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
You're ignoring the vast differences in hospitalization and death rate. You're ignoring the huge continuum that "symptomatic" can entail (from a sniffle to fluid filled lungs and suffocation). Lumping symptomatic into a single group is flat-out moronic.
If you're correct, I'd prefer to achieve my superhuman natural immunity by developing a hospital-free, non-lethal, probably asymptomatic case of covid courtesy of my vaccination.
If people are still developing mild and asymptomatic covid while vaccinated, this is this best case scenario. We march on toward herd immunity and "naturally" developed immune cells while keeping people out of the hospitals and morgues. It would seem to be the perfect scenario.
You go ahead and do it the hard way.
