Amtrak suspends vaccine mandate

Amtrak is temporarily suspending a requirement for employees to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by early January, the railroad said Tuesday, a move that could stave off a feared reduction in service as fewer than 500 active employees remain unvaccinated.

Amtrak CEO Bill Flynn said in a memo that unvaccinated workers are required to submit Covid-19 tests, and those who don’t comply with the rule will first be placed on an unpaid leave of absence and could eventually be subject to termination (the news was first reported by Reuters).

Flynn said the company adjusted its vaccine policy after a federal judge decided last week to halt the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors and subcontractors

Nearly 96% of Amtrak employees are fully vaccinated and 97.3% have received at least one dose as of Tuesday, according to the memo, leaving fewer than 500 of the railroad’s more than 17,500 employees unvaccinated.

Flynn said Amtrak still hopes to get all of its employees vaccinated.

The new vaccine-or-test rule will remain in effect while the vaccine mandate for federal contractors remains unenforceable, according to the memo.

Last week, Gardner testified before the House of Representatives that Amtrak expected to limit its service frequency due to worker shortages after the vaccine mandate for federal contractors takes effect January 4. The railroad has also seen a drop in employees over the course of the pandemic due to retirements and resignations, he said.

“After reviewing our system service plans in light of these changes, we do not anticipate having system-wide service impacts in January,” Flynn said in Tuesday’s memo.
Surprising Fact

Amtrak is a federally chartered corporation whose board of directors is appointed by the president, but it operates as an independent agency and a for-profit company. Congress created the railroad in 1970 after private railroad companies operated passenger rail services at a large net loss for years, and operations began the following year.

Doctor who caught omicron at super spreader event says pandemic isn't just due to the unvaccinated

The experimental "vaccine" narrative is starting to fall apart. We knew it was only a matter of time before the evidence became so overwhelming it had to happen.

quote:

“This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Not the vaccinated, the unvaccinated. That’s the problem,” Biden said. “Everybody talks about freedom about not to have a shot or have a test. Well guess what? How about patriotism? How about you make sure you’re vaccinated, so you do not spread the disease to anyone else.”

“What about that?” Biden continued. “What’s the big deal?”

Stop lying, Joe!

A Pandemic of the Vaccinated.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced this weekend that 80 percent of COVID-19 “Omicron variant” cases are found in so-called “fully vaccinated” individuals. Forty-seven percent of Omicron cases – which are far milder than original COVID-19 cases – are found in those who received the first round of vaccinations, and with 33 percent of cases found in people with both vaccination and booster shots.

Only 19 percent of cases were identified in unvaccinated individuals.

It is absolutely sickening that this old asshole FRAUD and TRAITOR is allowed to openly lie to the American people via the crooked media like this. My most fervent wish is that he suffers a massive debilitating stroke and his stupid wife has to spend the remainder of her days caring for a vegetable that babbles and shits all over the place.

As per a famous quote, incorrectly attributed to Mark Twain, but voiced by lawyer Clarence Darrow, "I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."

That goes from Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC & her Squad, and numerous other Leftists that have/are doing their best to destroy all that is good and decent in this country.

Things can not continue on without a major eruption in the body politic.

Kinda. She was basically saying the opposite of what we need to do and pushed the “we can stop” COVID narrative. The problem you see is we need to be vaccinated, social distanced AND wear a mask. If she and the other wedding guests had kept mask on everyone would have been fine.

JohnCourage: You raise an interesting point.
Those who are completely sold on the "vaccine" will never see the failure of the "vaccine" and back away from pushing it.
They will continue to see it all as the fault of those who refuse to be injected.

I had to listen to several radio commercials today from "State" experts advising against and condemning Christmas gatherings again this year. (not my car so didn't have a choice - I don't listen to the radio anymore now that I have my own playlists)

But you can stuff 50,000 people into a domed football stadium with no concerns.

Thank you, Sen. Cruz, for speaking out!

So the Skins who have very few unvaccinated players is down a dozen and a half players this week. I guess them vaccines work great. Playing for last playoff spot. Oh well...

Yup. I just roll my eyes when watching hockey and they say "so-and-so is out of the line up in Covid protocol". You KNOW every one of them swingin' dicks has gotten the jab!! So WTF is ANYONE going into "Covid Protocol"??!?!?!?!?

I THOUGHT THE VACCINES WORKED?????

What a fuckin' sham......

Pretty sure she is doing that now.

And everyone has to be fired if they disagree with the mandated injection...

Been on indefinite unpaid leave since 12-NOV. Good times. Good times...

No income
No benefits (well, they were gonna cost $1,205/month when they would normally be $280)
No access to 401k money because the company says I'm still an "Active" employee (Oh how convenient! If THAT'S not punitive punishment, I don't know what is)
Blocked from flying for another carrier

Funny thing about Kirby's "safety"...
Any passenger who is unvaccinated can still fly on a United plane
Any unvaccinated pilot from another carrier can sit on the flight deck jumpseat to commute to work or a vacation destination
Yet I...the unwashed, leperous wretch of society who was just fine flying the plane on 1-OCT is somehow putrid scum and can't fly on 2-OCT (when unpaid leave was supposed to originally start).

That's a "Reasonable" Accommodation for you.

They probably have low levels of vitamin D3.

I don't really follow them but you can't avoid all the news but apparently the Vikings are having Covid issues as well. I remember listening to their coach on sports talk while driving up to the lake last spring before the season started. The Vikings quarter back refused the vaccine and it pissed coach off. I remember him commenting on the radio saying something to the effect that "These guys get on the internet and read all this dumb stuff about how the vaccine could harm you and they actually believe it!" And of course the sports guy interviewing him assisted in demonizing players who wouldn't get the shot. Well the Vikings quarterback is not one of the players that is out.

The NHL did something similar. They called out publicly the four players in the entire league who would not get vaccinated before the season began. Basically how these guys were a threat to the rest of the players and how could they be so selfish etc. etc. Now the league is close to having to shut down due to so many players being out on Covid protocols and having to cancel games. Not one of the four unvaccinated players are on the protocol list. None of these players are actually sick mind you at least that I know of. They have either tested positive or have been exposed. But of course the response now is it would be much worse if we didn't get vaccinated. That's why these players aren't actually getting sick! They are lying when they say this of course because they all bought into the vaccine thinking it was going to innoculate everyone from getting the positive test so they could play their games without interruption and keep the money gates open. Didn't work out.

Maybe they will shut the NFL down this month and skip the playoffs. You know - for the players safety and the greater good.

The players deserve the inconveniences they are experiencing now - they could have easily stuck together and said no way. There would have been virtually no chance that Ownership/Leagues would risk billions and billions to support the nonsense.

^^^Well, there's always next season. Of course, I won't be watching then either, nor will I care in the slightest!
