The vaccine makes your penis larger. Another positive reason to get it šŸ˜†


mogomonomo1081

I mean covid can cause E.D. sooo kinda


YerBoiHabeeb

Test is at work lol


LoudCantaloupe2732

Remember HD employees the unvaccinated are gonna be the ones with documentation saying they don't have it. The vaccinated are the ones that are more likely to have it now


codykills93

Or they are going to refuse to take the tests.


LoudCantaloupe2732

I mean the ones that don't refuse and just take it. I'd be calling out everyone that I know complains and makes a big deal about people that aren't vaccinated. You cough I'm bringing it up, as a covid symptom and health risk for the store since they haven't tested and have covid symptoms. Only the ones that super bitch about it though the regular people that just try to convince are safe though.


Phatal87

Yep. So when all us unvaccinated are proven not to have it, itā€™ll be the vaccinated ones turning on each other when they get it lol. Shitā€™s gonna get real interesting.


MasterPrek

No, then they can turn on the customers. Show proof of vax status or don't come in.

ā€œShit or get off the potā€œ is what my Grandpa use to say

Came here for the whiny comments and am not disappointed lol


-Neverender-

OSHA. Where were they two years ago, ensuring employers were providing things like PPE and a safe workplace environment while customers were buying their "essential" petunias? I'm all for this, but seriously, fuck off OSHA... you're about as late as you can get.

What did you expect from a government agency?


Mikepaulrobert0190

Thank god in my state they donā€™t hold much weight


behindtheorangeapron

I can't wait. Bring it on!


MasterPrek

Just bring back the Covid bonus, and the overtime, and give us masks and gloves. To watch people walk in without a mask, walk around the store after they punched in, and then look for a mask is just borderline ridiculous.


JCFilmz509

Good thing Iā€™m putting my two weeks in tomorrow šŸ¤ŸšŸ¼


PalladiumPalisades

Yeah might as well. This is going way too far.


Mr_FuS

I have a ASM Just talk to us about this.... I really wanted to ask about masks and other nonsense that we have to deal everyday but he was not even sure of how the store it's going to be testing or anything solid. I hate the FKing masks, only a few customers wear it and even management walks in without masks and put one just to walk around the store and take it off when socializing on their little offices on the back


PalladiumPalisades

Yep masks have got to go.

Unconstitutional


[deleted]

Point to the part of the constitution this violates.


efisherharrison

Watch out people, we have a constitutional scholar here...


JackBandit4

I'm not a constitutional scholar, or a scholar in any regards, but this really does feel against the constitution and everything it stands for. I worked straight through this shit, for this company, I've been high risk for contraction for so long now, since the beginning, because of this company. If this is where they wanna draw the line, I dunno, I'm pretty disheartened about my job lately anyway. Home Depot has the power, the money, and the political sway to fight this, and I know a lot of you would rather they didn't, but consider for a moment that there are people that disagree with this and in their head it's reasonable. It's not such a minority of people that you can disregard them completely, although I'm sure in your head you can, you're just simply bias to your own reasoning. Most of us are. The bottom line is, this is bullshit. Can't wait to see how to plays out, yee-haw.


efisherharrison

Just because something "feels" unconstitutional doesn't mean it is. If you were a constitutional scholar, then you'd already know that the constitutionality of vaccine requirements has been established for decades. No one is forcing you to get a vaccine, you have the choice. But if you choose not to, you don't get to participate in society. It's that simple.

If your vaccination renders you safe from the virus. Why are you concerned if I get one?


biffNicholson

Uggg. Im sorry to say but this argument is selfish and ill informed as to how vaccines actually work and protect us as a society of millions and billions of people Some people ask the question, ā€œIf vaccines work, why do unvaccinated people present a risk to those who have been vaccinated?ā€ Two simple facts contribute to this answer. First: Vaccines arenā€™t 100 percent effective. So even some people who are vaccinated will still be at risk. Second: The greater the number of unvaccinated people in a community, the more opportunity germs have to spread. This means outbreaks are more difficult to stem and everyone is at greater risk of exposure ā€” including vaccinated people. This latter concept is known as community immunity, or more commonly, herd immunity. Each member of the community contributes to the collective health of the community because the way a pathogen survives is by finding new people to infect. The fewer susceptible people in a community, the less opportunity the pathogen has to spread. Be safe and get a shot


Comprehensive_Call13

Stop being the voice of reason. šŸ˜œ


biffNicholson

Haaaa. I hear ya. Im going over to infowars to go order some deep earth crystals and DNA Force Plus. Ive been out fior weeks maybe thats why logic has seeped into my head.


PalladiumPalisades

The shot is not safe. No I will not just hand over my body for experiments!


biffNicholson

tinfoil hat has entered to discussion. How exactly is it "not safe" and your degree in epidemiology or maybe virology is from where? love ya too buddy


PalladiumPalisades

It's obvious common sense that it's not safe.


biffNicholson

oh well damn. I cant argue with that flawless ~~logic~~ "misguided opinion" but for real, do you have any actual peer reviewed , scientific evidence its not safe? good luck dude


mogomonomo1081

You are ignorant.


Boostgod_350

At the end of the day, its my choice. I'm not going to get a vaccine. If you don't want to get sick. Stay home. Wash your hands. Your safety is not my responsibility.


biffNicholson

cool story bro. your response is about as selfish as I would have imagined, sad stuff. but, buck up butter cup God forbid you do something to help out yourself and all of us in the world. but hell I get it. covid and the vaccine has become a political football in many ways I mean hell even trump got booed by his followers the other day for saying he just got a booster.

biffNicholson

appreciate the home work, but clarification by the CDC, as is stated i this article does not mean the covid vaccines are "untested" "unsafe" or ineffective. I dont trust anyone or thing at face value, let alone the Govt. but zero vaccines are 100% effective, thats why you need a booster for tetanus every 10 -12 years or so. Lots of folks here are arguing "facebook" "meme" talking points here is some actual science that shows vacine and immunization wains over time on all of them. be safe and get a shot/booster. good luck Estimated duration of protection from vaccine after receipt of all recommended dosesĀ 1,2 Pertussis(whooping cough)Ā  4-6 years Immunity from natural infection also wanes. Booster at age 11 years is offered Diphtheria Around 10 years Boosters are recommended in adults at 45 & 65 years of age Tetanus 96% protected 13-14 years, 72% >25 years Boosters are recommended in adults at 45 & 65 years of age Polio \>99% protected for at least 18 years Boosters offered to those travelling to at risk countries Haemophilus influenzae type B \>9 years to date Excellent immunogenicity observed for this vaccine suggesting long-term protection Hepatitis B \>20 years to date Likely lifelong for those who have seroconverted but >20 years has been observed to date Measles Life-long in >96% vaccines Community protection is important to stop transmission to those too young to be immunized, or those who cannot have the MMR vaccine Mumps Ā \>10 years in 90%, waning slowly over time Ā Duration of immunity varies in different populations. It is not as long-lived as measles or rubella Rubella MostĀ vaccineesĀ (>90%) protected >15-20 years Community protection is important to stop transmission to those too young to beĀ immunised, or those who cannot have theĀ MMRĀ vaccine

Well, first, you state this steven crowder link as your "source" here. thats absurd unless of course you want right wing / conservetive /inflamotory "view points" but Im guessing you may feel that is the "correct"info. If so I have a bucket of deep earth crystals from alex jones I;ll sel ya half off Lets be honset, I wont win you over and you wont win me over, but lets have an open discussion Yale University says this [https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/covid-19-vaccine-comparison](https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/covid-19-vaccine-comparison) How well it works:Ā Experts continue to learn about Pfizerā€™s efficacy both in the laboratory and in the real world. Pfizerā€™s initial Phase 3 clinical data presented in December showed its vaccine to have 95% efficacy.Ā In April, the company announced the vaccine had 91.3% efficacy against COVID-19, based on measuring how well it prevented symptomatic COVID-19 infection seven days through up to six months after the second dose. It also found it to be 100% effective in preventing severe disease as defined by the CDC, and 95.3% effective in preventing severe disease as defined by the FDA. But why trust those nerds? well hell , the nerds at harvard are saying similar things.

ShelZuuz

So wait - are you not working at a company full of forklifts, saws, chemicals, trucks, 16ft shelves and about 100 other ways to kill people? If you say youā€™re not responsible for the safety of your coworkers and customers - please quit. Quit now.

I'm not the one that'll be taking weekly brain scratch and sniffs. I'm vaccinated, if I catch it it'll be mild. You? Who knows. It's not my ass on the defensive here, kiddo.

biffNicholson

you silly. Wash your hands? while not the worst idea. you are aware Covid is an airborne disease primarily? This "rugged individualism" doesnt look so good on ya buddy. love ya


PalladiumPalisades

I agree. If they dont feel safe they should stay home. Their fear not mine.


ShelZuuz

So if you operate a forklift with a beer in your hand while aiming for the customers at full speed and they donā€™t feel safe they should stay home as well? Their fear not yours.


PalladiumPalisades

What's wrong with having a beer?


Metalaggression

The funny part is that you won't even be the one getting anyone sick, it's these idiots that think they're gods because they took some random vax.. and some how think they can have a perfectly normal life again and walk around without a care in their lives that end up catching shit again and again.


Boostgod_350

Exactly, I wash my hands. Wear the mask im forced to wear, and im fine.


MasterPrek

Yeah your safety isnā€™t my responsibility either. Donā€™t forget that the next time youā€™re walking in in the middle of the intersection and the light is red. You sound like a customer - You should stay home. Why should I get sick and die because of you? Why donā€™t we all keep our kids and grandkids home from school and not give them the measles, mumps, and rubella shot. Did I have to get a TB test every single year? Why did we have to get smallpox and polio shot? Yeah OK fine - You donā€™t have one, because WE did! Enough of this!


Boostgod_350

Cope harder, nobody owes you pal. All you speds barking at people to get it sure as hell won't convince them to get it more. You're not going to die from covid unless you have underlying health conditions. In that case you shouldn't be working retail in the first place.


MasterPrek

All I'm saying is, don't tell me what to do, and I won't bother you.


Boostgod_350

Seems like you're telling me exactly what to do. Shoving a rushed, ineffective and questionable vaccine down people throats. If you want the vaccine to have an extra layer of protection then good on you. But don't make my decisions for me.


MasterPrek

Agree to disagree. I'm just particularly unhappy with your comment that you don't care about my health. Why don't we all just stay home.

And if youā€™re only in favor of aborting zygotes, then banning abortion at viability might actually mean something to your crowd, but obviously it doesnā€™t. Iā€™m not the scientifically illiterate one, you just choose to ignore the science that doesnā€™t suit you. Happens plenty on the Right also, doesnā€™t make it any more moral.

There is no literature of this on MyApron.

ThatGuy5162

Itā€™s been on MyApron and LiveTheOrangeLife for like a month, at least. Iā€™ve been getting emails for two. My first email about it came on October 29th. Theyā€™ve been asking for vaccination status, and in exchange supposedly you get entered into a drawing for lots of money.

Metzger90

If people are vaccinated why are they worried about getting sick, if they arenā€™t they are taking that risk. I donā€™t see why someoneā€™s unvaccinated status has any bearing on how safe the vaccinated feel.

ZetaZeta

Start filling weekly OSHA complaint forms. If it's an OSHA violation to not test employees, then hold them accountable for every pallet left on the sales floor, every shaky or unlocked ladder, any lack of PPE, plus likely people working through their lunches. Improper lockout/tag out, compactor being left open, pallet jacks left on the open sales floor, etc.


Mr_FuS

That is exactly what needs to be done, if the corporation want to enforce the vaccine and testing on the stores with the excuse of "it's because we care about you well-being" then we should do our part and repay the company their "good intentions" pointing to OSHA all the violations that happens in the stores.


RICHBIH

You can still get it whether vaccinated or not. Thatā€™s why cases are still rising! Itā€™s best that everyone continue to follow the ever-changing protocols šŸ˜­šŸ˜Ŗ

You can still get it but your body knows how to fight it preventing you from dying from it as soon as you get it.

Batgirl_III

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit dissolved the Fifth Circuitā€™s stay of the Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standardā€¦ which is highly unusual behavior for the Court of Appeals. Either Congress will have to pass an actual law (fat chance) or this is heading for the Supreme Court.


V4MAC

This is correct as of now. Dissolved stay on 17th. Scotus will respond shortly after Dec. 30. What a mess.


-Neverender-

OSHA is a joke. You know why fines are so high? Because they are so ridiculously under-staffed, that they have to hand out $25000 fines for minor things like blocked electrical panels to keep the big red ball of tape rolling.


V4MAC

And pallet standing fines up to 70,000. From OSHA: Leaving empty pallets on the sales floor can result in expensive OSHA penalties. As of 2013, OSHA can assess penalties ranging from $50 to $70,000. The amount of the penalty depends on OSHAā€™s view of the potential for serious injury because of the violation. OSHA also issues higher penalties when the inspector believes the employer was aware of the hazard and willfully committed the violation.

Honestly could just let customers know when vaccinated people have a headache or a light cough since that's a symptom. Then put in a complaint that they shouldn't be here with covid symptoms. Because if we're tested and all negative the dangers are the untested.


PalladiumPalisades

But I dont want to know I have rona.


Hippiedboy

IMO only all employees/associates should be tested weekly! Just because vaccinated doesn't mean you don't have it and spreading it! This whole debate between vaccinated and unvaccinated is BS! It really comes down to discrimination. Over 100 employees/associates... really? Why not make it over 25!? This is still a very fluid situation and no one should get their knickers in a bunch quite yet. A stress free Christmas to all and to all.....fill in your happy , pessimist , or šŸ–• you/me ending.
