Requiring every Fedex employee to take a vaccine that is now showing less than 40% effectiveness against the latest COVID variants, and is already being recommended for boosters after 6 months is not a strategy for success at FedEx. Especially when so many employees already have the more effective natural immunity.
Previous Covid Prevents Delta Infection Better Than Pfizer Shot
Rock, the article you linked said nothing about studying 800,000 people. It also did not say that you were 27 times more likely to have symptoms.
The article did say that the data hadn't been reviewed by peers and that the data showed that if you had a previous illness, you were better protected if you got a booster vaccine.
"Giving a single shot of the vaccine to those who had been previously infected also appeared to boost their protection. The long-term benefit of a booster dose of the inoculation, which has just recently begun in Israel, is unknown."
"The data was posted as a preprint article on medRxiv, and hasn’t yet been reviewed by other researchers."
If natural immunity is the way to go, let's get rid of the MMR and polio vaccine as well. Most, if not all states, mandate those vaccines. So, vaccine mandates are nothing new. Just something else to have a political fight about.
