COVID OMICRON Thread

[Ingomike]

Why limit it to CV. Why don't employers protect employees from other communicable diseases?

I said from the beginning, in typical fashion, the left can never see the unintended consequences of the slippery slope…

You could replace the phrase "communicable disease" with "preventable condition" in my comment as well.

So by your, standards an employer who believes that ivermectin has prophylactic properties, can mandate all employees take ivermectin to keep the workplace safe?

Sure...if they want to and can find a doctor to give a prescription to all their employees.

 

[mbills2223]

Perhaps, but when politics gets involved with science it sure starts to trend that way.

I'm just not talking about politics + COVID when it seems the rest of you are.

And requiring women to be on birth control pills to keep insurance costs down and eliminate time off work?


You may just be that purist but few are, including SCOTUS. If the company doctor prescribed ivermectin to the employees as a condition of employment it would be shot down at every level…

Why would anyone prefer who the employer of the person requiring the vaccine was? If it's .gov or .com makes no difference... once you remove politics from the discussion that is.

And that would be inconsistent with previous rulings, in my opinion. Of course...I'm far from a legal expert. Just some dude on the internet

Pfizer submitted their Biologics License Application on May 18, 2021 for their mRNA vaccine. It was approved on August 23, 2021.
Moderna submitted their Biologics License Application on June 1, 2021 for their mRNA vaccine. No approval yet.
Why the big difference? Didn't Moderna pay them enough?

Cloth mask? Probably not worth it...certainly not for Omicron. I told my employees in the very beginning not to bother with cloth masks and explicitly prohibited them in the pharmacy. I outfitted all of them with N95s and we continue to wear them.

Sincere question; what would allow you to judge that masks are no longer needed? There's nuance to every situation, but at what point and/ or why would you allow the discontinuance of mask wearing demands?

In what context or capacity? Are you referring specifically to my place of work? I want to make sure I understand the question before I ramble lol

Yes. You need not be specific, but under what situation-ish would you allow naked faces?

Hey Folks,

Let me offer a hint.

This is a scamdemic. This is a power grab.

Choose what ever you may. Choose wisely.

Well I'll be transparent as I am with my staff. I have a high risk son that influences my decision making on personal risk taking if you will. We still have patients on a routine basis (at least once daily) coming to the pharmacy to get meds with active COVID. I'm not mad at them, they need their meds (although we do offer free no contact delivery), so as long as that's still happening with such regularity it will likely continue. When that becomes less frequent I would probably loosen up for staff, although I will personally probably continue beyond that. Alternatively, it the next mutation is even more mild than Omicron, I would probably allow it.

It's always hard to say for sure until the situation arises, but that's my current thought.

I hate to break it to you, but plenty of money is made on generics.

When comparing covid vax to generic ivermectin - no money is made on the ivermectin.
