“NRF members, like employers across the economy, are already struggling to find workers.” Requiring vaccines or regular testing “could significantly diminish the labor pool, particularly in some geographic areas and amongst some demographics in which vaccine hesitancy is widespread,” the National Retail Federation wrote to OSHA last month. The criticism is not that "going to work kills people", it is that a trade group is more concerned with losing workers from vaccine mandates than losing workers from dying of a preventable disease. This is the salient concern here, and you have to try to miss it this hard. It's dark but still fascinating to watch.ģ1, There is a connection between not being vaccinated and getting covid then dying and this is especially worrisome risk for people whose work puts them in frequent contact with the public, like say for example, retail. They've made this bed and will continue to lie in it because it gets ratings and wins votes and their followers would rather die or do lasting damage to vital organs than admit the libs were right. If things continue to progress on the same trajectory, with political affiliation being the strongest predictor of vaccine hesitancy - and I see no reason to believe this will change, as long as being antivax pays such high short-term dividends for politicians and media outlets - we will continue to see more sickness, death and economic loss in "red" communities, as more and more people succumb to the virus and its long-term health effects, and the vast majority of americans who choose to vaccinate avoid the plague states.īut if one thing is true about conservatives, they know how to stick to a message. Covid is not currently endemic but will likely be eventually, which is all the more reason for people to get on board with the vaccine, not less, because you're going to need to keep getting them.
