Very interesting. I hadn't considered that ANY non-vaccinated staff were seen as a threat: employees who could spread vaccine hesitancy. Why didn't they 'stop' at 80% or even 90%? Now I understand the 99.7% they wanted.

I was a physician at a Brigham-associated major hospital (not MGH, and not BIDMC) in the Longwood area, and since ~2010 started refusing the flu shot. Then I needed an exemption (~2014), which I got from my PCP. Then in 2018 they got aggressive, and refused my medical exemption and I refused to give further documentation. They then refused new religious exemption, and in late 2019 they fired me for not taking the flu shot. A physician in good standing since 2006, fired in 2019. Later I realized it was just warm-up for them for covid. I didn't realize there were such high financial incentives for hospitals and executives for the flu shot uptake.

It was rather comical in HR with the nurses there. They wanted me to take the Flumist intranasal 'flu shot'. I knew recipients could spread infectious virus particles for 2-3 weeks after it, told them this, and asked them if I needed to wear a mask in elevators or hallways (I was research laboratory-based and had 0% patient contact). They said no. I asked them if they were concerned I would spread infectious agents to cancer patients in the elevators. They looked at me blankly. Obedience and uptake is what they wanted, or were told to achieve, from up on high.

It is very difficult and disturbing to come to terms with how readily human beings are compromised and complicit in evil. I do not see that this can be stopped or reformed. We have to try to preserve what is left uncorrupted and hope this will eventually reconfigure into an entirely new social and political structure.

Our governments are no longer legitimate and have lost their lawful authority. They are illegal associations of criminals complicit in genocide.
