I appreciate what they do, but they are well compensated for it.

A small group. The much larger group NOT endorsing Elder is sane and won’t get the cameras.

The firefighters in WA are all saying the same thing, but they quietly get the vax to avoid losing a really good job. Then they "don't want to talk about it".

No surprise there. The local news reported their union rep as saying they can leave the city and get a job elsewhere easily if San Diego doesn't want them here. I say, "GOOD BYE! And good riddance to bad rubbish".

Of course they won't be making that much in most cities. They just like whining. They sound like spoiled babies. Too much testosterone in that profession.

there now. I’m from a little up north and left in ‘76. I used to ride my Honda 70 down the 395 and over to El Cajon to visit cousins.

It obvious these vaccination deniers aren’t on the job to save people’s lives. They’re in it for the salary, the benefits, and the days off. Saving people’s lives is, risking their own is the downside for them and probably shirkable when push comes to shove

Go ahead vaxholes, make all the other firefighters look bad

The ones that don't want the vaccine can be easily replaced by ones that do!
