It's health care so obviously we were told that we'd have to be vaccinated against COVID or be fired, like many. Most people went along with it, but the CEO sent out a final warning email to the whole network, and this antivax dingdong somehow managed to reply all to the CEO giving him a patronizing lecture about how COVID wasn't real, how nobody had died of it, and how he had read several patient charts that proved this, and how the CEO was making a very big mistake, and how he, this clerk, knew science better than the CEO did. He was fired for reading patient charts he didn't belong in, of course. The email was super patronizing and he claimed to have an M.Sc and that meant he knew better, despite the fact he was working as a clerk, and gave all sorts of false "evidence".
Anyway he was fired and reply all to the CEO is disabled.
Man that was a crazy time. My mom died before the pandemic while she was pretty young (50s, fuck cancer). She was an RN and her BFF was an LPN. The LPN got fired during COVID for not getting the vaccine and it honestly blew my mind that she was that fucking stupid. She was someone I always respected and had all the other vaccines and got the flu shot every year but for some reason she stuck her head in the sand about COVID.
My mom was a diagnosable germaphobe so I'm pretty confident she would have gotten the vaccine, but seeing the LPN friend not get it, and knowing how conservative and traditionally catholic my mother was, I can never be 100% sure where she would have fallen on that. And I really respected and looked up to my mom. If she lived and thought COVID/the vaccine was fake, I don't know what I would have done in that situation. Kind of scary, really.
