Sen. Bill Hagerty: Biden's vaccine mandate is killing our economy and hurting our workers
Fox News ^ | 11/3/02021 | Bill Hagerty

Posted on 11/08/2021 9:54:30 AM PST by george76

We should not damage America's economy by forcing citizens to choose between their jobs and their personal freedom..

American Airlines cancels 2,000 flights in four days while airline enforces vaccine mandate..

Laura Cox, a Texas resident and United airlines pilot, faces potential termination if she does not get the COVID-19 vaccine..

Imagine it’s Thanksgiving and you’re scheduled to fly home to celebrate the holiday with your family, but at the last minute, your flight is canceled. You try to get through to customer service to see if there’s another flight, but the recorded voice comes online to advise there will be "a four-hour wait."

It’s now unclear if you’ll be able to make it home at all. The reason? resident Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal government workers took effect right before Thanksgiving and, combined with related federal contractor and private employer mandates, caused many dedicated professionals – security personnel, pilots, ticket clerks, drivers, luggage handlers, and customer service representatives – to leave the workforce or look elsewhere for employment.

With so many employees, it’s difficult to think that a vaccine mandate could sideline an entire airline, but it’s already happened. Thousands of Americans experienced this first-hand a few weeks ago when Southwest Airlines – one of the nation’s largest carriers – canceled thousands of flights in the midst of employee backlash over its vaccine mandate.

...

Biden's politics-over- governing approach will wreak havoc throughout the economy.

...

Biden administration is trying to put a lump of coal in Americans’ stockings this Christmas (never mind, they are killing the coal industry too).

...

The diversion worked in the short term – taking media attention away from the Afghanistan debacle

...

We should not damage our own economy by forcing citizens to choose between their jobs and their personal freedom

Lots of gums flapping in DC but not a lot of action. Republicans should’ve been screaming into every possible microphone in SEPTEMBER when Biden first announced this. We’re relying on our governors to save us. The GOP should be run out of town.

I’m of the opinion that Biden’s dummy act is just a ruse to make us believe stuff like this is by accident instead of design.

President Trump isn’t vocal on this subject at all - I’ve received one email where he is mentioning it, but I certainly don’t hear him saying much about it.

It’s unconscionable to me. There’s no doubt in the minds of most folks that this means complete destruction of the economy.

Lip service.

I live in Tennessee and work for a state university, and the state legislature has folded like a tent regarding me having to take the clot shot. They are only trying to help private businesses with more than 100 employees. The University of Tennessee system has been exempt to any of the measures the special session passed last week to prevent employers from making people choose between jab or job.

Total sell outs.

How about we VOTE OUT every RINO who must face a primary in 2022 and replace them with fearless patriots who will fight for We the People.

Do this at the state and federal level, and we have a shot at getting our country back.

Biden is President

Republicans can effectively do nothing except bring a lawsuit and get an injunction. Have they done that? I don’t know.

Biden is killing his party. We are experiencing pain but democrat death may be worth it

The Democrats have been whining and complaining about what a racist, bellicose, homophobic and imperialistic country America is, so who on earth would think they would do anything but destroy it?

How can a president make people take a vaccine that does not stop the virus, allow them in to work if they have the vaccine that doesn’t work, and then blame Trump for it’s failures when his biggest push was, and currently is, stopping the virus which cannot be ever reached as it morphs at the drop of a hat and new shots are required as the new virus replaces the infections of the old one? And they think one of the vaccines will work for the new strains. (Think?) And the old vaccine has a shelf life and needs a booster to continue to not stop the virus. Am I missing something?

It’s not a vaccine. The FDA approved one isn’t even available.

Words matter. Call it what it is. An experimental drug.

They should have been screaming when this nonsense started.
You want to shut down the Country?
Pass a law.

The more correct title should be “...hurting our economy and killing our workers!”

Vaccine mandates are evil.

Republicans need to speak the word.

Evil.

Evil.

“An experimental drug.”

Need a laugh? Here is the material data safety sheet (MSDS) for the Pfizer. In the precautions for safe handling it states this:

Sec 7

“Advice on safe handling Restrict access to work area.
No open handling permitted. Minimize generating airborne mists and vapors. If solvent based liquid, ground and bond all bulk transfer equipment. Use appropriate engineering controls to maintain exposures below the B-OEB taking all applicable routes of exposure into consideration. A change area to facilitate ‘good laboratory/manufacturing’ decontamination practices is recommended. Avoid inhalation and contact with skin, eye, and clothing. When handling, use appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Wash hands and any exposed skin after removal of PPE. Releases to the environment should be avoided. Review and implement appropriate technical and procedural waste water and waste disposal measures to prevent occupational exposure or environmental releases. Potential points of process emissions of this material to the atmosphere should be controlled with dust collectors, HEPA filtration systems or other equivalent controls.”

You apparently can’t touch it without protection, but they demand you inject it into your body. (More than once)
