Dear unvaccinated: Bye! And don't let the door hit you in the . . . well, you know

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Leonard Pitts Jr.

If you want to leave, take good care, hope you make a lot of nice friends out there”

— from “Wild World” by Cat Stevens

This is for those of you who’ve chosen to quit your jobs rather than submit to a vaccine mandate.

No telling how many of you there actually are, but lately, you’re all over the news. Just last week, a nearly-30-year veteran of the San Jose Police Department surrendered his badge rather than comply with the city’s requirement that all employees be inoculated against COVID-19. He joins an Army lieutenant colonel, some airline employees, a Major League Baseball executive, the choral director of the San Francisco Symphony, workers at the tax collector’s office in Orange County, Florida, and, incredibly, dozens of healthcare professionals.

Well, on behalf of the rest of us, the ones who miss concerts, restaurants and other people’s faces, the ones who are sick and tired of living in pandemic times, here’s a word of response to you quitters: Goodbye.

And here’s two more: Good riddance.

2. Great commentary. He definitely speaks for me.

"So if you’re angry, guess what? You’re not the only ones.

The difference is, your anger is dumb, and ours is not. Yours is about being coerced to do something you don’t want to do. Like that’s new. Like you’re not already required to get vaccinated to start school or travel to other countries. For that matter, you’re also required to mow your lawn, cover your hindparts and, yes, wear a seatbelt. So you’re mad at government and your job for doing what they’ve always done.

But the rest of us, we’re mad at you. Because this thing could have been over by now, and you’re the reason it isn’t."

5. Bye Bye Freedummys! Have fun being intubated in an ICU!

[Fullduplexxx]

6. Would that make them part of the moocher and taker class

[Mr.Bill]

7. I should point out regarding the 30 year Police Officer

in San Jose that at 30 years he has maxed out his pension and will collect 90% of his present salary for the rest of his life. Boo Hoo.

He would be an idiot or a power-crazed madman to want to work any longer anyway.

[Thunderbeast]

8. Pretty good deal for the pension plan.

Probably collect that great pension for about four months before they pull the plug on his ventilator.

9. Thats gonna look good on a resume

Or in an interview:

So why did you decide to leave so and so?

Because they asked me to get vaccinated for COVID.

Next Applicant!

14. Would a check with their current employer provide this information?

Generally, employment verification is performed before a job is offered.

Can a prior employer say the employer was terminated because they refused to vaccinate?

If so, this will follow them around even if they try to deny it.

15. Not sure what the rules are regarding employment checks

I do know from my career and interviewing scores of candidates that questions regarding the reasons that the candidate left prior jobs are of particular interest in an interview.

17. My experience is that employers generally won't say

Why people were terminated

11. The healthcare workers are problematic in many ways

since there is a shortage and many hospitals are over capacity because of COVID patients. This is the most frustrating group along with with nursing home workers.

12. Off to their Great Reward

13. In the near future kids will be singing, "A tisket, a tasket...

"A tisket, a tasket, unvaccinated casket"
"Who took a shot and skipped the shot"
"Know now they should not have risked it."
