to cause health problems these companies are going to be sued out of existence and justifiably so.

But there are certified 3,400+ deaths resulting from the vaccine and thousands of hospitalized people who had “side effects “. We also know that the number of people who test positive and require medical help from COVID, have been vaccinated.

London has a 300% increase in miscarriages and we have no clue as to the long term effects of the experimental vaccines

But, by all means, rush out and volunteer to take an Approved for Emergency Use Only vaccine for a virus with 99.97% survivable rates

The air line did not reference,,, requiring current employees to be vaccinated,,,,,,

For new employees I believe they can make the shot a condition of employment.

However for existing employees, if they force the shot as a condition of employment and they get sick or die, I believe they can sue deltas ass off. Private companies are not immune from liability like the drug companies are.

I am not aware of obvious lies in government and WHO stats.I am not aware that the CDC says 5% (around 25,000, less than an average flu season) of US deaths were blamed solely on Covid. I am not aware the flu deaths have mysteriously vanished.
I am not aware that China and the US intel community, DOD, Chamber of Commerce, the tech industry and the globalists wanted Trump gone at all costs and have actually lied to us countless times.

It’s fun not being aware I guess.

The "vaccines" are experimental medical products. Is Delta going to assume the liability responsibility for all those who get adverse reactions from these unapproved "vaccines" they are requiring?

If so, we are talking about about millions, if not billions, in liability payouts.

Met a woman maybe 45-50 years old in the bank parking lot today who said, “You can take your mask off now since your’’re vaccinated.” I told her I wasn’t and would get shot.

“Good, “ she said. Then she told me that she’d had two shots, got deathly ill from them and was in hospital for 10 days fighting for her life. Saddled with bills she didn’t know how she’d ever pay.

Kinda convenient that the covid came in like a wrecking ball on the heels of the regular yearly cold and flu season, and somehow the flu disappeared.

Can't help but think this whole thing was planned to create fear porn and make everyone so fearful that the only thing that would get rid of the fear porn would be an experimental gene therapy with unknown results.

I know of people who got the jab after they recovered from a covid hospitalization. They already had the covid and have antibodies for it and no doctor told them not to get the jab?

People, their goal was not to get rid of the covid, it was to entice us to get the jab, a jab filled with an experimental gene therapy they tricked people into thinking it was just a regular old vaccine.

Call me highly skeptical.
