Vaccine mandates hurting employment, Federal Reserve reports | Washington Examiner

Most employers shared that they would like to implement COVID-19 vaccine mandates but were concerned about losing employees, the Atlanta Fed reported. “Worries about employee mental health, burnout, safety, and vaccine mandates impacting company culture were mentioned.

About 3% of the U.S. labor force, or 4.3 million workers, quit their jobs in August, a record high that goes in tandem with a little over 10.4 million job openings that same month.

Many companies have begun implementing their own vaccine mandates. Some businesses are also preemptively enforcing vaccine mandates ahead of the implementation of President Joe Biden’s executive order compelling mandates for companies with more than 100 employees .

I think not getting vaxed has become a form of protest, somewhat like setting yourself on fire, as those Vietnamese monks did back in the 1960s. You could say, quite rightly, to a monk — Please, don’t set yourself on fire! But notwithstanding the irrationality of the act, the monks did have a point. Same thing with that guy in Tunisia who set himself on fire when the bureaucrats wouldn’t let him sell sandwiches. And yes, like voting for Trump.
