Is anyone outraged by Walgreens vaccine mandate for US employees?

To those who get their "science" from Qanon, Breitbart, and Hannity, here are some facts:
- 90 to 95 percent of those dying from COVID are unvaccinated
- 90 to 95 percent of those in the ICUs because of COVID are unvaccinated
- Regions that have lower vaccinations rates have ICUs that are overwhelmed and people are dying unnecessarily.
- Masks greatly help slow the spread of transmission of virus borne illnesses such as Covid. This is especially true of K95 and surgical masks
- The unvaccinated are running up hundreds of billions of unnecessary medical costs to the American public (Medicare, Medicaid) and employers
- You have the freedom to remain unvaccinated. Your employer has the right to terminate your employment at will.
Supporting data follows. Lets end the conspiracies already. Ignorance borne of political allegiance is helping to ki-l innocent Americans. 800,000 dead Americans and counting, with most dying unnecessarily.

"More Than 7.38 Billion Shots Given: Covid-19 Tracker. In the U.S., 434 million doses have been administered". “While the best vaccines are highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death, it takes a coordinated campaign to stop a pandemic. Infectious-disease experts have said that vaccinating 70% to 85% of the U.S. population would enable a return to normalcy, but boosters may be required to keep the disease in check.”

“Can face masks help slow the spread of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19? Yes. Face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as getting vaccinated, frequent hand-washing and physical distancing, can help slow the spread of the virus.”

“A large, randomized trial led by researchers at Stanford Medicine and Yale University has found that wearing a surgical face mask over the mouth and nose is an effective way to reduce the occurrence of COVID-19 in community settings.” “There were significantly fewer COVID-19 cases in villages with surgical masks compared with the control villages. (Although there were also fewer COVID-19 cases in villages with cloth masks as compared to control villages, the difference was not statistically significant.).”

Internet is undefeated once again. The rumor is true that all employees must be Vax by Jan 4, 2022
They want people back at the office as quickly as possible so vaccine mandates help to pave the way and also try to keep their employees safe.

I think it is wonderful!!!
Great idea!
I have two coworkers that took the vaccine and ended up being very forgetful and unproductive. I believe that is a common side-effect and if so, not sure how long it will last because side effects are still unknown. If you take the vaccine, you can pretty much do only a few things a day and clock out. If you are questioned, just say you think it's a side effect of the vaccine because you were never like that before. They cannot fire you because they were the ones who mandated the vaccine. And now that you cannot get a new job, your employer will have to keep you employed forever.
