Ron Brownstein: “While most state and national GOP leaders are focused on defending the rights of unvaccinated Americans, new polling shows that the large majority of vaccinated adults—including a substantial portion of Republicans—support tougher measures against those who have refused COVID-19 shots.”

“These new results, shared exclusively with The Atlantic by several pollsters, reveal that significant majorities of people who have been vaccinated support vaccine mandates for health workers, government employees, college students, and airline travelers—even, in some surveys, for all Americans or all private-sector workers. Most of the vaccinated respondents also say that entry to entertainment and sporting arenas should require proof of vaccination, and half say the same about restaurants.”

“All of this suggests that as the Delta variant’s ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’ disrupts the return to ‘normal’ life promised by the vaccines, a backlash may be intensifying among those who have received the shots against those who have not.”

Used to be they said it was better to be pissed off than pissed on, but nowadays, it's both. Sucks.

And anger drives voters to the polls. It is the conservative playbook that is about to backfire on them.

I had to provide proof of tuberculosis vaccination and a clean chest X-ray as a condition of being hired. This was a NJ requirement at the time for food workers. I had to do the same thing to work in the college dining hall.

Why the hell shouldn't people be required to provide proof of covid vaccination for certain jobs in 2021?




Incidentally, I was probably the first female ice cream truck driver in NJ.
