Kroger to End Some Covid-19 Benefits for Unvaccinated Workers, Dec 14, 2021:"The Cincinnati-based grocery chain told employees last week that it will no longer provide two weeks of paid emergency leave for unvaccinated employees who contract Covid-19, unless local jurisdictions require otherwise. Kroger will also add a $50 monthly surcharge to company health plans for unvaccinated managers and other nonunion employees, according to a memo viewed by The Wall Street Journal. Both policies are effective Jan. 1, the memo said.

Kroger, one of the biggest employers in the U.S. with almost half a million full-time and part-time employees, is tightening pandemic-related policies for workers as U.S. businesses face continued uncertainty over federal vaccination mandates."

Did Kathy Hochul's Vaccine Mandates Backfire in New York? Are they overwhelmed due to a surge of Covid19 patients, or simply shortstaffed because they fired 33,000 healthcare professionals with the "no test" option, no religious exemptions allowed, vaccine mandates? Love how they comment that they comprise "just 3%" of the workforce. Apparently they are being missed.

Upstate New York Hospitals Are Overwhelmed as Covid Cases Surge:"The state estimates that 33,000 health care workers, or just 3 percent of New York’s overall health care work force, left their jobs because of the vaccine mandate, which does not allow for testing in lieu of vaccination or religious exemptions. But because the sector as a whole was already short staffed, the additional job losses have hit hard. Ms. Hochul is being cautious about imposing additional mandates in other areas in light of the experience, she said Thursday at a news conference."

U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Religious Challenge to New York Vaccine Mandate, Dec. 13, 2021:"Acting in two cases, the justices denied emergency requests for an injunction requiring the state to permit religious exemptions while litigation over the mandate's legality continues in lower courts.

 Asa Hutchinson and Bill de Blasio Spar Over Vaccine Mandates: 'It's Keeping People Alive', Dec 12, 2021:"During the appearance on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, host Jake Tapper noted the two political leaders' different opinions on the issue, and then turned to Hutchinson.

"New York City has sweeping mandates for workers and businesses and it might sound too sweeping for some people, but 71 percent of residents of New York City are fully vaccinated," Tapper said.

"Arkansas has no mandates and only 50 percent of your residents are fully vaccinated. Does that not show, Governor Hutchinson, that vaccine mandates work?""

Most reported U.S. Omicron cases have hit the fully vaccinated -CDC, December 10, 2021:"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that of the 43 cases attributed to Omicron variant, 34 people had been fully vaccinated. Fourteen of them had also received a booster, although five of those cases occurred less than 14 days after the additional shot before full protection kicks in. 

While the numbers are very small, they add to growing concerns that current COVID-19 vaccines may offer less protection against the highly transmissible new variant."
