Default CNN Fires Unvaccinated Employees

and you can bet they continue to skew the news... to make this look favorable.

Network says it has a zero tolerance policy on coming to the office unvaccinated

https://www.newser.com/story/309490/...ss_world_login

CNN is not messing around when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines: Three unvaccinated employees who showed up to work have been fired, the network announced in a memo to their former colleagues Thursday. "Let me be clear—we have a zero tolerance policy on this," wrote CNN chief Jeff Zucker in the memo, which was obtained by the AP. The network requires employees who are working in the office or in the field in contact with colleagues to be fully vaccinated for the coronavirus.

Currently, employees can go back into the office if they choose. The network was planning for a company-wide return to the office Sept. 7, but that has now been delayed to mid-October since COVID cases are back on the rise. Zucker warned in the memo that that target date could change again, and said 30 days' notice would be given, the Wall Street Journal reports. The employees who were fired were entering the New York office, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Good for them. Hoopefully the Commie News Network implodes sooner than later.

Will CNN cover all the "wrongful termination" lawsuits filed against them... and do their normal "skew the facts" to always make the employer look like white-sexist-bigoted scum?

Too bad they don't have the same mentality about firing employees most likely to spread AIDS.

cnn's way of ferreting out those that may have an ounce of conservatism in them.
Let them eat their own.

I guess "My Body, My Choice" only works when it's convenient for pro-abortion activists.

Saw a u-tube yesterday made by that guy who walks around asking people to sign fake petitions. This one was to jail unvaccinated people and force them to take the shot.

Most were happy to sign it but one guy pointed out that was fascist and another who was carrying a surfboard called him a scumbag

And meth addicts that want to live in the street and have the city supply them drugs
And San Fransicans that want to shit in the street
And men who want to lift weights on the women's Olympic team
And girls who want to be boys
And boys that want to be girls
And guys that want a bag of real dicks up their ass
