Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate is about to strike again.
While the OSHA rule was struck down, it has not stopped the vaccine mandate from being put in place for those collecting a government paycheck.
The people of LA County are about to get a hard dose of reality of the vaccine mandate deadline hitting.
Fire Them All!
Joe Biden was adamant that he could care less if people lose their jobs over this mandate.
After all, he wanted to see troops that refused to get the vaccine dishonorably discharged.
During a town hall event, Biden also backed the firing of first responders, and now he is going to get his wish.
In LA County, roughly 4,000 officers now stand to lose their job.
L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva refused to enforce the mandate, so local officials took matters into their own hands.
The measure was sent to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, which voted 4-0 to terminate 4,000 law enforcement officers.
With crime rates already rising throughout the state, laying off 40 percent of the officers in one county is not exactly going to help matters.
Villanueva stated, “Today the Board of Supervisors followed through on their threat and voted 4-0 (1 abstention) to form a suicide pact and start the process to fire 4,000 deputies for not being vaccinated.
“Showing deliberate indifference to the obvious impact on public safety, the Board hid behind an alleged threat to public safety they couldn’t back up with data.
“Tellingly, the Board’s own County Counsel (Rodrigo Castro-Silva) couldn’t offer even a basic legal opinion on the legality of the Board’s motion, or the obvious legal challenges they will face.
“The Board, who ignored the comments made by thousands of their constituents today during their meeting, is now seeking to fire the very same personnel who were forced to work in person, exposing themselves to the COVID-19 virus when there was no vaccine, while the Supervisors and most of the workforce were telecommuting from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
“Supervisor Kuehl falsely asserted in her motion that LASD employees represented 74% of infected County employees, ignoring the simple fact most infections were during pre-vaccine availability.”
He continued, “It is important to remember Department personnel who chose not to vaccinate are required to submit to weekly COVID testing, and have committed no administrative offense.
“This is nothing more than another politically motivated stunt by the Board, which has no bearing on public health, but will definitely harm public safety.”
I simply cannot imagine what is going to happen when the force is reduced by that many officers, literally overnight.
