Comrade citizens, in the first in nation development, Delta Airlines Corporation has announced it will begin fining non-vaccinated employees $200/month for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. The fine will be deducted from the paycheck of Delta employees who are enrolled in their healthcare plan and not vaccinated.
This is a remarkable development and likely to begin a process we might see from other employers. If a company can fine an individual for their personal health decisions, it is only a short step to a company that can begin issuing financial penalties for weight, diet, or other health attributes.
(Bloomberg) – Delta Air Lines Inc. will impose a $200 monthly surcharge on employees who aren’t vaccinated against Covid-19, becoming the first major U.S. company to levy a penalty to encourage workers to get protected.
The new policy was outlined in a memo from Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian, who said 75% of the carrier’s workers already are vaccinated. Increasing cases of coronavirus linked to a “very aggressive” variant are driving the push for all employees to get the shots, he said in the note to employees Wednesday.
The fee applies to employees in the airline’s health-care plan who haven’t received shots by Nov. 1. The company also will require weekly testing for employees who aren’t vaccinated by mid-September. (read more)
Previously, Delta Airlines announced that any new hired employee would be required to be vaccinated in order to be eligible for employment.
A booster shot is required at 6 months. People shot in Jan/Feb are already overdue.
And then. . . . ?
Rinse/repeat…..
Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, is skeptical of boosters for the broader population so soon.
“The science on this is unavailable. And that’s not a place where we’ve been before,” Faust said, noting the risk of myocarditis has shown to happen more frequently after the second mRNA dose.
“What’s the third dose going to do?” Faust said. “Is a third dose going to hospitalize more people for myocarditis than we’re actually getting in return for the third dose of vaccine coverage? We literally don’t know.”
Thanks kleen
oF Course, and alot more, but they think but pumping people up, they can hide the devastating effects, but they at some point will be accumulative, and people just standing in line, SUDDENLY EXPLODE…BOOM, OR JUST FIZZLE PSSSSSSS, Like the doughboy stuck with a pin, then ALL GONE. So invest heavily in garbage bags, scoops, and tags, (you know like baggage tags, but the kind you put on one toe).
What is this Faust guy… anti-vax or sumthin?
It depresses your regular immune system down to between 35% and 40% of normal, so it will always need the booster to make up for it.
Truly diabolical.
A vaccine for the vaccine.
AThe first booster shot is required at 36months. There will be more “booster” shots once it becomes apparent that each one has declining effectiveness after a few weeks or months. People shot in Jan/Feb are already overdue, and have been since May.FIFY
Cocktail chatter in 2023: “Have you had your permanent IV drip of the vaccine installed yet?”
It seems tbat the fda did not approve the faux vax but only extended the EUA.
A definite ploy to make public believe the media.
I hope Americans research this.
Saw on TGP but word is getting out.
Didn’t take the time to scroll down through every comment here (I lead a busy life) but this article by Sundance made my blood boil a little bit. If Delta airlines fed me this line of crap for the privilege of making them money in return for services I would immediately begin hunting for a new job straight away and when I found one, I would give them zero notice and send them a double barreled middle finger from Mickey Mouse just to try and piss them off. Frickin wannabe totalitarians.
I would send them a different double “barreled”,and this would not be my finger.
While in-flight ?
I can’t wait for the quadruple vaxxers to be pissed at the triple vaxxers…
LOL!!
The LIBERAL LOONS will be killing each other over who has not gotten 18th vax. After all of this shit coming out about needing more JABS, the unvaxxed must be laughing their collective asses off. I know I am.
There are millions of innocent humans affected by this… probably not a good time to chuckle about it
“only a short step to a company that can begin issuing financial penalties for weight, diet, or other health attributes.”
Look for financial penalties for not worshipping sufficiently at the font of global warming (that is, for the little people).
I used to wonder how China enforced the one child policy. I wonder no more.
this ^^^
And then the ultimate: WHO did you VOTE FOR? Going to be a lot of Black people unemployed if they start with the weight issues.
If the company was basing its decision on current science, it would make more sense for them to test employees for covid antibodies and impose the surcharge on those who don’t have the antibodies, whether from natural infection or a vaccine. (Might also be a good way to find out if those vaccines are actually doing what they are supposed to be doing.)
Of course I’m not advocating testing or surcharging anyone. I’m just saying “follow the science.”
You know….this is like watching a slow motion train wreck. We see it coming down the track, yet we are unable to remove ourselves to safety.
Our society is collapsing upon itself, fold by fold, inch by inch.
I suspect the best I can do is leave a library of books that described what was once a bright shining light on the hill.
We know that all things digital will be rewritten, edited and purged of any “wrong think”. If it is not on the web, well then it did not happen.
Even this medium, which is a great outlet, will be purged; and unless specific information has not been saved off-line and printed in hard copy, it will also disappear.
I never thought i would live to see the day this happened. I’m not giving up hope. I’m not despairing, I’m just sad to see the direction and the devolution that is intentional.
As my friend said when he heard that New South Wales officials shot and killed all the rescue dogs to prevent them from be rescued by others; “Human beings are despicable and deserve to be eradicated from this earth.” He has a rescue dog.
I have been saving books for a long time. Everyone should.
Hey Eagle, I think the most appropriate response is somewhere between “hang in there” and “c’mon buddy, get your shit together!”
Think a moment about what it will take to right the ship. You know it and we all do. This mess doesn’t get solved easily, or (I pray I’m wrong) without bloodshed. Every freedom loving man and woman in this country already knows whether they will risk all to defend freedom, or support those defending freedom. There’s bs all over the internet, big mouths and blowhards. There are as many trolls. They aren’t the people who will matter.
The people who know that freedom means everything to them also know that the time for their greatest usefulness has not yet arrived. I suspect that the people who are prepared to go the last mile are keeping their heads low and their mouths shut so they will be afforded the opportunity to stand up when they are most needed.
If we are in the End Times, you know which side wins that.
If we are not in the End Times, hang in there, get your shit together, all of us, and prepare to do what we are called to do.
Clayton: We are going to win this war. Right now we are losing some battles, which happens in every war. People will only take so much before they colletively say enough is enough. We just all need to stick together and stay the course.
This whole vaccine thing will become a moot point sooner than you think. I looked at the CDC genome tracking for COVID variants. The Delta variant is BY FAR the most infectious one of all apparently with an RO of around 7, which places it way up there with the most infectious diseases, although thank goodness it seems to be no more deadly than the Alpha variant:
https://sph.umich.edu/pursuit/2020posts/how-scientists-quantify-outbreaks.html
The CDC has a chart over time for the prevalence of the different variants and Delta has literary eradicated all of the other variants in the USA. This means that after the Delta variant burns through the unvaccinated population, which is already happening as I write this, we should have pretty smooth sailing, at least for a while….
https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#variant-proportions
By the way this pretty much mirrors what happened during the 1918 pandemic. It ended in 1919. Variants are still with us today though. But, most all of us can’t die from it. We just get the “Flu”.
Big difference in 1918 and 2021. We have a media and big tech that is brainwashing Americans with propaganda. And a corrupt CDC and medical community. Even if people are not sick everyone will convince them that they are. Then they will run down and get another booster shot. Crazy world huh?
Flu? It seems it doesn’t exist anymore. COVID musta killed it. Of course they will still want everyone to take their annual flu jab.
No it doesn’, as the Spanish Flu killed off one of every ten healthy people.
So if they are the same … where are the dead? Where are the sick in the streets and the beds lining the outside of the hospitals? It is NOT anything near the same.
I was promised, PROMISED!, 2.2 Million dead by covid by August of 2020 and I’m still waiting.
As for the Bubonic Plague, the City of Constantinople had 10,000 deaths per day and it was just one city. That killed an estimated 1/3rd of all of Europeans in that plague.
Do YOU personally know someone who was “completely healthy” that dropped due to SARS CoV-2? I do not. I hear stories, but with the 90%+ false positive rates of the faulty and incorrect PCR test the numbers we have are not anything near accurate and the Yearly Death Totals have all been lower than the 2015 Yearly death Totals … so … Where Are The Dead!!!
It is not the same. It is nothing close to similar. And this is all a corrupt evil plot of tyranny that has refused to tell the truth and use factual numbers and real science that is never settled.
Check out how many people die from Cancer every year. That should scare you even more than this BS.
Some vaccines cause cancer
Then the booster takes over and starts another variant?
” This means that after the Delta variant burns through the unvaccinated population, which is already happening as I write this, we should have pretty smooth sailing, at least for a while”
Why only the un Jabbed?
The idea may be that the unjabbed can develop immunity while the variant is actually aided by the jabbed.
Because it will circulate for eternity among the vaxxed.
And by the way, love your source”{CDC}.And how do you know it mirrors what happened in 1918.
The vaccinated STILL GET IT. The immune don’t.
Boycott “WOKE” Delta airlines. Hit them where it hurts. Bastards!!
Don’t know what it costs now but in the mid 80’s the top 10 health claims where I worked were for HIV. And they could run a million dollars. I’m sure there are many other conditions where a premium could be charged for lifestyle or genetic risk.
could not do that for AIDS w/o a massive discrimination suit hitting you
I work for Delta and said exactly that to my Boss today. I referred to it as a legal life style choice be it smoking, drinking or abstaining from vaccination. I wager that health costs born by Delta for the first two far outweighed those currently associated with COVID and I do not see them charging the smokers and drinkers. Also, since more people die of the flu maybe they should consider punitively charging those that refuse an annual flu shot as well!
Now we don’t talk about pre-existing conditions, it’s conditions that may or may not happen.
Future-disease is now future-crime.
And the left must protect us from the future criminals (gun owners, the unvaxxed, racists/genderists). Perhaps send the future criminals to camps to learn how to concentrate.
I think if this ever ends, we might want not to fly for a bit…all the pilots and stewardess dropping dead from the vaxx…thanks but I like my pilot to be alive when I’m flying in their plane.
Let me see, 2014 Delta screwed up, when me and my friend were flying to central America, so they have been off my list since then. And this screw up solidifies that I will never fly Delta again.
Has America been converted to Islam by the Democrats? In Sharia law, a tax called JIZYA is levied on those who do not convert to Islam. Sure does sound like the madness now sweeping the Western nations and of course America over forcing people to get the CLOT SHOT.
didn’t you see?…we just paid $83B worth of equipment to them along with several PALLETS of cash
Well, the cult of COVID safety is itself a religion.
How about a vax mandate for ANTIFA and BLM ?? They are being paid by our government Covid relief funds to riot, recruit, intimidate, and create public chaos. They should be required to vax up before they head out in public to assemble in large groups to fight police and burn shit down.
They are federal employees so they should have the vax
Good bye, Delta Airlines. You made your bed, now lie in it.
This needs to be taken to court at once, and pursued as far as the Supreme Court. It is clear proof of what is going to happen progressively when the jab is mandatory. There will be fines for weight gain, lack of exercise, smoking and diets of which the executives disapprove. More ominously, there will be fines for disapproval of Burn Loot Murder, unapproved attitudes toward one-party politics and stolen elections, believing that men are men and women are women and that women give birth and men do not and eventually for failure to echo whatever 2 + 2 = 5 gibberish those in power may demand. The logical approach, which may be doable at a time of widespread labor shortages, is to quit the airline, or at least to have disabling sickouts for as long as possible. The unvaccinated will very soon be barred from air travel as they are being now in Canada, and eventually from any kind of travel at all, but they should avoid Delta now. We may eventually have to fight a revolution and a civil war to stop the globalists from pitting the vaccinated against the unvaccinated.
It’s the Chinese social credit system.
Seems that virtually everything our govt is doing is by Chinese design to destroy us.
I wonder if the Chinese knew we would react this way or they just got lucky. Either way, they’re grinning from ear to ear.

Did you not read where IIRC United had delays caused by VAXXED pilots coming down with COVID causing staffing shortages…they claimed it was “technical issues” instead
Yup- surprise- the clotshots caused even MORE clots when people went flying. Amazing that the airlines didn’t even think of this- just shows how risk management at the corporate level is moronic. To be fair all of the governments who responded with lockdowns clearly demonstrated this too. The companies and universities should have been doing the reverse- they should have had employees sign a waiver stating that if they didn’t want the shot, they could not sue the companies for any injuries or death caused by the virus. That would have been the safest step. But that wouldn’t have helped their evil leader- Biden/Obama.
I think the cabin oxygen pressure in an airliner is the same as being at 10,000 feet elevation on land. Less of a reserve if you get clots in the lungs
6000 feet.
I tried to post this link earlier, and somehow it didn’t go through. Please pardon if it is a duplicate.
The anonymous writer of this Substack piece (“el malo gato, bad cattitude”) lays out very clearly what is going to happen when 1 out 5 medical professionals are forced out by ignorant bureaucrats. “Mandating the medical choices of medical professionals”
“If you fire them for not taking the covid vaccine, you do not get to whine about ‘overwhelmed hospitals’. The carnage will be on you”
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/mandating-the-medical-choices-of
Good. I’m hoping for a complete collapse of the medical system as well as any retail/restaurant that pushes the vaxx.
After watching this weeks Afghanistan misadventures, I don’t think they really give a sh*t about the carnage.
The hospitals will continue to claim they are SO busy, when it is usually a problem of not enough staff (shortages due to the hospitals’ policies).
Triple jabbed versus doubled jabbed showdown on social media coming soon.
Watch out for popcorn shortages. Get yours now.

Glad I don’t fly Delta after their woke grandstanding about the mild GA election reforms.
They’re making this really easy for me.
This is all just table-setting for vaccine passports. They’ll start mandating the passports for passengers soon. Then they’ll have problems with enforcement. So the Feds will happily “step in” to “manage” the passport system through TSA like TSA Pre Check. It’s not that the passport is required…it’s that if you don’t have one they shove that PCR swab up your nasal cavity in the middle of the TSA line.
And that’s how the State will get vaccine passports without actually passing a law requiring them.
If that happens the wheels will have indeed fallen off the cart and the freedoms that Americans have will truly be lost. At this point I do not see Delta supporting going that route. But Mask extensions are definitely continuing into perpetuity.
Another no vax mandate job board. Just getting started. Join! https://novaxmandate.org/
Gab has also made a job board for ppl getting fired for nonvax
Pilots need to strike, also the jet mechanics. No pilots, no flights. It will bring this BS to a screeching halt.
This is going to court…
List of companies requiring vax, as of Aug. 3. Some are conditional based on travel, etc.
https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/here-are-companies-mandating-vaccines-all-or-some-employees-n1275808
Delta and all other companies requiring employees to be vaxxed will have a much bigger problem on their hands in 6, 12, 24 months.
Dead and/or severely incapacitated employees. Who will backfill them?
Watch health care premiums skyrocket soon.
And how do you “grow” your business if you are actively promoting the thinning of the herd? Fewer people means fewer customers.
Surely the elite lunatics who are pushing euthanasia are not going to make your company whole.
These CEOs are so short sighted.
They did not mention this ,
Delta Air Lines is raising health care costs for employees who insist on staying unvaccinated.
The airline said that as of November 1, unvaccinated staff will pay up to $200 a month more for their company health insurance, depending on the coverage. It will also limit the number of sick days unvaccinated employees are allowed to take if they contract Covid-19.
It will also require unvaccinated employees to take weekly Covid tests.
Delta (DAL) CEO Ed Bastian made the announcement in a company-wide memo, which the company shared with CNN.
“While we can be proud of our 75% vaccination rate, the aggressiveness of the variant means we need to get many more of our people vaccinated, and as close to 100% as possible,” said Bastian.
“The average hospital stay for Covid-19 has cost Delta $50,000 per person,” said the airline. “This surcharge will be necessary to address the financial risk the decision to not vaccinate is creating for our company.”
Since the rise of the Delta variant, whose name has nothing to do with the airline, all cases of Covid-19 among Delta employees have been among the unvaccinated, according to the company.
I thought hospitals received tens of thousands of dollars from the government for each covid hospitalization? If so, why would it also cost Delta 50K each?
And how do they defend only weekly testing for the “unvaccinated”, but not for the “vaccinated”? I thought both groups can catch and spread the virus, no?
Right on both counts, but this is from cnn and that does fit the narrative.
From the Bloomberg articvle: “With this week’s announcement that the FDA has granted full approval for the Pfizer vaccine, ( LIE! ) the time for you to get vaccinated is now,” Bastian said.
I wouldn’t believe a word this Liar says. For all I know the Delta Variant really was named after his airline.
The article article goes on to say:
“Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Facebook Inc. also have announced vaccine requirements.”
Now there’s a marriage made in heaven: Spike Protein and Woke Globalists.
Depravity comes to mind.
I seem to recall we had a “Supreme Court” that would protect from such trash. Guess I was hallucinating.
Is this response what you’d call the Delta Variant?
Mayo clinic showed that vaxxed are also being hospitalized at great expense and are spreading disease.
(via Stew Peters) Other studies have noted that Vaxxed are presenting for hospitalization in proportion to their numbers in their local populations.
Instead of punishing folks, potentially killing staffers who don’t weather the jab(s) and wrecking their corporate PR, these tyrants could cheaply provide ALL of their employees with effective prophylaxis that works for vaxxed and unvaxxed individuals.
It’s called “preventative care”, and existing law informs that preventative care is provided at no cost to the insured.
(like teeth cleaning and exams every 6 months)
No linky dinks. Look it up: Covid 19 prophylaxis. — But most of us rational people already know all of this.
Corporate America needs to pull its collective head out of wherever it has been, and lead the way to a functional solution.
CEOs / Boards could be heroes instead of less than zeros. It’s a simple thing that none of them will do.
To Delta and all the other corporate mandators: ┌∩┐(ಠ_ಠ)┌∩┐
Excerpt from Liberty Counsel article…
Today, Liberty Counsel has filed a lawsuit on behalf of more than 2,000 health care workers against Governor Janet Mills, health officials of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and five of Maine’s largest hospital systems MaineHealth, Genesis Healthcare of Maine, LLC, Genesis Healthcare, LLC, Northern Light Health Foundation, and MaineGeneral Health, regarding the state’s attempt to ignore federal law and remove religious exemptions and accommodations from unlawful COVID shot mandates for health care workers.

Years ago, my company decided they needed to adjust the pay of their dock workers DOWNWARD. Something about them being paid above the local market rate. And you know what they did? Slowed down every shipment, slowed down the unloads, etc. Pay them less and they work less. This is exactly what will happen at Delta.
Borg, liked this so much, I sent Delta a comment on their website, letting them know what’s in store for them. What a bunch of fools. Won’t be flying with them. Nothing like a bunch of disgruntled employees to make your flight experience miserable.
Time for strikes,, employers don’t have enough employees rite now…. what happens when non vaccinated employees won t work
With worker shortages, this will make it worse.
With unions, where are the terminations fitting in with termination rules in the contracts?
Discrimination rules, these are being violated worse than a cake baker could imagine.
I hope the public boycotts this “woke” establishment.
I’d certainly never fly with them again.
Typical left wingeranity.
For every problem they pretend to fix, they create 2 more.
So with some political racist fiasco, the All Star game was scooted away from AtRanta. Delta was uber concerned about racism/voting blah blahblah?
So Delta is on a campaign to hire minorities Lots of minorities. How do they hire minorities where hispanics and blacks have low vaxx subjugation patterns?
How they tell a black he will not get an offer and he tells them he will sue for race discrimination?
I am sure with all Afgany refugees coming in, there will be some pilots for them.
First MLB.. NOW THIS.. They dont learn do they? GOTTA MAKE UP FOR THE LOST MONEY FOR ALL THEIR BLUNDERS. AFTER THIS THEN WHAT.. Plus, its is illegal as hell, its called in case the forgot; DISCRIMINATION BASED ON HEALTH ISSUES, JUST WAIT TIL THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES GET A HOLD OF THIS, AND THE VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS. WANNA SEE A PILOT WALKOUT. Remember the airlines come under the Dept of Trans in emergencies, they are gonna be in big trouble. plus PFIZERS VACCINE APPROVAL WAS NOT FOR THE ONE THE ARE CURRENTLY GIVING. EVERYONE IS BEING LIED TO. The one that got approval hasnt even been made yet. SUCKERS.
So what do they charge a fully vaccinated person who contracts the virus?
I do not believe they they can force a vaccine on you, that has NOT been approved. The current status, was just an extension, NOT FDA Approval. If someone died as a result of this mandate, I believe they could be sued.
Sue for hostile work environment, like working for Fredo Cuomo.
Will insurance companies charge more? Will life insurance policies be voided? Where and when will this end?
It will not end until everyone stands up and says, Mickey Mouse to you.
Awesome. A plan.
Put We Are Borg in charge!
Of the US…
This all about perpetual control.
Maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camels back.
I can her Paul Revere in the streets saying the vaccine is coming the vaccine is coming…
Get your gun and ammo up….
What a clever way of putting it. Kudos.
Delta can do whatever it wants.
Simple solution if you are a Delta employee who disagrees with this policy is resign and get a job somewhere else.
Perhaps moving to Florida is part of avoiding this tyranny.
So where is the UNION on this? A national day of call outs for Delta employees is in order. Blame it on Covid and then stay out for 2 weeks. The President of Delta can then come in and clean the toilets on the planes. People have to start realizing that they have all the power.
The only employees at Delta that are unionized are the pilots. All other departments/work groups are non-union/at-will employees. I have to say, I am seriously considering either opening my own business or finding employment elsewhere that doesn’t have the vaccine as an employment requirement. On a side note, the company is not what it used to be. The company used to pride itself on being a neutral corporate entity under the leadership of Richard Anderson. Ever since Ed took over, there has been a large number of high level departures followed by a number of democrat operatives entering the organization. This includes Ashton Carter, former obama deputy defense secretary and numerous other obama staffers entering director level positions with no prior airline experience. After that, everything went segued towards a political tilt, de-emphasis on employee accountability and so on from there.
