Poll: 5% of unvaccinated adults have left a job because of a vaccination requirement

WASHINGTON – As the federal government prepares to unveil new vaccination rules for workplaces, 5% of unvaccinated adults say they have left a job because of a COVID-19 vaccination requirement, according to a survey released Thursday.

That represents 1% of all adults, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation//, which conducted the survey of 1,519 adults Oct. 14-24.

The White House is reviewing an emergency Labor Department rule requested by President Joe Biden spelling out vaccination rules for businesses with 100 or more employees. When released, the rule will fill in the details on how workers at larger businesses must get vaccinated or be tested regularly for the coronavirus.

Separately, federal employees and contractors must get inoculated unless they qualify for an exemption.

In other words most adults are getting the shot.

These are the people who listen to RW AM talk radio on the way to work and can't stop ranting about the topic of the day.

I've found RWNJs at work are belligerently impossible in every respect

Interesting how just turning the numbers around changes the whole story.

The people have spoken.

That 5% getting all the attention, and worse, its really only 1%.
The mass media just cannot stop themselves.
Neither can the social pollsters.

what they're saying is it will be just like any other business year. No affect on GDP. Mandates will have worked. Every day there are less and less unvaccinated Americans. They may be loud, but they're not the majority by a long shot.

As Scrivener says above, 80% of adults are vaxxed. This 5% is a twentieth of 20%.
This breathless coverage over the "principled" quitters is fawning over 1% of adults.
