Charles Pierce: The Ghoulish Hubris of Letting People Die and Calling That Bravery

[littlemissmartypants]

44. Santas died. I imagine bus drivers did too. It's less likely that they are

Abstaining getting vaccinated and losing livelihoods. Both jobs are high contact and high risk. Both create conditions that propagate infections.

The concept of infection is bilateral. Getting infected and infecting those you mingle with are similarly risky. The outcome of death is clearly documented and a predictable outcome if one's not vaccinated.

It is not inconceivable that both factors, each one being Anti-vaxxer, combine to contribute to the death toll.

So...
Q: Are there Santa/bus-driver shortages because too much of the candidate population pool died of Covid-19?
A: Yes

Q: Are there shortages because they (sensibly) put a vaccination requirement for those roles that have so much contact with young children and their would-be-job candidates refuse to get vaxxed?
A: Likely also yes because being vaxxed is then a condition of employment and without a vaccine record those individuals are ostensibly unemployable.

Thanks for the reply, GopherGal.
