Curious if GE is going to mandate the vaccine. They might not need to do a layoff depending on how many people walk.

The silver lining is that when GE requires it, they will be taking on all liability for any side effects or early death. The AD&D policy will have to pay for limb amputations from the clotting the same as if they happened on site and on company time.
Who knows if GE will still have anything left for your lawyer to seize though...
And good luck getting another job if you get crippled by the vax.
They say "Follow the science, follow the science..." but there is no discussion about natural immunity.
Natural immunity is better than any vaccine and there are millions and millions of Americans who have contracted and recovered from Covid. So why must ALL be vaccinated?
All this does is drive the virus to mutate faster. This is not about science, or health, it is about money and control.
Go ahead and bow and kiss the ring. I WILL NOT!!!
My hats off to the pro freedom folks on this site. I was beginning to think that everyone had forgotten that we live in a free country. Keep the faith brothers and sisters.
Statistics lie ......... and liars love statistics.
It’s not if you should get the vac or not get it… it’ should be a choice not forced on people…. You can tell who the Demorats are in these comments… id--ts…. See what you say when they take your g-ns next
GE got on its knees and rolled over for Obama. You get what you f'en deserve!!
It's not about facts. It's about destroying your freedom so the government can control everything. It's really that simple. That's why the financial institutions and government has been flooding us with vaccine propaganda from day one. The only stats they push out are self serving lies and everyone knows it.
The CDC tells more lies than pinnochio. Everyone has heard their line of B.S. sponsored by the CCP.
More condescending propaganda is what I hear. Please explain math to again. How does it work? My IQ is only in the genius range so I really struggle with complicated problems. Maybe I can get chairman Xi to help me.
It IS all about the math. Recently CDC reported that unvaccinated people were roughly 10 times more likely to be hospitalized than vaccinated people. Run some simple numbers.
Compare a country A with 50% vaccination rate with a country B with a higher vaccination rate, say 90%. Say 10% of unvaccinated people become hospitalized vs 1% of vaccinated, following the 10:1 ratio.
For 1000 people, Country A would have 500 vaccinated, 500 unvaccinated, leading to 5 vaccinated and hospitalized, 50 unvaccinated and hospitalized. Over 90% (50/55) of those hospitalized would be unvaccinated. This is what has been reported for the US with its 50% vaccination rate.
For 1000 people, Country B would have 900 vaccinated, 100 unvaccinated --> 9 vaccinated and hospitalized, 10 unvaccinated and hospitalized. Only 53% of those hospitalized would be unvaccinated, and roughly half of those hospitalized would be vaccinated. This is closer to the situation in Israel, with its vaccination rate exceeding 80%.
In the limit, if everyone was vaccinated, everyone hospitalized would have been vaccinated.
So, you see, it is in the math.
Yeah and in the big Isreal study, half of the people sick in the hospital have had the vax. This is not about logic or math or finance. This is just about getting you under control and taking away all your constitutional rights under the guise of an emergency. Don't be stupid. Nobody has the right to mandate vaccines on somebody else's body. GE should be ashamed for not standing up for human rights here. Don't be a Coward. Stay in shape and don't worry about getting the flu. Jeez louise. What a bunch of pa----s.
Vaccine costs $20-30 per dose. Average cost of hospital stay for Covid patient is $50000. GE can do the math. GE already charges a big surcharge for smokers. Delta Airlines is now charging unvaccinated employees $200/month extra for their health insurance. Surprised that GE hasn't put the hammer down already - for GE money talks.
If they can make you “VAX” what else can they make you do
Joe got to go!
Im surprised it hasn't been mandated already. Not like the weak @zz IAM union is going to fight for our CHOICE. I took the 1st but im putting off the 2nd. They are already brainwashing the masses on mutations, boosters, etc. Yet the dr-g companies have said that no, they are not 100% effective. There's even a company that right now, is concocting the MOAV. This has 1st dose, 2nd, booster, flu shot, and some other vax we get as kids. And we will still be working with masks on. Isnt this the same Prez that tried to put athletes in prison for shooting FDA approved test? Remember him leading the steroid comish? Everyday just gets better doesn't it?
Alot of medical advice on here from people who couldn't make it through HVCC. I'll keep listening to my MD, 30 year ICU nurse mother, every national guard Doc, all DOD medical officers and the Surgeon General. But hey thats me.
Not vaxed. I watch as half the shop takes time out for covid over the last year or 2. Many have had the jab. I have taken none off. Just sayin.
We are vaxed, exposed to two unvaxed all day long who became very ill over the next two days. Vaccine worked for us. Just saying…
So I will lose my job. Life goes on. GE isn't doing me a favor. This is a business relationship. I can find other work. Even if not, I will still not take this thing. The vaccine has neither been proven safe nor effective. It's just propaganda. It's sad for those of you who have taken it. But to each his own
See if anyone walks out before the layoff?
Like it or not you're either getting vaccinated or lose your job. And it's sad if you choose the latter because of so much disinformation around a safe and effective vaccine.
GE is a federal contractor and therefore all employees will require vaccination with no option for testing, just like federal employees. No exemptions allowed.
The purpose of the vaccine is to greatly reduce the number of hospitalizations of Covid patients, and deaths, and to relieve the heavy burden on our health system. The average cost of a stay is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and takes up beds needed for other emergencies.
So the people that are for the vaccine, I’m curious, why are you so focused on others getting the vaccine? The shot only protects you. But you can still get COVID and you can still spread COVID. You can still get really sick even if you’ve had the shot and you can still die. The only thing the shot does is potentially make your symptoms milder. That’s it.
Nobody is forcing you to be vaccinated but you will then have to get tested every week at your own expense. Thousands of dollars a year.
The vaccine is safe and effective. Unvaccinated mo--ns are clogging up hospitals then family's putting up gofundme for funeral expenses. There is no reasonable or unselfish reason to not get vaccinated. GE will be better off without you if you're that d-mb.
I will not be taking the vaccine so I guess I will be fired. I have religious and health and other rational reasons to not take it. GE will lose a lot of the best people. There is no good science behind this thing. It's all about control. That should be obvious to any impartial person.
Cowardly that GE didn't do this prior to today's announcement. But at least now the knuckledragging anti-vax employees will either have to be vaccinated or pay for their own tests. Or you can quit and work for yourself and have lots of time screaming into the void hahahaha!
"Any private business with 100 or more employees will be required to vaccinate them."
They will mandate it. The ones who refuse will pay alot more in health insurance. Anything to make a easy buck, ge will do.
Walk to where?
zvb+1cK0GFOJ, I bet you’re wrong.
I hope They do mandate it. I bet all the employees who said they would never get the vaccine will be throwing their arm out to keep themselves employed.
They will because .gov says if you wanna do business with us, you got to take the jab.
They will still have a Permanent layoff
