@ohuo+1c15agBB - this is a layoff forum, we don’t all work for the same company anymore. That’s the point.
I don’t think it’s the ugly side. I think it’s the woke side.
I wonder if they will have the same requirements for Legato. Given that they will let you go and hire them because you did not get the jab !
Wow, reading these comments makes me realize why Anthem is going down the tubes. What ever happened to being nice? We all work for the same company & these comments are pathetic . Social media got y’all hiding behind your screens and showing your ugly side.
No job and No medical care - Good luck anti-vaxxers
In Alabama, where the nation’s lowest vaccination rate has helped push the state closer to a record number of hospitalizations, a physician has sent a clear message to his patients: Don’t come in for medical treatment if you are unvaccinated.
Jason Valentine, a physician at Diagnostic and Medical Clinic Infirmary Health in Mobile, Ala., posted a photo on Facebook this week of him pointing to a sign taped to a door informing patients of his new policy coming Oct. 1.
“Dr. Valentine will no longer see patients that are not vaccinated against covid-19,” the sign reads.
@ipkj+1c15agBB - More likely the trial will be for manslaughter - just get the vaccine and stop this nonsense

America’s most battle-tested health workers, there is no denying their new reality: The patients they are moving heaven and earth to treat are the patients whose decisions are prolonging the pandemic.
“It’s extremely frustrating, the ignorance of people not getting the vaccine because they don’t believe in it, or they don’t think it’ll help them,” Ingle said. “You have the chance to get them. They’re free. And people still refuse.”
You must have been fired from a company that mandated the jab in order to join the massive Class Action lawsuit for Crimes against Humanity, Wrongful Termination, etc... Let them fire you. Keep all documents about mandated vaccine. You might not ever need to work again after this lawsuit.
@brsx+1c15agBB - your the type of person to not get vaccinated and then beg for it while in hospital

Please be quiet and get off your neezzzzz. You’re the type of person to run to management and tell them this website is out there and then when they lay you off the next week you run back here and vent. Bozo
If you don’t like Anthem’s vaccine policy then leave. No one is forcibly keeping you here. Stop complaining and move on. The company will be just fine without you.
Same nonsense going on at Centene. I think all the anti-vaxxer‘s should quit and start Novax Health Inc. Jenny McCarthy can be the CEO - slogan “Just don’t do it”

@6pqz+1c15agBB - CVS for sure. I got mine. They even schedule the 2nd appointment automatically for you.
Article sites the CDC, John Hopkins, Emory. I don’t see any difference in Fox News reporting. Facts are facts regardless of the source.

@4rtb+1c15agBB - you're source of information is CNN?

Where in this country is ANY pharmacy giving shots in 2 weeks increments? Not ONE !! See how d-mb you look trying to be smart?
Just watch - at open enrollment this year - they will prob offer that bonus amount for covid shot - like they did with flu shot ($100) towards your premium. But, probably make it more attractive.
Just remember....how many times has Anthem lied to you in the past? How many times has the CDC changed the "science"?
How long is it going to take management to figure out how many remote workers that aren't listed in the exception statement at the bottom of the notice do not have badges to comply with the August 4th form submission deadline? No badge id = no response! DUH!!!
Don’t be surprised if they step back the offices opening. The article is say that fully vaccinated people can spread the delta variant the same as unvaccinated as its as contagious as chicken pox which is like a R naught of 10 ( covid was Ro 2.5 ish last year at peak) . The vaccine is preventing serious illness, but not preventing spread. If you’re going into an office mask up peeps, and watch them walk this office opening back CDC document warns Delta variant appears to spread as easily as chickenpox and cause more severe infection

Anytime anything is mandated or forced it’s not because they love you or care about you. It’s solely to dominate you or because of money. Stand strong and don’t get it
One of the things about disinformation campaigns is the tendency to couch in terms of unsupported claims as secondary. The technique attempts to shift the focus to the question instead of the false premise.
Don't you find it at least somewhat interesting that all of the athletes testing positive right now have all been vaccinated already and the ones that haven't been aren't?
And then the poster of vaccine disinfo finds out the J&j vaccine isn't mRNA - uh oh, bizarre excuses supported by a quack website irrelevant. On to the next excuse for worshipping a reality tv star.
Wait till you find out your parents turned over your vaccination records to the gubmint to get you into kindergarten (what a waste of 12 years that was)
Read the fine print. It gives a third part access to your PHI and they may share it where federal or state law ALLOWS or requires it. Their commitment to safeguarding is is “every reasonable effort” which doesn’t legally mean a thing.
So the government will use employers to gather the data for them so they can track and see who has had what. They can’t access it under HIPAA and through your medical records, but HIPAA isn’t applicable here or they would be required to disclose the HIPAA policy (like when you go to the Dr and they provide you a copy to sign).
So disappointing.
And you're welcome to keep your plague bearing body at home, away from society.
And don't forget to fill out your "do not treat for covid" medical card.
My body, my choice
The form definition of fully vaccinated was 14 days after your last shot being the definition if full vaccinated and 3 health questions about fever, exposure.etc, answer right you get a green ok, answer wrong you get a big red box saying your badge is deactivated and your manager had been notified … it’s actually threatening looking. I think badges are only active for 24 hours so some might have to do this every day
I'm afraid I'll be magnetized and then the space lasers will have a target to lock on.

You aren’t too bright either. Bozo
They told you on July 26 that you had to be fully vaccinated to enter on Aug 9. I know counting seems like science to you antivaxxers but I'll help out: that's 1 week plus another week - oh look that adds up to 2 weeks omg! Science!
Nobody is getting a Johnson and Johnson shot. You are about as slow as Gail
Reply to @2wna+1c15agBB
Look genius. If they are just now telling you there is NO WAY you can be FULLY vaccinated by the 4th. Sheep
"Nobody can be fully vaccinated by Aug 4."
Uh, I am. And the J&J vaccine is readily available between now and Aug 4th for everyone that isn't.
Nobody can be fully vaccinated by Aug 4.
Yup me and another colleague in BH will be out soon. We don’t want vaccine so looks like Aug 4 will be our layoff date. Bye y’all!
Bye woowoos!
I think it’s required if you want to be in an office. They want everyone to complete the form for future planning / opening other office sites.
Basically, Anthem is pandering to the federal and state governments because if they want to stay off the naughty list, they have to comply with the ridiculous guidelines being passed down. Heart disease ki--s hundreds of thousands every year, and they aren’t requiring everyone to come in at a healthy BMI. And before anyone screeches “obesity isn’t contagious” go ahead and look at the COVID data and which demographics are driving this pandemic. Old and fat/unhealthy.
So really, if we weren’t such a fat society, we wouldn’t have had shutdowns, people losing their livelihood, teens committing su----e at unprecedented rates, the inflation that followed shutdowns, etc. If ANY of this were about health, THAT is where the money would be going. Not to big pharma and elites for a virus with a minuscule mortality rate.
So, if I am reading the email correctly, you basically have to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to work for Anthem. Even for those associates who work at home and never step into an office (I have worked from home since March of 2006-15 years!). Are there any exemptions or is it too bad so sad?
Wait! They are requesting you to have the vaccine by Aug 4th?
I suspect that it will be used as a tool to fire people. Work at home associates who rarely if ever enter a building are having to fill out the same forms giving your vaccine status... and thus providing the company with a list of people who they could fire for non compliance. I haven't had a covid vaccine yet, i'm waiting for a different class of vaccine because of allergies... however I feel like i'll be putting a target on my back over this. Really I haven't been in an office since 2018, and i'm 100% WAH... but I am fearful of having to fill out anything thing giving a vaccine status, and having to claim a 'disability' status... because we all know the first people RIF'd are those who have LOA or a disability status.
