As the impacts of the various vaccination mandates take shape, it is worth a review of the current status as it impacts you and your family on a local basis.
As noted by a reader in Washington state, the cleaving of society on vaccinated status is having an unusual impact on many regions even within individual states.
As one anecdotal report is told, the eastern side of Washington state is essentially functioning as before the vaccination mandate; while the western side is seeing a substantial breakdown in local civic society.
Mandates by local officials are creating issues for local services. Local police, fire and first responders are leaving their jobs, creating issues for those in the leftist side of Washington state. Meanwhile the eastern, or more conservative side of the state, is relatively not impacted.
In another cleaving anecdote one business owner in southern California has told a rebel alliance member to discontinue the use of services from a vendor who does not share the leftist political perspectives of the owner; while other right-minded business owners (in the same industry) are looking specifically to gain advantage by seeking out vendors who are skilled, stable and independent.
As would be expected, the vaccination cleaving is creating two unique classes of workers and owners/operators. Those with the best expertise, skillset and work ethic all fall into the group who are more independently minded and not prone to the inherent peer pressure created by the vaccine mandate.
While the data is all still raw in this new cleaved socioeconomic environment, it does appear -in the aggregate- the unvaxxed are better workers, better problem solvers and carry a stronger work ethic. The vaxxed workforce, owners and operators appear less than.
This brings up an interesting dynamic that is still unfolding amid various regions. So the questions posed are these:
What do you see in your town, hamlet, city, neighborhood and/or region?
How are the various vaccine mandates impacting your area?
Additionally, what opportunities or challenges do you see currently? Do you see any benefits to the cleaving as it appears to be underway? Do you have any advice for readers who might be stuck behind enemy lines?
Central Ohio: City of Columbus has a “mask order” in place but its so widely ignored as to make it comical. There will be 100K people in the Shoe tomorrow night without regard for vax or no vax or mask or no mask.
Kids are only required to wear masks on the bus to/from school. Otherwise, they are free.
Most of my friends are vaxxed. I just tell them I had it and therefore am immune per conversation with my Dr. I ordered IVM about three weeks ago from India just to have around in case. It is not due to be delivered for another few weeks. When I had the China Flue in March, I treated it as I always have: large doses of Vitamins B, C & D. Zinc. Tamiflu an Aspirin and I drink so much water as to have to pee nearly every 15 minutes. 48 hours later, felt like new.
ivermectin can be made at home with water, lemons and grapefruits. look it up onling. you don’t have to wait for weeks or months to get chinese shit.
I think you mean HCQ.
https://www.beyond-the-fringe.com/showthread.php?tid=6315
yea your right HCQ not ivermectin .. home remedy HCQ works.
I think you mean hydroxychloroquine, not Ivermectin.
I think you mean quercetin, flavinoids, vitamin C and helps to absorb zinc.
It makes Quinine like you get in good ole Tonic Water, not IVM or HCQ.
.
Flushing your system with water! What a novel idea . . .
It has always been the only thing that ever quenches my thirst, and it works wonders in that flushing regard — ‘almost’ as if God provided it to us as life’s nectar.
Water is not approved for Covid – CNN
Of course not. It is horse hydrator.
??????
And that is why I love my fellow Treepers…well played, Robert, well played
Is horse hydrator , beter or worst than horse pucks????
Look to the “old timers” for many answers. My parents ate a grapefruit every morning and there was always a bottle of water with lemons in our fridge. Dad came home after a hard days work (manual labor) and chugged the lemon water.
Good to hear about the masks not being mandated in schools, but surprising. Here in my very red school district in Northeast Ohio they started the year with optional masking. Then at the end of September they put out some data on “instructional hours lost” due to quarantining. The actual case numbers were low but apparently they are sending home healthy kids because they were in contact with a student who tested positive. They are contact tracing!
So they reintroduced the mask mandates because they were upset about all the instructional time being missed, completely ignoring that they were the ones who caused it. These students are exposed all over this community. We are not locked down and very few adults are wearing masks. It’s a little late for contact tracing, never mind that it doesn’t work anyway.
It’s not instructional time missed, it’s $$$ for butts in seats missed by administrators. Neither masks nor jabs have any discernible effect on rona numbers. But keeping kids out of public schools has a remarkably positive effect on the quality of education and diminishes $$$ to scumbags masquerading as educators.
Just checked the Ohio ‘rona dashboard. 657K got the booster. That’s about 10% the number of people who were fully vaxxed, according to the site at least.
The numbers decreased yesterday by over 10K from each of the three previous days.

Update to NC:
Many other school districts this wk removing mask mandate to the absolute hysteria of WRAL. Cary, outskirts of Raleigh, Durham, REMOVED its mask mandate and many other cities now doing so. Cary is a BIG deal, b/c it is a far-left town, very upper class and far from conservative.
A local wellness center attached to a health center/hospital closed for 18 mos and only reopened in late summer, though could have opened much, much earlier, as did private gyms. Opened and immediately REQUIRED FULL MASKING…..well, today, the SIGNS CAME DOWN……NO masks….
So, something is changing in NC FINALLY , though under Gov Coop’s state of emergency now and continuing until he dies or leaves office, whichever comes first or at the same time.
NC’s has 4% of 10.5 million infected and the rate is dropping daily and has been for quite some time, but Gov Coop WORRIED SICK we are ALL GOING TO DIE and VERY SOON…
I’m in rural NC and very few wearing a mask…period. No biz requires. Most if not all sheriff’s in these parts are conservative and stated day 1 not their charge or responsibility to enforce masks and did not although Gov mandated and called for it time after time…
I too am in rural NC where few took the masks to seriosly either way, but now there is fire in most people’s eyes when the vaccine comes up.
I recently found a Integrative Medicine doctor who does not require a mask, one county over. She told me there were serious discussions in the State with Cooper’s office and the medical licensing Board to pull the licenses of doctors who refuse the vaccine. She wears a mask but said she will close her practice down before being injected with the poison.
I spent 20+ years in Cary/RTP and go back frequently. Cooper has never been able to go full blown fascist on this and I suspect it is because of the large base of high-salary professional employees in BigPharma, BigTech and Banking/Finance. They happily played along with the mask conformity but are not about to go along with the experimental vaccines – even vaccines made by companies right here in NC.
We’ve also heard from a relative in western NC, that her doctor will be leaving the practice soon if the vax mandate is enforced.
Cooper was dominion installed. Both times.
Wow! Cary, NC, where they tried to disguise their cell towers and they ended up looking like giant toilet bowl brushes.
Here in AZ they have fake palm trees and fake saguaro cacti – easily spotted – what’s the point – all that plastic!
I live in a state between Kansas and Texas. No vax mandate at my work, YET. I expect it any day now as it involves some Fed dollars. Local schools dropped mask requirement, but still suggesting it for kids.
Vax available everywhere, just raise your hand and about 6 will rush you with needle in hand. Only about 40%+- have been jabbed.
Delta spike that started late August is falling fast, hospital beds still at 70%, but only 20% with Covid patients, versus 25% a few weeks ago. ICU beds still 82% occupied, but only 20% w covid versus 25% a few weeks back. No mandates from hospital systems that I know of, and no major walkouts that I know of either. A Fire Dept Lt refused to be tested when returning from an aid mission to LA, so he’s been fired. Don’t know details of that, other than overreach (why test if no symptoms in an otherwise healthe person?).
Upcoming family trip that’s been planned for months. Siblings (all jabbed) talked among themselves and said they feel OK with me (unvaxxed) riding with them. I told them it may be too dangerous for me, as they could all carry high viral loads without knowing it. Silence.
They don’t know how to think. These are smart, educated, socially engaged people. They don’t bother to think critically about Covid, the jab, the impact on the economy that a mandate will have, etc.
My bro-in-law is an MD. He and I had talked at length about it, but my sis got a breakthrough case of Covid and his daughter caught from Mom. He shut me down when I suggested that the aspirin they suggested for both was inadequate early treatment. Both survived (like the 98.3% in my state) but neice (no vax) may have a few lung problems for the next months/years. She is healthy, late 20’s, active but chose no jab due to wanting to have another child.
My brother talked to me about it. I sent him a dozen links to sites and articles from CDC, NIH, NEJM, etc. He didn’t read any of them. I quit trying, we are all decided and doesn’t seem to be any way to sway them.
I love them and I feel sorry for them. I know they love me and don’t want me to be sick or die. Just at an impasse.
Jacksonville, Florida here. Haven’t worn a mask inside of a business since spring. Once our wonderful governor made it (sort of) illegal to wear masks, the ‘required’ signs came off of the stores and restaurants. Unfortunately, the poor workers still have to do it. Have seen more people wearing masks in the grocery store since the recent uptick; it’s clear many were really scared about it.
Unfortunately, Duval County school system has required students to be masked in school against the governor’s order and the State has started legal proceedings against them. After school started, the School Board was overwhelmed with complaints by frantic Karen mothers to force students to wear masks; some even wanted the schools to be closed to in-person learning, so I can understand it somewhat. I have two teen boys and both their schools would call me every day to tell me how many Covid cases they had that day. After the uptick, we would get a call every day. Haven’t had one in three weeks, yet masks are still required.
At the grocery store, there is always something out of stock and usually something different every week. The last couple of weeks it’s been Gatorade and spices. Next week it’ll be a couple of other things; I’m surprised every time. But I only shop at Publix, so I can’t say what other stores are like.
Jacksonville has turned purple over the decade, and we do have some really ridiculous folks around here. Example: For at least 5 years now, we would often see the same man running and doing exercises on the sidewalk along a US highway on the way to school. We even gave him a nickname and we’d look for him every morning. For the last few months, he’s been exercising and wearing a mask at the same time! Outside. With no one even near him. Unbelievable. And there is the occasional person walking alone or riding their bike, not to mention inside their car. It makes you shake your head at the stupidity.
My company is a large cigar manufacturer and we sell to government installations. We have already purchased thousands of dollars in vaccine tracking software in anticipation of required vaccinations. A company policy is being written up now. We have over 200 union employees, most of which are minorities, and I can’t imagine that working out well. This used to be a very conservative company, but we’re becoming more and more woke. We hired a Diversity and Inclusion Director, at a very high salary and with the correct skin color, right after the George Floyd debacle. One of the reasons is because our market has changed. It used to be old white guys smoking cigars, now it’s young wokesters. We even sponsor “urban artists” like the disgusting Cardi B. The new consumer base is good for the company, but has really changed our direction.
I’m happy to be retiring at the end of the year, but feel for my co-workers who may have to make a very hard decision soon. Note that most of the people working here have been here for decades.
Thank you for your post. My concern, with respect to children having to wear masks, is how does this affect the growth of their lungs. Apparently, it takes a long time for the lungs to mature. It would be nice to hear from a pediatrician on this matter,
It’s also quite damaging to children’s mental well being. They dehumanization, separation and divisiveness is causing massive issues with substance abuse and suicide amongst teens. Depression among those younger.
Here in Oklahoma I don’t know that we have any vaccine mandates. I was talking with my brother last night and I told him the odd situation we are in is that the liberals are targeting themselves with mandates that they think will get to us. But in the end they’re only doing themselves in. Right now the New York fire department is exhibit a. Will they let buildings burn down to “own the cons” with vaccine mandates? Yes of course they will, ?
The vaccine mandates won’t achieve anything other than more strife, division and chaos, which I suppose is it’s intended purpose. The silver lining for us is watching liberal society to devolve over the coming months and years.
The power grid will be going down in areas where they won’t have enough employees to maintain it along with biden’s energy sabotage. From there it will go… shortages of everything, basic services not being able to run – not enough people to run them. It’s hard to imagine the chaos they are going to create.
Got to take my hat off to OK. We drive along the US 69/75 Corridor through Durrant-Macalsiter-Eufalla and then along I-40 to Ft Smith, when we visit the kids in Arkansas.
Since February 2020…NO Masks, NO DISTANCING and Great Folks everywhere we stopped.
Well, not so fast. Oklahoma State University just announced today that all employees (faculty, staff, part-time, full-time) have until Nov. 24th to get the last round of shots in order to meet the Dec. 8th deadline. On the Friday before homecoming. It’s almost like the spirit must be crushed as well. There are a whole lotta people to give the jab to before they gut the place. They seem really worried about their 90 million in federal funding, because science you know.
The jab has a higher calling “you will own nothing and be happy”. Unemployed will default on loans, banks (complicit) will foreclose the loan and black rock/vanguard will purchase the property. The nwo wants firemen, nurses, doctors et al to not take the jab, these people are the first to be placed into the gov. camps.
Not a bad group to be in the camps, since I will eventually join them.
Yes, they will let buildings burn. They aren’t pro-life, at any age, from unborn on up. China welded the apartment doors shut to keep people in. Australia building camps,
Yes, they will let buildings burn, people too.
Risa,
While it saddens me to read that your husband resigned, IMO, you should be quite pleased with his convictions. This plandemic has cost me tens of thousands of $$, but @ least I (and he) have our dignity and self-respect. To me, some things are NOT for sale, as there is no price tag attached!!
I have a feeling that there will be an emerging market, demanding people of your husband’s character. Please stay the course, and give him my thanks for standing tall?

I work for a large Liberal Southeastern Private University and Healthcare Provider that gleans most of its operational funds from Federal, State, International, and Corporate Grants and Contracts. I know this because I am in the division tasked with oversight and compliance of these Grants and Contracts.
Thus, these financially expedient alliances have pushed the University and Healthcare Executives to Mandate, not only the Experimental mRNA Gene Therapy, but also the annual Flu Guess shot.
Never mind the fact that most, if not All, of the Academic and Medical leadership and researchers are heavily invested in the Pharmas which are producing these therapies and which the Institution and Healthcare System are pushing so ardently. Obviously, both the individuals and the University / Healthcare System stand to gain Million$ from this Mandate effort.
Under the “Old Rules”, this would clearly be a Gross Conflict of Interest, but I guess as long as the “Big Guy” gets his 10% who cares any more.
There is an automated system that notifies us and our manager about our Mandate Compliance Status. I no longer work on, or even near, a campus of the Institution, but I still must take the jab or request an exemption. I noticed in the past couple of weeks the exemption process changed to now require “Documentation” for a Medical Exemption, a Medical Deferral, AND a Religious Exemption. See below.
They never gave a rats posterior about my faith before. Why the sudden interest and need for “Documentation” of my religious beliefs ?
They know that many have already taken the faith based exemption, and if they deny anyone on the basis of faith they CLEARLY will be afoul of the law and sued based on religious discrimination. Therefore, they are trying to implement higher and higher hurdles one must overcome, in order to qualify for one of the exemptions
Given the extremely high numbers of orthodox “Children of Israel” that work in both the University and Healthcare operations, this could paint them in a very bad light and cost them Million$ through what might grow into a Class Action.
Likewise they know NONE of the EUA or “Approved” therapies have been anywhere near the standard research protocols and even the Pharma Inserts attest to the fact, NO research has been carried out to determine the Carcinogenic aspects of ANY of the therapies.
I can tell you what puts the fear into them.
A State that will allow Wrongful Death / Injury Cases against a Company or Institution based on an individual being forced / coerced into taking the jabs in order to maintain employment. The prospect of just ONE State codifying and allowing these civil torts makes them ALL (Corporate and Institutional) VERY WORRIED.
When just one State successfully institutes this and allows cases to proceed then the whole house of cards will begin to tumble and tumble Quickly.
I refuse to attest to my medical status, or attest to any exemption information. It is none of their business!
So, terminate me and lets do the Court Thing for wrongful termination and possibly Religious Discrimination.

_ Medical Exemption
To be considered for a medical exemption, you must complete the “Medical Exemption” form, which includes documentation from a licensed healthcare provider supporting your request. This should include medical records with the reaction or other medical reason for the exemption. Please submit your documentation with this completed form.
Requests will not be considered without documentation.
Please upload your documentation:
_ Deferral for Medical Reasons
To be considered for a deferral request, you must fill out the “Deferral” form, which will need to include supporting documentation from a licensed healthcare provider supporting your request. This should include medical records with the reaction or other medical reason for the deferral and the anticipated duration of the need for deferral. Please submit your documentation with this completed form.
Requests will not be considered without documentation.
Please upload your documentation:
_ Religious Exemption
To be considered for a religious exemption, you must fill out the “Religious Exemption” form, which includes documentation from your church or religious organization describing the religious belief, observance, or practice that conflicts with the COVID-19 vaccine requirement.
Requests will not be considered without documentation.
Please upload your documentation:
How dare they question anyone’s religious beliefs! And since when did we require an institution’s approval of our faith! Good lord!
Thank you for sharing so much detail.
Can’t you get a note from God???:-))))
The same with Red Wing Shies. It’s so offensive I don’t want to fill it ou.
.
It occurs to me that granting a religious exemption to anyone while refusing it to others, who have other reasons for not wanting the vaxx, is itself a form of religious discrimination.
https://www.eeoc.gov/statutes/title-vii-civil-rights-act-1964
The only thing needed for a religious exemtion is a letter stated your sincerely held religious conviction. If your employer asks for more, you dont have to answer. This is illegal.
My company requested additional religious information and I said I would not provide. A couple of days later my company granted my religious exemption request.
This must be largest health care system located on Clifton Rd, Atlanta. Staff turnover is so high, they have to use TRAVELER to fill different level of vacancies which effects greatly in quality of care. They pay high dollars for TRAVELERS and these temp workers can not last more then 2 months. Talk about quality of care, CODE MET, CODE BLUE all day long. Patients have to wait on the phone for more then 2-5 minutes to order their food, some of patients get tired of waiting , just hang up the phone, skip the meals. They change exemption policy every few days. I got the feeling they would never approve any exemption, No doctor in this organization will agree to write you an exemption letter. Stay healthy, stay away from hospital unless you have to.
All of that is illegal according to Title7 per Peggy Hall with ThehealthyAmerican.org . Please check out her many videos on the subject. She is helping many navigate the legal aspects of the issue. Just a suggestion…
As an American, I am exempt from being required to file for an exemption.

Goes to explanation on INVOKING religious exemption, per title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We don’t request, we invoke our rights.
Hope this helps.
Coming to you from the Wiregrass of Alabama (Dothan/Enterprise/Ozark/Fort Rucker).
This area is largely free from mask use and other social distancing protocols. The exception are medical and dental treatment areas, and Fort Rucker on the whole. I work on Fort Rucker and in spite of the fact that COVID cases have sharply declined in the past weeks and can attest Covid craziness is still in full swing. I had the opportunity to ask a senior leader on the Post why isn’t the HPCON level been reduced which would relax mask/SD rules as the regulation dictates it should. He surmised mask mandates remain in place due to the coming Nov 22 deadline for federal employees to be vaccinated. In other words, coercion.
SD,
While my vocation is not limited to geography, I am pleased to report that ALL of my compatriots are “insurgents”!! We riggers perform quite risky and dangerous installations, hence an almost “combat-like” esprit de corps exists within our “pack” of WOLVERINES..
While the gig I lost to the “no jab, no job” was in Florida, it unfortunately fell under the umbrella of nbc/universal (corporate). No fault of my most Excellent Governor..
I just got back from Vegas (EDC show), and there is some “faCOCKta” kind of “mandate” in Nevada. Fortunately it was outdoors (you know, where ALL OF THAT UV LIGHT KILLS said virus) so we were able to speak freely, and UN-MUZZLED.. None of the guys I work with are playing that nonsense. Besides being analytical, we enjoy being “on the outside”. It’s a big part of why we do what we do..
My homeys and I are well over this whole charade, and getting more vociferous about it by the day.
There is one municipal venue in my history who I suspect will try to impose their will upon me, and I am kind of looking forward to testing Mr. DeSantis’ $5000.00 penalty policy. I mean why “just burn the bridge” if you can NUKE it instead?
I’ll keep you and all of my Beloved Treepers posted!

Concho Arizona here. It’s located in Apache County (NE Arizona). No mandates per se. I see very few in masks. Vaccination status is that between 7 – 8 hundred have been vaxxed out of a population around 3K. Since we have a population density of less than 5 per square mile in our zip code most people just continue with life as usual.
Arizona here too. Are the Navajos getting vaxxed? I have a Navajo Niece in law in Flag and she is not but wondering up your way?
My husband and I are not but hard to tell about others. Most people are don’t ask don’t tell . Our closest friends are sadly despite our best efforts but most anti boosters.
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures exist. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://health.p0l.org
They look forward to that tsunami – more money for their bottom line.
whale dot to has a lot of information about natural healing and many things that reduce inflammation; ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, garlic. I’m on Metformin for diabetes, which also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Small town here, we have a small hospital that has clinics in two other counties. Neither of those counties has a hospital. In August, the announced a vax mandate with no deadline. About 50% had the jab by then. In September, they set deadline for Nov. 22nd. By October, only about 12% remained vax free. The administration’s panic was palpable as they continued to ask the holdouts what they were going to. In early Oct. Department heads quietly began telling the holdouts to file a religious exemption. The deadline to seek religious exemption was October 8th. Most of the holdouts filed for exemption, a few were granted immediately. The rest were asked for additional information. They had to get the first jab by today or settle for the J&J. Yesterday they granted all the exemption that had been requested. If more people had held our, they too could have remained vax free. Other than that, pretty calm around here no other mandates in the county. People who wanted the jab have it, and any one who wants to wear a face diaper wears one. The hospital does require a mask inside, but it has to be one they give you.
I have to tell you in the Daytona Beach, FL area it feels like this is an “other world” problem. Everything is still going on as it was, the only hint of the virus anymore is the person here and there wearing a mask or going to the store where “front line” workers are masked. Employment is strong, housing still going, etc.
We are seeing disruptions to the supply chain as I’m sure others are – a couple weekends ago, there were no eggs at Walmart, milk is in short supply at times, depending on the day. Gatorade seems oddly short supplied in Florida of all places.
We have the best Governor IMO and I am so grateful to be living in the land of the free (Florida that is, Bidamerika is not what it once was).
In MY state (PA) the Dems are using COVID as an excuse to instruct hospital workers to harvest ballots from patients. I know this because my daughter works in one of the major metropolitan area hospitals.
It’s probably not legal, but I’m pretty sure nobody will do anything about it.
? 100% illegal!
Wanted to point out data points from Texas Data regarding kids/persons between the ages of 0-19 years of age. I have pulled data on traffic fatalities for persons between 0-19 and COVID deaths for the same age groups. Please note, TxDOT traffic fatality data for 2021 is not yet published nor will it be until March of 2022, so the traffic fatality data below is for 12 months only. It is safe to estimate that 2021 deaths will be close to the 528 experienced in 2020. You can see, 528 persons between the ages of 0-19 died as a result of traffic crashes in 2020, so it is likely that at least 1000 died between 1/1/2020 and today. The COVID death data below is for the period of 1/1/2020 through 10/28/2021. Texas’ first death due to COVID occurred on March 15,2020 (COVID deaths are reported and recorded by date of death while traffic deaths are categorized by crash date).
As you can see, riding in cars is much more likely to result in death to persons between 0-19 than dying from COVID. We are about to see a big push to give these kids an experimental shot which has not been tested by any logical definition for something that is less dangerous than riding in a car. Fortunately, I am hearing the pushback on the kid vaccine will be overwhelming. This isn’t about science or health.

I live in the hills of Tennessee. With the exception of Nashville and the surrounding snobby ‘burbs, we mostly ignore all the mandates and live free.
Status here: the gun range is busy every day of the week. No masks in sight, except at the doctor’s office. Where I live, it’s as if there’s no plandemic and no government interference – a few “I Miss Trump” signs, a lot of “Let’s go Brandon” and #FJB. It remains to be seen if our Governor is going to stand up for the rights of a free people. He talks a good talk, but many don’t feel he walks it. Every once in awhile I run into someone who is afraid of the “virus”, but most folks deal with it like they would any virus.
If I turn off the media, I would never know the world has gone mad.
Oh and hilariously, everybody gets their Ivermectin at Tractor Supply.
Our TSC no longer carries the 1% injectable solution. Or…they have it in “the back” and make you ask for it. Haven’t tried. Glad we got our supply when we did.
The numbers don’t even make sense anymore…..
NE TN here: Fewer people wear masks everyday, in general. The blue pimple areas (Jonesborough, Johnson City, parts of Knoxville, etc.) have more people that still wear masks but this is mainly due to the universities and colleges. There is a large medical presence in NE TN but a LOT of the folks in the medical profession are just plain fed up. More than a few have told me personally they will not get a jab and will quit or force their employer to fire them.
Many people just do not wear masks at all. Still see a few wearing masks walking or driving a car (BY THEMSELVES), but (and I know a few) they are in education or gov’t. No stores I’ve been in make you put on a mask, although some require employees to wear a mask. This part of the country is not like the draconian blue states or cities. A lot of businesses have “mask required for entrance” signs up but no one does, and most employees don’t enforce or car.
I would hate to have to have anything done in the hospital, which are still requiring masks.
All in all, not nearly as bad here as what I’ve been reading about in other parts of the country.
Central Va. Democratic controlled Richmond City schools will be sending unvaccinated employees home. On election night. Focus on Chesterfield county. If it goes red it will be a good night. House of delegate seats 66, 63, 27, and 68 are must watch.
I am in Chesterfield,Va also.
Mask mandates at schools and the majority of people at grocery stores that serve the suburbs are masked. It is insane. That people are so easily fooled and will comply with hardly a whimper. Just the opposite, they are antagonistic toward those of us who know masks are useless.
Flova agree the masks came back with delta fears. I Work in the schools the kids have masks on chins so it is mask theater for the kids. If Macauliffe wins it looks like we go full mandate.
Mississippi State University now mandates the Beast Vaxxx. The Institutes of Higher Learning (IHL), under the suspected pressure of one of Beijing Biden’s shills directly descended from Doctor “Mengele” Faustus, reversed their former vote against the Beast vaxxx. It was introduced on Sunday night, brought up by some Fauchi shill on the IHL board–and rammed through in spite of some board members complaining about not enough time to read it. Incidentally, the IHL also re-upped MSU President Mark Keenum’s job–which is suspect.
The IHL–which once declined to have vaxxxine mandates–reversed its decision this week. MSU capitulated because it has a $127 million contract with the Feds. On the other hand, the Mississippi University for Women opted not to enforce the Vaxxx mandate–because it has no contracts with the Pentagon, unlike MSU!
Dr. Thomas Dobbs advises our governor, Tate Reeves, on the Scamdemic. He is a Faustus disciple. So far, Governor Reeves has NOT lived up to his promise of “not if I have any say” on the matter of mandates. Attorney Lynn Fitch has filed suit against the mandate with 20 other Attorneys General (applause) on October 27. And, the Mississippi State Legislature reconvenes in January. There’s a bill that failed last session–HB719–that I expect to be raised in the new session. It bans firing employees based on vaccine status.
Over one thousand employees protested at the Ingalls shipyard. The medical staffs of various hospitals in our capitol city, Jackson, marched against the mandates previously imposed on them. Smaller protests have been in various towns against employers mandating the gene therapy experiment in Tupelo, Columbus and Starkville, Mississippi. The battle has been joined.
Sacramento: Self employed with 6 trips across the country and teenagers back in school. Mask when required, removed when not.
No Covid infection, must have missed the wave OR had it a year before it started.
Cousin from Alabama will be fired next week from tech position at a university in Montgomery due to vaccine requirement. Has no job replacement (as of yet), cannot afford attorney but has firm conviction this is “hill to die on”. Will not comply.

In the DC suburbs of Maryland, fully vaccinated individuals over the age of 2 are expected to mask up in all indoor public spaces/businesses. I usually mask up, but occasionally forget and have my mask dangling on my wrist. I see a few folks not wearing masks and many employees with masks over their mouths but below their noses. No one says anything to the “unclean”, as far as I can tell. Certainly, no one has said anything to me.
I recently went to visit family in San Diego. After hearing all about the dreaded Newsom, I assumed things would be more stringent there. In fact, no one was wearing a mask, and they were not required in stores. The clerk at one hotel asked if we had our vaccine records. Nope. She noted our reservations had been made so long ago that it was not then required. “Well, you can always claim religious exemption,” she told us as she handed us the key.
At the airport in DC, of course, we had the ridiculous 6 ft distancing signs everywhere and seats in the gate blocked off for social distancing. Then we all crammed in the airplane shoulder to shoulder.
I tutor one teen who is extremely anxious about leaving his house. He is fully vaccinated. He’s fine coming to my home for lessons, but once I had to drive him somewhere, and he masked up before getting in the car. Go figure.
I’m a community health worker in Victoria bc. The health authority has mandated vaccines for all workers. Every single one. I just did an EKG and I’m trying to squeak by with a medical exemption but it’s unlikely. I have to decide if I want to destroy my life or take the mystery serum. Not a choice I want to make
Just say no! Why be part of this EVIL.
Just say no to drugs. The $ won’t do you any good if you’re dead.
Maybe this is a chance to remake your life and be as fulfilled or more fulfilled?
Just south of Sacramento CA:
Have not been jabbed and will not. Many I know have not as well, and know some who have. The 5-11 year olds may be the trigger we need to get people to come together and stand, my hope anyways.
I do not know what the status here is, it seems to be arbitrary. One place may ask for masks, the next place, no. I have yet to see any passports asked for, but haven’t been to any huge concerts or sporting events.
Did go to a wedding last week at a high end vineyard in Sonoma last weekend. Although I assume many were vaxxed, there was no questioning or masks worn by the 100 or so attending. The staff serving did wear masks.
I am self employed so I won’t be mandated. My girlfriend, a nurse down in Santa Cruz area, was mandated and she relinquished and got the shot. Even after all the info I gave her and long discussions together. She has a daughter and is single with a lot of $ going out, she did not know what else she could do. Horrible, going from “hero” to do this or else. She was denied religious and medical exemptions, even with a pre-existing auto-immune disorder.
I know you all believe this place (CA) is hell on earth, but the places I go, you are not set upon, yet, and life is fairly normal. You do see people wearing masks for no apparent reason, I believe some actually just like to wear them, for others a safety blanket.
I do receive calls from some state health agency weekly, I ignore. It will take a large mass of people standing together to stop this, Left and Right, black, white, red, yellow. Texans, Floridians and Californians. All of us. Let’s make it so.
I quit my job awhile back due to covid mandates. I work in healthcare.
In the intervening months, nobody was hiring unvaxed workers. Finally, if I want to keep eating and keep the lights on, I got the injection. The J&J one is safest for me. Not for women on birth control or other hormone-altering therapy.
I know of no fewer than six major facilities who are badly in need of people in my field. They have all had job postings up for at least a month, some for several months. NONE of them will hire me (or anybody).
So there is no labor shortage. It looks to me like healthcare is being propped up by the government for now. It looks to me like our economy has failed, but the average citizen doesn’t see it yet. But the situation started as coercion to force those injections, but now it’s obviously something else. It isn’t just me being blackballed; as I said, these facilities aren’t hiring anybody in my field, despite having these job postings up for months.
Found in the bin… 🙁
My husband’s company has had people talk to him. He was engaged and reasonable, they couldn’t really argue with his logic. He had COVID in May and his doctor told him he should not get the vaccine, he’s at higher risk for side effects because of other conditions anyway. He’s an engineer, they have such a shortage of engineers I can’t imagine they’d actually fire him. If push comes to shove he’ll ask for a religious exemption. If they still won’t give him one he won’t back down, they’ll have to fire him and then we’ll look for another job. As far as I know it is illegal to ask about private health information when interviewing job applicants. Of course they’ll still ask and if people stand up for their rights they’ll be weeded out. But as with most things, all you need is a few brave people to stand up and more of the hesitant types will follow.
An interesting anecdote, my friend’s husband who is a neurosurgeon was given a religious exemption almost immediately. He’s top of his field. The nurses I know who have applied for their exemptions are still waiting and have basically been told to look for new jobs. They can’t fire them just because they’ve slow walked the exemption process, so they are basically just trying to manipulate people into quitting. All of this while one of the local hospitals has been in the news saying their ICU is overwhelmed because they don’t have enough staff.
“…they’ve slow walked the exemption process, so they are basically just trying to manipulate people into quitting.”
What disgusting pieces of human debris would act this way?
This is the kind of nurse I want providing me and my family with healthcare. Enough said.
Nurses are hot.
They have a no bs worldview.
They see the worst of humanity.
My wife is a CVT, an animal nurse, and I see the same attitude in her, that that this woman has.
People who deal with the agony of life and death every day, on the job, are some of the most intelligent, compassionate, grounded and pragmatic people on this planet.
This nurse knows what’s up.

Goes to explanation on INVOKING religious exemption, per title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We don’t request, we invoke our rights.
Hope this helps.
Fed contractor here. Filed religious accommodation request this week. On three grounds:
As to #three above, I provided copies of worldwide vaccine passport requirements, including San Fran, Oregon, NYC. Last sentence in my request:
“Those who refuse the mark of the covid vaccine are being persecuted and excluded from society around the world. They’re being FIRED FROM THEIR JOBS, not allowed in restaurants, bars, ball parks, museums, nail salons, businesses, and in some places, grocery stores. The fact that I must request religious accommodation or be fired for refusing the mark of the Covid vaccine proves the vaccine is part of the beast.”
Well, that pretty much sums it up.
Many aren’t able to artfully articulate a religious opposition statement, or if able, concentrate on #1 while ignoring #2 and 3.
12,000 Air Force Personnel, Including Elite Pilots, Have Rejected Vax Order As Tuesday Deadline Looms – 29 Oct 2021
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/12000-air-force-personnel-including-elite-pilots-have-rejected-vax-order-tuesday-deadline
The deadline is looming for US Air Force personnel to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and many thousands are still refusing, according to the latest reports. For many at this point, it’s also too late to receive both jabs by the next Tuesday, Nov. 2 deadline. Other branches like the Navy have deadlines coming later in November, but the Air Force will be the first test case as it set the earliest deadline.
The Washington Post is now at the end of the week reporting that up to 12,000 Air Force personnel are still declining the vaccine, causing alarm within the top chain of command who are worried it will impact force readiness, particularly as some forces in key positions face discharge over their vax refusal. “The fact that it’s a choice leading to potential loss to readiness is striking,” a military policy analyst with the Center for a New American Security Katherine L. Kuzminski, told the Post.
As a retired Navy man I have always indulged in the usual banter with fellow veterans from the other services, denigrating their particular branch, etc., and the AF has always been a favorite target. But this? I salute the courage and moral conviction of my AF brethren. May God bless and keep them.
Stuck behind enemy lines in central NH. My large international conglomerate employer has decided to go with the vaccine mandate to not risk loss of government contracts, this despite no OSHA rules specific to companies with over 100 employees. They are cowards and have had a story on them done by the gateway pundit which was not flattering in the least, though it was accurate. I have had two vaccines, got them early and had no adverse reactions. This was prior to a lot of information surfacing about what the shots do to immune systems.
I am not in any danger of being let go, but I spoke with my supervisor today and expressed my intense dislike for the coercion. He was understanding, though he is in Germany and they have different laws.
I have absolutely no qualms with any person who does not want to take the vaccine for any reason, they pose no more danger to me than anybody else. Several posters in this forum have mentioned that vaxed people are intolerant of non-vaxed, which may be true somewhere, but you will hear nothing of the kind from me. My approach now would be to treat any case I get with monoclonal antibodies and some sort of Ivermectin protocol which has been proven more effective than the mRNA junk that is giving Pfizer such a massive boost to its profits.
Probably the next step on what Sundance has correctly pointed out is the “ronacoaster” will be that boosters will be required for employment. So I will keep my options open and begin the search for a less coercive, less cowardly employer. What a long, strange trip.
We are in Virginia. My husband works at a company with more than 100 employees. For awhile he was periodically receiving emails from HR, instructing him to please forward his record of vaccination as soon as he get the shots. Those emails have now stopped.
My husband is not getting vaccinated, regardless. So I don’t know what’s going to happen next. Much may depend on the outcome of the governor’s race here in Virginia on Tuesday. If the Dem wins, it will be mandates all around. If the Republican wins, he has said he will fight the mandates.
We are strangely calm about the whole situation. Now that the data make clear that the benefits DO NOT outweigh the risks, for anyone in any age group, we feel very comfortable with our decision not to get vaccinated, and to let the chips fall where they may.
My husband can get another job. He can’t get another body.
Today is a much better day. the Missouri AG filed a lawsuit against federal government. A judge put a hold on mandatory vacs for military and federal contractors. And my company granted me a religious exemption.
So, I’m blessed and my prayers have been answered. Not going to be fired.
This is my last post under this name. I need a new one now!
Great news, Will B. Working!
How about “Been Saved”?
I know the feeling. Got to go through that a month ago. Now feeling a little better but who knows what mandate they will think of next. Hunkering down and trying to get an exit strategy open if things shift again.
The Red Cross just told me that volunteers nationwide have to be vaccinated in order to volunteer in any type of in-person capacity. Until now, you could still see clients, but you had to be masked. I just resigned from my volunteer duties as a result.
For those stuck behind enemy lines:
***Smart businesses/managers still want your business. Connecting with them will increase understanding between you. Most of them feel the SAME WAY!
#8 – If at all possible , move to a free state and leave the slave state. Maybe learn a new skill – Truck driving is fairly lucrative – Florida (Ron DeSantis) is offering $115,000 starting pay plus a sign up bonus for truck drivers.

I’m hearing you!

sometimes, you must fight fire with fire.
Small town in SE KS. We pretty much ignore any mandates (masks or vaccination). 46% vaccinated. 54% not. 30 total CoVid deaths in our county in 20 months mostly in the elderly with risk factors. We all know the “CoVid deaths” are dramatically over counted. One politically motivated (Dem) doc in town who refuses to treat patients with ivermectin has 10X the hospital admissions as the other doc’s clinic that does use it. The FDA allowing EUA for these gene therapies age 5-11 when there is NO SUCH EMERGENCY in that age group is pissing people off. I am surprised I haven’t been kicked off of FAKEBOOK because as a retired local physician I have been LOUD against these “vaccines” from the get go. I’m trying to educate friends/family on the risks vs benefits of all treatments/therapies. I fully support ivermectin and have been delivering vitamins and free ivermectin to anyone that tests positive that reaches out to me. No deaths or hospitalizations in anyone I’ve treated. This is all a bunch of manufactured bull shit. I’m having none of it!
My suggestion is to stop sharing this information online for the Covid perpetrators to read and then adjust tactics. Yes, they prowl around seeking info for their next power grab. Keep them in the dark.
Live in the land of the free!! FLORIDA!!
In Indiana, the governor continues to hide from the public. He won’t do a mandate, but he’s openly recommending everyone get vaccinated. State employees that are vaccinated but get covid can work from home. State employees that are unvaccinated and get covid have to use sick time even if they are asymptomatic – which will lead them all to not report they are sick and come to work anyway and give away free samples.
That rule is discriminatory as it creates two classes of state employees.
Suburban Philly here, adjacent to Delaware.
Just drove my sister and my niece to Philly International Airport. Masks required but Social Distancing Nada.
Being retired and without need to interact with many people my info may be biased. All food workers in restaurants, convenience stores masked, masks are encouraged but mostly ignored. Distressingly a lot of young people masked up. The worse are obvious grandparents, unmasked, leading masked toddlers around.
Only place where masks are required for customers are medical offices and government installations.
Social distancing is the only positive out of this scamdemic. I little polite space is nice. No surprise it’s the first mitigation rude progzis jettison.
King Co, WA, is hosed. High vax rates. High fear. Masks and mask-Nazis almost everywhere. Spouse is one of only two in an office of well over a hundred who isn’t vaxxed, and the other has a serious allergic reaction to things in it. Local school board is rumored to be talking about how they can mandate students all get it. I’ve had people literally pull back with fear in their eyes when I say I’m unvaxxed, and I can tell they really don’t want to know the truth. There are bright spots here and there, usually in stores that cater to a more mixed and lower income clientele (who are more likely unvaxxed), such as Fred Meyers, where the employees are all masked but if you are no nobody says anything or takes official notice. They are fact-free and happy wallowing in their fear that way.
The Exxon Valdese of Branch Covidian Fear-Porn KoolAid has run aground here, and they are lapping it up like an Irishman who found a leaking whiskey barrel.
I launched an effort to stop in the formative phase a C19 vax mandate for school staff.
Why? The effort as good odds of enlisting support from the state education association and thereby Dems. Parents of students should also support the effort because such a mandate will almost certainly diminish teaching, food service and other services schools provide students.
Happening in Arizona hospitals including “Dignity” Hospital in Prescott, and too many other hospitals to list.

How this compared to Florida’s “for the people” Governor DeSantis . . . . . . .
There’s currently an AZ letter writing campaign to beg Governor Ducey & gov’t officials to STOP vaccine & misc mandates.
Ducey and the state Attorney General are dragging their feet on working against the mandate
And election fraud which is Why we are here in the first place. . . .
St Augustine Fl here. Our primary grocery shopping is at Publix, and all prices are up. We don’t have extreme shortages here, but the gatorade area, spices, and cooking oil areas are sparse. Cat food has been decimated for months, so we like others stock up when we see it. Dog food seems fine??? They are moving items to the front to make it look fuller. We have started developing contacts for local eggs, bread, and veggies. We plan on soon purchasing and raising quail for eggs and have put in a garden.
Gas seems to be $3.29 everywhere.
There are very few masks and many are being worn improperly. We have not worn masks except Drs appointments since May 2020. The dentist and optometrist do not require them. Our primary care are with Baptist and I believe they require them. My physician has not asked me about vaccines and I doubt she will since I was rather blunt about masks. And she admitted masks don’t work , but it was about empathy. You can imagine my response to that. I believe my chart has now been flagged. LOL.
The festivals have restarted here. People are having fun. And sometimes we are able to forget for a few minutes that our whole country is going to crap. God Bless Governor DeSantis!
Sorry I left off vaccines. Northrop Grumman is going to require vaccines, but I am not certain of the date. I know there are many employees upset about this and I am not sure how any of the actions by DeSantis will affect this. There is very little real industry here. Our daughter until recently worked as a physician in both the UF and Baptist hospital system and was required to be vaccinated. She fought it, but would have been terminated and is the sole provider. The rest of her family is not vaccinated and she is very against them. She is now in another system in another state that requires them. In general, I have found most people here avoid the topic. It is private. We are retired, so it has had little affect on us.
Florida
Well, My mega corp employer still has me on the naughty list. I may have to walk away February 1 if not jabbed but hope for something from the Governor and State to stop the madness. As far as life here, the scamdemic seems to be at an end. Nursing homes and hospitals are an exception as they should be. Listened to Hannity on the radio and he had the good Dr on this afternoon. Ol Sean seemed shocked, as if it was the first time he had heard the jab was not a good idea for everyone.
Had to quite facebook. Twain was correct. “Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
Enemy lines? Every inch of America is subject to constitutional law. The enemy has penetrated the perimeter at the moment. The QRF is the American citizen. They have yet to start shooting. I think of my state as a corner of Constitutional America that provides a target rich environment.
FDA paves way for Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations in young kids
https://www.cleveland.com/news/2021/10/fda-paves-way-for-pfizer-covid-19-vaccinations-in-young-kids.html
“A few countries have begun using other COVID-19 vaccines in children under 12, including China, which just began vaccinations for 3-year-olds. But many that use the vaccine made by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech are watching the U.S. decision, and European regulators just began considering the companies’ kid-size doses.”
Lower Michigan surrounding Detroit: the closer to Ohio we get, the fewer masks we see. Whew. People of color lost many family members and friends early in the pandemic. As a result, they are more likely to wear masks, even when not required. Their choice.
Here in Northeast PA, many are still wearing masks but it’s not mandatory. I was recently told by my manager at work, however, that it’s only a matter of time before we have to get vaccinated at work – just waiting on OSHA’s orders. We have 99 to 102 employees (the number varies). I’m hoping something will change before that time comes – otherwise, I have to seriously consider quitting. I’m NOT getting jabbed. Period.
Dr. Z. knows whereof he speaks.
