What caught your attention in the world today?
Effectively, it's a tax cut for the wealthiest, ergo, regressive and a slap in the face to the middle classes who don't receive the same benefit from their taxes. It perpetuates the income inequality that is eroding the definition of middle class. Our Levittowns and grass yards may have monopolized American architecture but we were huge in numbers because the tax burden on the working and middle classes were spread out. The wealthiest paid much more than they do now. That was with Republican presidents who enjoyed their shining crowns as people who wanted prosperity for all..not just for their cronies. What we have now is winner take all and screw the rest of us. Eisenhower's middle of the road policies created the world's wealthiest and most employed country despite that we just came out of WWII.

Which Religions Exempt Covid Vaccinations?
Your own source lists religions opposed to vaccines as doctrine. In addition Vacicnes.org ad poliifact also denote religions opposed . Pockets of ultra orthodox Jews in Israel as well as in Booklyn follow the authority of their rebbes who have not supported vaccines for their members. I have a friend's husband who left his Hasidic roots to remain merely Orthodox. He has health issues relevant to Covid. His Mom refuses to get vaxxed because she she"doesn't like authority" But, of course she is the ultimate poster child for obedience to authority since she does what her rebbe dictates.

Which Religions Exempt Covid Vaccinations?
Nope. Google it. Only two religions have doctrine that forbid vaccine: Church of Christ, Scientist and Dutch Reform. But only the most evangelical DF's refuse. THE ultra-orthodox Jews also refuse. So it seems to be he fringe groups that persisting refusing. Most mainstream people who identify as evangelical answer polls that they are opposed to the vaccine but some evangelical pastors encourage their members to get it.

Forget the unit. I doubt that she will be able to work n any institution in that group. It's just a harsh reality.

I'm Out... (Cue Mic Drop)
The very nature of science dictates that change is a constant. It's been exciting to be alive at a me when discoveries are happening at breakneck speed. I don't think that having so many scientists devoted to a single mission has happened since Sputnik. I know of no lockdown that has gone on for almost a year. What place is this? Is it on earth? I'm sorry that people are too dumb to comprehend that not much goes smoothly during a pandemic. You expect new discoveries to roll out in easy to digest little segments that give you the instant access to the question you want an answer for right now? That might control the heightened anxiety levels people are experiencing but, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. But any idiot can read that vaccines are a huge success and the any minor side effect is meaningless compared to the side effects from Covid.

No, you don't need to reveal your vaccine status but everyone will know eventually when you can't get a job. Needless to say, patient care will be a no-no for you since we have to protect the few and far who cannot be valued. So yes, your employer has every right to know your status. Smart people will still have to mask forever unless we get 90%. That bar used to be lower until hold outs allowed even more mutations to evolve while they argue that their right to say has no effect on making it worst for everyone else.

OMG. You are saddened that people value health more than freedom. Are you chaneling Laura Ingraham? Really Laura, is that you? One is never free to kill in out society. Life is the highest right. Freedom is a word than is cheap and misunderstood. No one has absolute freedom. People who break the social contract are really just superfluous.

Financiers are warning about a bubble. Cheap mortgages may have created a monster. Looks like 2008 all over again.

If they can't be shamed into vaccination then society will just move on to mandates and vaccine passes. I've read that some of the previously resistant in the usual culprit states are now requesting shots. Why should these people be allowed to cause such suffering and expenses for the rest of us?
