Please explain how “the majority of federal government employees get an exemption” whenQuote:

Update on Washington's state employee mandate (the strictest in the nation, with no testing alternative): As of Sept. 20, 68% of the nearly 63,000 workers subject to the mandate are fully vaccinated. That’s up from the 49% on Sept. 6. Oct 18 is the deadline to be fully vaccinated.
Somehow I thought Skidog said the initial positive was from a PCR test, but he didn't. Your analysis is probably correct if the first test was antigen.Quote:

I'm not seeing the exemptions for congress and their staff. It's an E.O. that includes any entities receiving federal funds. I don't see how that would limit it to the Executive Branch.Quote:

Half of unvaccinated workers say they’d rather quit than get a shot – but real-world data suggest few are following through

Quieter actions
But while it is easy and cost-free to tell a pollster you’ll quit your job, actually doing so when it means losing a paycheck you and your family may depend upon is another matter.
And based on a sample of companies that already have vaccine mandates in place, the actual number who do resign rather than get the vaccine is much smaller than the survey data suggest.
Houston Methodist Hospital, for example, required its 25,000 workers to get a vaccine by June 7. Before the mandate, about 15% of its employees were unvaccinated. By mid-June, that percentage had dropped to 3% and hit 2% by late July. A total of 153 workers were fired or resigned, while another 285 were granted medical or religious exemptions and 332 were allowed to defer it.
At Jewish Home Family in Rockleigh, New Jersey, only five of its 527 workers quit following its vaccine mandate. Two out of 250 workers left Westminster Village in Bloomington, Illinois, and even in deeply conservative rural Alabama, a state with one of the lowest vaccine uptake rates, Hanceville Nursing & Rehab Center lost only six of its 260 employees.
Delta Airlines didn’t mandate a shot, but in August it did subject unvaccinated workers to a US$200 per month health insurance surcharge. Yet the airline said fewer than 2% of employees have quit over the policy.
And at Indiana University Health, the 125 workers who quit are out of 35,800 total employees, or 0.3%.
It was another example of how the antivaxxers spin bs. POTUS can’t tell legislative and judicial what to do becomes “gets special exemptions”. There is no honest dialogue with these peopleQuote:

Even if this is true it doesn't prove the vaccine is ineffective. The majority of people in the hospital are old. Old people have a much higher vaccination % than young people.Quote:

Jeremy McAnulty misspoke when initially detailing the vaccination status of people in hospital. Dr McAnulty later corrected the record during the same press conference, identifying that everyone in intensive care units (ICUs) in the state due to COVID-19 was unvaccinated – except for one individual who was partially vaccinated.
The slip-up led to social media users claiming that vaccines are “useless” in preventing hospitalisation.
