Some of us are of a vintage to remember (and to have survived) the Hong Kong Flu, AIDS, the Avian Flu et cetera ad nauseum.

The 20-30 something Chicken Little Chads and Karans are just bunch of dumb clucks...or something that rhymes with that.

I believe that CNM has a new owner as of January 1. Pretty sure they didn’t buy this to shut it down.

This action by CNN is an acknowledgement that their vaccinated employee population is not protected.

Twitter and Facebook must ban them immediately for spreading vaccine disinformation.

This will put a damper on Bring Your Child to Work Day.

That’s probably a good thing.

“CNN has essential employees?”

Cleaning personnel.

Security guards.

People (mainly “of color”) who cannot work remotely with an artificial (and CCP monitored) “ZOOM background”

Welcome to life on the Bidenistan plantation.

Exactly. I recently read that Google, if I recall correctly, which requires vaccination, no exceptions, has indefinitely delayed reopening of their offices. If the vaccine is so great why these office is not open and running like normal?

The absolutely refused to admit it but, the reality is, they know the vaccine does not work as originally advertised to stop Covid infection and transmission.

I would assume they would keep the on air “talent” in the studio and just the Minimal number of cameras, sound, production, etc. people around. The rest of the researchers, producers, support staff etc. Will be at home.
