Fires 1400, brags about 100% vaccination

Yeah gotta agree on this one. Government workers need to be able to obtain security clearance to do their jobs, healthcare workers gotta get vaccinated, etc...

Indeed. No matter how one feels about vaccinations. I won’t list all the parallels in other industries, you’ve done the summation well. Instead I’ll point to how this meme implies that those 1400 people let go could have eased the personnel shortage. In the same bent as the above points- no. They couldn’t. That’s why they were fired. If a pilot doesn’t trust the industry approved safety measures and decides to do things their way they aren’t useful at all in a pilot shortage unless you are ok putting thousands of lives a day into the hands of a pilot who does what they want and doesn’t follow the rules. If the above security clearance isn’t or can’t be obtained, firing someone from a job where that is a prudent step for safety doesn’t create a shortage, it removes a liability. If they were short on heart surgeons- I don’t want them to say: “well this person rejects the basic principles of medical science and established patient safety- but it’s him or we have to hire someone else..”
