The more people die the better for the Republicans. They can blame Biden for it.

Often, the number of people who ultimately refuse the vaccine is smaller than the number who first say they will. Some are persuaded by the information their employer gives them — about the vaccines’ effectiveness and safety, compared with the deadliness of Covid — and others decide they are not really willing to lose their jobs.

A North Carolina hospital system, Novant Health, last week suspended 375 workers, or about 1 percent of its work force, for being unvaccinated. By the end of the week, more than half of them — about 200 — received a shot and were reinstated.

Similar reports have been seen in Oz. Little by little, we will whittle down the unvaccinated into the medical equivalent of flat earthers...

The Victorian Government has announced one of the most stringent vaccine mandates so far. All "authorised workers" will have to have their first jab within 2 weeks from now, and their second one a month after that, or they will lose their jobs. They include virtually everyone who cannot work from home in the lockdown, and have contact with the public. Apparently that is well over a million people in Victoria, and it is estimated that around 300,000 of them have not yet been vaccinated.

From the ABC website:

When Premier Daniel Andrews announced last Friday, October 1, that a vaccine mandate would apply to all authorised workers in Victoria, he said the decision was made to enable the state to safely reopen over the coming weeks and months.

More than a million people count as authorised workers and, under the change, they have until mid-October to have had at least one COVID-19 vaccine to continue working. A large number of those would have already been vaccinated.

Brendan Allen, a qualified carpenter who runs a small business in Melbourne's east, said he was relieved that vaccination had been made mandatory in his industry.

"It's simple for us now, it's either get it done or you can't work," he said.

"If people are wanting to choose that, well it's simple, they can't come on site."

Mr Allen has already been fully vaccinated and he said it made his life easier that the government had mandated the vaccine instead of leaving it up to private businesses or individual sectors to implement as a policy.

"It's nothing I've told them to do or choose," he said.

"If you're an essential worker, you've got to be vaccinated and if you want to work, that's the way it is."

The sentiment of that builder has been echoed by many private employers. Partly it's "the government are the big bullies, not us", but also that it is a rational, across the board policy so that individual worksites don't have to make their own policies.

We will see how lifting the lockdown proceeds.

What’s scarier than swarming hostage situations and running into burning buildings?

Apparently, for many police officers and firefighters… the Covid vaccine.
