Why the extreme right wants to destroy Dr. Fauci. [View all]

I can see it in the workplace. My company started late last Summer. Corporate 'suggested' employees get vaccinated by mid-October. At the time vaccinated employees were about 45%. It increased to 56% about 10 days ago but apparently not enough for the powers-that-be. Now there is more incentives. Be vaccinated by early December. The company as of this week will no longer pay for time off for a 2-week quarantine if you are unvaccinated as there PTO or unpaid leave must be used. Uncaccinated employees will pay higher health insurance too. We have masked up for over 1.5 years now and they are very anal about you keeping the masks on. I am waiting for the final shoe to drop after the first week of December. Oh, and new hires you MUST be vaccinated period.

The company my former coworker is employed is taking an even harder line and that is, be vaccinated by the first week of December or else you must take 30 days of unpaid leave. After the 30 days are up, if you still aren't vaccinated you will be terminated.

The point is, companies are mandating that you get vaccinated more than ever. Fauci and the science community are winning with their message. More companies are mandating masks and vaccinations. Southwest Airline's decision has been upheld. The far right must be livid about this. Dr. Fauci is the most obvious high profile person to blame for this which is why the conspiracy theories about him has stepped up quite a bit very recently. The RWNJs are losing and they hate it.
