We fired a lab technician last week for not being vacc'd. People who can work from home were given 5 days to declare their intentions, and until the end of the year to get the shot.

No testing option?

Wait until they figure out that most nurses are female.
That will make this mandate misogyny

Only if you're excepted for medical or religious exemption.

Didn't one of your reports try for a religious exemption? How did that work out?

Wife's company basically had the same policy.
Her employer has employees all across the country. Prior to the policy update, the vaccination rate was already 90% company-wide.

Curious about something and you might be the perfect person to ask…
Let’s say an employee is on the record as being against the vaccine, but under the threat of being placed on unpaid leave they get the vaccine. As shitty ass luck would have it, they wind up being part of the .0025% that die from the vaccine. Is there a threat of damages on the company? Obviously there wouldn’t be under the OSHA mandate but since that has been suspended it is now an employer position…

I'm staying well away from that.
I'm an engineer, Jim, not a lawyer. My strategy is to have as absolutely as little involvement as is humanly possible.

Ok, what are your chances of getting COVID-19 from a healthcare provider in PPE and getting a life-altering disease from tainted blood? Your chances of surviving C-19 are pretty good. HIV may have more of an impact on your life style and your life span.
Oh good, now we are down to negotiating
a priceprobabilities.Now, Mr. I-used-to-inspect-blood-banks, what are the chances that the blood bank system let slip a pint of blood that is HIV+?
Hey, shithead, I don't question Jon's knowledge of finance, Mik's expertise in legacy hospital information systems, Aqua's power of the pen, George's knowledge of how to pass gas or LuFin's knowledge of the current piano market. I've spent 41 years in the clinical lab biz, with a three year stint in immunohematology. Shit, I'm sitting in a hospital as I type this, jaw-jacking with the lab staff...About a fourth of them used to work for me.
If I'm going to hang a unit on a patient, I want it to the best I can give them. Admittedly, COVID has thrown a monkey-wrench into things. I had a bleeder last weekend that I could not get A neg for...I told the doc to put a cork in him and we would try to get some blood out of Texas. Luckily, we did, about the time his hgb hit 7. If not, I'd already made the decision to use A POS and try to keep him alive until we could find blood or the antibodies kicked in on subsequent units and killed him. Why no O neg, you say? Solid gold, friend. We're in such a bind for the universal donor emergency stuff, we treat it like the jewel it is. Usually, when you change types to something else compatible you hang with it, but you can't hang what you ain't got.
The doc makes the final decisions, but there are times when the best advice I can give, is crappy advice. But, c'est la vie.
Now, tell me what you know about crossmatch procedures and compatible blood. I've got a family if Bombay's in the area and I'd love to hear your learned thoughts.

Well, I guess the little slant-eyed bastard doesn't know a fucking thing about running a blood bank, unit allocation, unexpected antibodies, eluates or even how to watch a button slide or shake off the bottom of a blood bank tube.
Don't spit on my porch again, asshole.
