Los Angeles County sheriff won't enforce vaccine mandate

LOS ANGELES (AP) The Los Angeles County sheriff says he will not enforce the county's vaccine mandate in his agency.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who oversees the largest sheriff's department in the country with roughly 18,000 employees, said Thursday in a Facebook Live event that he does not plan to carry out the county's mandate, under which Los Angeles County employees had to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 1.
The mandate was issued by executive order in August and allows only for religious and medical exemptions. Villanueva said his employees are willing to be terminated rather than get vaccinated.
I dont want to be in a position to lose 5, 10% of my workforce overnight on a vaccine mandate, the sheriff said.

Villanueva's announcement came a day after the city of Los Angeles approved one of the nations strictest vaccine mandates a sweeping measure that requires the shots for everyone entering bars, restaurants, nail salons, gyms or even a Lakers game.

Or chartreuse...if people don't want to wear masks, so be it. I wear mine wherever I go and into whatever establishment. Anti-maskers and vaxxers? Please do proceed in your ignorance and stupidity. The sooner I'm rid of you the better I'll feel.
