40% Of California State Workers Are Unvaccinated Despite Newsom’s Order

    This might come as a surprise, but 40% of California state employees are unvaccinated despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s directive to mandate the jab or be subjected to regular testing.

    Newsom issued this new directive in July following a surge in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. At the time, he said, “We are now dealing with a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and it’s going to take renewed efforts to protect Californians from the dangerous Delta variant.”

    Still months later, less than two-thirds of state workers, or 62%, were vaccinated, according to The Sacramento BeeThe figure is much lower than the state’s overall rate of 72%. 

    Human Resources Department spokeswoman Camille Travis said her agency has only compiled 89% of state employee vaccination status. She said the data so far suggests some state employees weren’t compelled to get jabbed after Newsom’s directive.

    Some of the state’s largest departments shared vaccination rates: 52% of California Highway Patrol employees, 60% of Department of Motor Vehicles employees, and 60% of prison employees have received the shots. California Department of Transportation has the highest with 70%.

    Newsom’s mandatory jab, or be forced to regular testing for state employees, is less stringent than those of health care workers who have been forced to get the vaccine unless they had a medical exemption or religious claim. One emerging drawback of mandatory jabs, with no consideration for regular testing nor naturally-acquired immunity, are reports that a third of all hospitals in the state are experiencing critical staffing shortages because engineers, janitorial staff, respiratory therapists, nurses, midwives, physical therapists, and technicians have either staged strikes or have left the job over the mandate.

    Director of Medical Ethics, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty of the University of California, Irvine, challenged the constitutionality of the hospital’s vaccine mandate regarding individuals who have recovered from COVID and have naturally acquired immunity and was immediately placed on leave. There’s no room to debate science as only the government can decide what’s best for state employees.

    The same sort of stringent vaccination rules for healthcare workers could be coming to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the state’s largest department, with approximately 66,000 employees and a vaccination rate of 60%.

    Overreaching government mandating jabs has unintended consequences such as workers striking or leaving their posts altogether, exacerbating already critical labor shortages in essential services. 

    Perhaps of even more note is the fact no lesser liberal mouthpiece than The New York Times is finally willing to admit that it’s not just KKK-Hat-wearing ‘Trumpers’ that are the great unwashed deplorables refusing to get vaccinated.

    In New York, for example, only 42 percent of African Americans of all ages (and 49 percent among adults) are fully vaccinated – the lowest rate among all demographic groups tracked by the city.

    This is another area in which the dominant image of the white, QAnon-spouting, Tucker Carlson-watching conspiracist anti-vaxxer dying to own the libs is so damaging.

    It can lead us to ignore the problem of racialized health inequities with deep historic roots but also ongoing repercussions, and prevent us from understanding that there are different kinds of vaccine hesitancy, which require different approaches.

    Just ask Nicki Minaj.

    … the Covid States Project’s research showed that unvaccinated people who nonetheless wore masks were, indeed, more likely to be Black women.

      1. If the polls were not rigged California would have got rid of newsome.

      2. They should just be fired, and if California still operates normally then it proves the State has 40% more employees than it needs.

        • No, fire the sixty percent of incompetent sheep that complied and bring the 40 percent that can think for themselves and did not comply back to work.

      3. Hey, Colin Powell was double vaccinated. Now he has a vaccine passport straight to Hell! Get the shot and die. We can only hope that most of the deep state got the shot.

      4. But, you were already given the answer.

        It is rude to say white genocide, Great Replacement, or replacement demographics. It’s politically correct to say replenishment.

        Natl Guard and Philippinos were supposed to replenish the present crop of quota cases.

        You would not have gotten within ten feet of steady employment, in any captured industry, unless they had reason, in your permanent record, to believe that you were defective.

      5. “Did you ever think you would read those ‘facts’ from that ‘news’ outlet.”

        Real eyes realize real lies.

      6. If anyone has been watching news sources not from MSM then would know these vials of false vaccines contain anywhere from only a saline solution to living organism of unknown origin or its intent to nanobots. The sheeple are going to be fleeced by death, in the coming months and years from these.

        • Apache…we can only hope.
