Told you so.
Go pound sand? Easy there pops, it’s not 1922 anymore. Did you think that one up as you were dressing into your zoot suit? Or as you were climbing onto the street car on your way to the nickelodeon?
You are an id--t! My sister got vaxxed with J&J and in fact died three weeks ago from COVID! Go pound sand you id--t!
A grim milestone happened today. 700,000 people have now died from COVID19. 99% of the last 100,000 deaths and 95% of the last 200,000 deaths were people who WERE NOT VACCINATED.
Its simple Math and Common Sense. Its not about mandates. Its not about Freedom, ITS ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH . Please , Please , Please GET VACCINATED. If not, this pandemic will never end and we could have 1 Million dead by the end of 2021 from COVID19

Watch in the next two weeks, mandatory vaccination requirements are coming for all customer-facing and office employees. Leadership didn't want to go first, let AT&T get the bad PR. Once they saw that the union would roll over, the plans started. No need for a RIF this year, they see this as a way to roll off without paying for lay off.
Vaccines train your immune system to create antibodies, just as it does when it’s exposed to a disease. We're fighting over nothing. I am 100% for natural immunity. If you want the Vax, go for it. Don't just say trust the science when your for the vaccine if you're not going to trust the science for someone who doesn't want it.
We have another winner. Who has the “Freedom” of being a KNUCKLEHEAD, who says No to the Vaccine???. Waiting for herd immunity??? Give me a break.
Nature immunity is only 27 times more effective than the vaccine , but i guess that does not count in sheeps eyes . Follow the science today and let freedom ring !
This will be my #1 Interview Question going forward.
“Do you Believe in the COVID19 Vaccination?”
If the answer is NO, then you can’t work for me, I can’t work for you. I can’t work with you.
Another Uninformed KNUCKLEHEAD lives and Shouldn’t work for Verizon. Please share the Dept you work in. Ill make sure never to apply there.
It’s Official. Being an uninformed KNUCKLEHEAD is now Legal in the USA
Too bad you won’t have a Job at Verizon, if you believe everything you said.
READ THIS ARTICLE.
Vaccines Work: 97% Of COVID Deaths, 95% Of Hospitalizations And 94% Of Cases Are Among Unvaccinated

go back to talking about work from home being extended and how you supposedly will quit (yeah right) if it’s not extended indefinitely OR how 5G will force the end of wireline (yea right) in just 22 months, before August 2023
Can you please cite your stats about those 200,000 and provide a link and also break it down by demographics?
“You can look it up yourself“ or any answer like that not applicable here.
One way or another, this is gonna end. Whether it’s through vaccinations, or the death of all the anti vaxxers, we’ll have to see. But it’s gonna end. I’m hoping it’s through vaccinations.

Oh and please stop assuming everyone who is against your totalitarianism hasn’t gotten vaccinated.
It was compared to a motorcycle & accident, lifestlyle diseases and importantly, to other communicable and infectious diseases that also ki-l and get other people sick, regardless of their total numbers. It’s just a continuation of the same exact logic you are using and in the moving of the goal posts, , which is what is happening during this pandemic.
A virus that has taken over 696,603 US lives, that you are being told by medical science to wear a mask and get both your vaccines shots so you won't die if you do catch the virus and you continue to refuse the advice is sad. You have some control over this so don't compare it to a motorcycle or automobile accident (which you did not have control over). If you get emphysema from smoking, again thats a choice you made day after day to smoke (preventable) I have heard story after story when these anti vaxers are in the hospital ICU dying, can't breath, some having to lie on their stomachs to be able to breath, only THEN do they want the vaccine. Why didnt I take the shot, why didn't I believe the doctors, The point I am trying to make is we all make choices everyday, logical, illogical, good, bad.
ugh not you again.... OK so when you or anyone in your family or extended family gets any sort of communicable or contagious disease like flu, TB, meningitis, HIV, etc. and spreads it to anyone that gets them sick, no matter how serious or not serious, or gets emphysema from smoking, diabetes, hypertension or any lifestyle disease, etc., gets injured from riding a motorcycle, or gets in an automobile wreck, etc., no ICU beds, hospital stays, or medical care or coverage for you and anyone in your family.
You and your family are either a direct or indirect threat to the health & well-being of society, some more deadly and dangerous than others.
Here is a solution for all these anti-vaccine, dont wan't to wear a mask. When you come down with COVID and can't breath, NO ICU beds for you.
Im Vaxed. Im Waxed. And ready to have Sax.
I 100% forced vaccinations. Its the right thing to do.
Well said below. Get Vaccinated or Off Payroll by end of the year.
You know how the company is going to save a buck. Fire all the non vax before bonus day, you lose suckers. By December you all are going to find out, get the shot or off payroll. You all think it will not happen, it's going to happen. Oh, word in the mothership, religionous exemptions is off the table. Good luck.
@1hhy becauseTDS has now morphed into VDS
They could care less about public health or safety
@1cai+1d4voiXT
How does me getting the shot protect you? Your vaccinated right? You should be safe and protected. I have nothing to do with your safety bruh. Gtfoh.
Get the shot or become a recluse. Simple.
Your right to choose whether or not to get the shot does not outweigh my right to live safely. You can gamble with your own health, but not with mine, my family’s.
Get the shot or lose your job,very simple. No sympathy at all for those who can and don’t. Their choice, their consequences.
Get ready VZ. You are all next.
Oh and since you mentioned “Tylenol“, they were familiar with it & were working on since the late 1800’s, before it was introduced to the public.
Hey, you’re the one who mentioned it.
https://www.aplususapharma.com/blog/the-history-of-acetaminophen/
Tylenol? Huh? It’s not experimental. It’s been around for like 70 years now and was introduced in the 1950s after years and years of research, development, test trials, etc.
Please. What a horrible example. You can do better than that.
JUST GET THE SHOT!!!
If you are not getting the the shot because..
- you don't know what's in it, ask yourself if you know what's in Tylenol
- you are afraid of side affects, ask yourself if you know the side affects of Tylenol
- of some blog, critic, etc. ask yourself why you're listening to them
- you're against the 'man', ask yourself is it worth it in the end when you end up in the ICU?
Why does February 1st ring a bell? Oh that’s right, work from home is only extended until you are forced to get the shot. Then back to the ole grind.
forced vacations? where? florida? vegas? myrtle beach? cancun? puerto plata?
Looks like that Reuters bit left out something quite significant. NY Times also has article about the accommodation part as well, if you can log in and see it.
"The company set a Feb. 1, 2022 deadline for everyone to comply except those with an approved job accommodation."
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-29/at-t-to-require-vaccines-for-union-employees-represented-by-cwa
"Unionized workers who enter work locations and client or customer sites, or who are temporarily working from home, must be fully vaccinated by Feb. 1 unless they qualify for an accommodation, the company said. AT&T did not provide details on the exemptions."

Good…maybe they could force you to get an education and stop using the expression, “I DID A THING” while they’re at it….
ATT is far from a private business. How many private business would be allowed to accumulate $170 billion in debt? ATT is a corporation with limited competition that is not performance based.
Compare ATT to a local restaurant. A local restaurant actually has to compete, and can't rely on obtaining unlimited amounts of loans.
Who cares? A private business can do whatever it wants.
