70% of the active duty force across all branches are vaccinated, but only 34% of the whole Army (including Army Reserve and National Guard) are reported vaccinated. The shocking second figure is likely due to poor reporting from the Reserve and Guard on vaccination numbers (there isn’t a real tracking system in place).

30% is a huge number to force / fire

MSNBC:"Do you think teachers should be mandated to be vaccinated?"
Dr. Fauci: "I'm going to upset people on this but I think we should ... We are in a major surge now as we're going into the fall, into the school season. This is very serious business."

Vaccine Mandates
« Reply #26 on: August 23, 2021, 10:30:22 AM »
All New York City public school teachers and other staffers will have to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, officials said Monday as the nation's largest school system prepares for classes to start next month.

The city previously said teachers, like other city employees, would have to get the shots or get tested weeklyfor the virus. The new policy marks the first flat-out vaccination mandate for city workers in the nation's most populous city.

Delta Air Lines will impose a $200 monthly surcharge on employees who aren’t vaccinated against Covid-19, becoming the first major U.S. company to levy a penalty to stronglt encourage workers to get protected.

Delta stopped short of a mandatory vaccine requirement like the one imposed earlier this month by United Airlines Holdings Inc. and a growing number of other companies. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Facebook Inc. also have announced vaccine requirements.

The fee applies to employees in the airline’s health-care plan who haven’t received shots by Nov. 1. The company also will require weekly testing for employees who aren’t vaccinated by mid-September.

6) Not vaccinated because I've recovered and have natural immunity.

What's the difference between 5 and 6?

Also, I am not looking into whether you will vaccinate, rather how vax/anti vax you are.

1) thinks everyone should have to vaccinate
2) thinks it should be optional but believes in it for himself
3) thinks it's not needed but still safe
4) thinks it's unsafe

For 5 and 6
even if you have antibodies, you may still have to choose one of the last 2 if it's mandated.
will you vaccinate (even though you think it's pointless for you to) in order to get the passport, or are you worried about it.

Antibodies are not the be all and end all of natural immunity. Having to choose if its mandated...I'm not in Israel or subject to any real mandate so 3 is a choice I could live with. I dont think its unsafe just pretty confident I dont need it.

8. It sure is a good thing, I'm just too lazy to get it. Waiting for the government to offer a better incentive.

Under an upcoming mandate, all NYPD members will be required to get vaccinated against COVID-19, or be tested weekly, if they want to work.

The mandate begins Monday, coinciding with the start of public school in the city. It also comes as less than half of the NYPD’s 35,000 uniformed officers and 18,000 civilian personnel are vaccinated.

Under the mandate, any NYPD member who refuses to get their first dose of a COVID vaccine, or instead provide weekly proof of a COVID test, cannot work and won’t be paid.

This looks like a very sensible compromise, but they should need to pay for the tests themselves.

My understanding is that peak transmissibility is typically for a period of under 24h so a weekly test has very little impact.

Self administered tests aren't really a burden - NYPD should just stock up on them and make the test daily.

I think the idea is to make it such a hassle not to vaccinate that those who are on the fence will find vaccination to be the path of least resistance.

Yeah, but you might as well require 10 push-ups a day.
