Apple Expands Efforts to Vaccinate Employees, But Doesn't Mandate Vaccines

Very good. I’m not for mandates at all, especially for something that’s still in a clinical study till 2023.
the FDA approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine
If you're smart enough to own an Apple product, you should already be vaccinated barring really weird health issues. If you're smart enough to GET a JOB, there, even more so.
This shouldn't even be an issue. Mandate it.
This shouldn't even be an issue. Mandate it.
This is the same FDA that also approves cancer causing ingredients and chemicals in other cases. I’m not really sure they can be trusted.
Follow the big pharma money trail.
this is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Give them the choice. be Vaccinated or unemployment. 😂😂🤣

Oh the moral grandstanding only goes so far, same with all these companies otherwise they would have a different attitude towards China and other places
It’s also the same FDA that claimed late last year to have an open and transparent discussion for any EUA and approval and also made a decision with less than six months of data even though Pfizer was informed of waning efficacy 3-4 months after giving the injection plus also tainted its test group that was designed for a 2 year study but hey safe even though it’s failing with the Delta variant 🙄
Even though Fauci stated the viral load in both groups is the same for Delta.
Aren’t the vaccinated also equally spreading Delta. Help me understand your logic.
Are you claiming all smart people own Apple products, if that is the case we would not have Apple Support.
It’s politically driven and done without transparency plus being less than 50% effective against Delta while FDA requires at least 50% or higher efficacy means the FDA is being disingenuous.
Pfizer basically tainted the trial group and used the global population in mass with the aid of FDA to conduct its trial.
The group on the right can also include the vaccinated, look at Israel, Seychelles, UK, Iceland and Gibraltar.
Ugh. Why is this in the political section? Vaccines are not political. Diseases are not political.
My God, look how insane this has become. The unvaccinated and racist mentioned in the same breath.
Stop spreading FUD and read up on waning antibodies and ADE. It does not matter if you are injected people are carrying the same level of viral load and spreading it while also getting sick, hospitalized and dying.
Vaccine *mandates* are absolutely political.
Homeland Security I believe groups people who do not want to or cannot get vaccinated along with racists as terrorists, unbelievable.
Lol, FDA approved it behind closed doors due to politics this has been noted by many in the science community.
Are your purposely staying uninformed or are you unaware that FDA granted approval due to political pressure.
This is a trick question but throughout history the CIA’s hands in global conflict is drenched in blood.
It’s free will and choice, similar to someone not forcing to do or act in the face of imminent danger as supposed to other who do and are safe or maybe make a decision for the worse. This is life.
What conventional therapies has your coworker tried or been provided. It’s unfortunate to hear your coworker is fighting for their life, hope their recover even if things are looking gloom.
Well documented, you mean like Pfizer tainted the study groups by offering them the injection after the trials which was designed for 2 years. Only a few decided not to get injected after and it’s not enough data to make any conclusions.
You can only make a decision for yourself and anyone unable to do so under your care, making or imposing or coercing a decision onto others is criminal.
Your last two points are invalid
Yes, they can carry the viral load and spread it...
Yes, they can get sick
Hospitalized are mere fractions compared to the unvaccinated hospitalization and death rate
Studies have shown that you are 15-20X more likely to die if hospitalized and unvaccinated.
I’ve been vaccinated but I don’t consider every person who hasn’t gotten the vaccine as “antivax”. People have their reasons whether they’re legitimate or stupid.
Are you fully vaccinated now; good. Months later did you get your booster shot; no, guess what you loose your vaccination status unless you do. Oh suffered a vaccine induced injury and cannot get the second or booster; oh too bad find another job. Think before your speak about future repercussions.
Nobody is "forcing" anyone to get vaccinated
But.. institutions, private business, the US Military as whole countries are requiring vaccination to go there...
Delta Airlines is waffling a little, they will allow unvaccinated employees, but they pay a $200 a month premium.
It's well time the tables turn, don't want to be vaccinated? you can just stay home
You do understand that CDC does not list you as fully vaccinated until day 14 of your second shot right. CDC puts single jabbed day 0-13 in the unvaccinated group.
Most of the treatment methods for this in hospitals will not improve most of the infected regardless of vaccinated or not.
Good.. then get the damned booster
Truth be told, EVERYONE has had access to vaccines in the US for at least 60 days... if you waited, you took a risk with your health and potentially paid a price. Much like the unvaccinated turning up at the hospital sick and asking to get the shot.
The treatment has dramatically improved, your chances of dying today, even if unvaccinated, are far better than they were a year ago
You do understand the definition of coercion, by painting people into a corner either to get what you want or loose your job is by definition “forcing”.
If you are unable due to a prior vaccine induced injury you cannot.
If you are unable due to a prior vaccine induced injury you cannot.
Tough.. as a child my parents had to provide proof of my vaccinations, or I didn't go to school. I went to Africa, I had to produce proof of Yellow Fever vaccination.
Long before COVID every university I ever attended required me to prove my vaccination status or get a titer.
