or some who got the vaccine either.
My friend works in a dental office where all but one are vaccinated. The hygienist is an anti-vaxxer and she had two patients leave when they asked if she was vaccinated and she said no. She was furious!!
Later in the day they had a staff meeting of six. She related the story and she was advised by three to just lie. One person responded with a good speech about telling the truth and respect for the patients. The boss was quiet as he does not like confrontations.
This is the fabric of our society now. Lying is no big deal so who do we trust.

(32,629 posts)I think these people are motivated by bragging rights. They want to brag to their friends - the other Repukes - that they owned the libs. They never want to buckle because their "friends" will destroy them. The whole idea of "FreeDumbs" is secondary. It's shit they read on their phones.
"I told this lady off, and man did she get MAD!!!" means everything to them. Just so they can brag to other Repukes.
Our strategy has to be this: we shouldn't get angry. We should just laugh at them. Say things like, "Well I guess your life insurance must be paid up." "Oh have you picked out a cemetery yet?" "Oh who's included in your will?" "OK, well, bye!"

(20,573 posts)they really seem to have a need to expound onto other people about their beliefs. As I posted yesterday, two women got into a fist fight in Costco - one masked and one unmasked. This is a small mostly retirement town.

(6,008 posts)If she starts lying to patients about her vaccination status, it will come out eventually, and it will have dire consequences for the office. If he still refuses to do anything about it, then she should start looking for a new job as soon as possible.

(25,962 posts)If the unvaccinated hygienist lies about her vaccination status and exposes someone to a fatal case of COVID, he is in for a world of hurt. Also, he should care enough about his patients and their well-being to do something about the situation anyway.
I will go elsewhere for dental needs but I am starting to not trust just about anyone I don't know on this subject.

(20,573 posts)the fact that he is from an Asian country, working with a green card, employed by a company out of state. It might blow up in his face though if he doesn't do something.

(3,494 posts)You know, lying about ... But to be fair Newt and Starr were doing the same thing but they "weren't under oath".
It's all become a pissing match of one ups-manship to the point where its no big deal if you lie because everyone else does it. But as my mom always said, if your friends were jumping off a cliff, would you follow?
No party or group holds absolute sway over acting ethically. We all need to strive to be honest because society as a whole won't really function correctly without it.

(703 posts)They were told September 30 is deadline to have their two shots plus the two weeks to reach immunity. Two havent done it. The rest decided their job was worth more than their principles!
The two who didnt get vaxxed had bogus pastors give them religious exemption letters.
Decision came down that on September 30, those two people will receive two checks (one their final).
One of them has been such a loud mouth ass and ring leader that my husband also put him on the non eligible for rehire list!
The guy thinks hes gonna get vaxxed on the 30th, take a two week vacation and come back to work! He thinks he calls the shots!
Gonna be a rude awakening. My husband will block his number. Hes cooked himself. He basically jumped into a pot of boiling water. My husband gave this kid a chance. He had no career and no job. My husband trained him as an apprentice and taught him everything he knows. Hes about to journey up. But hes gonna be without his mentor or his job.
Bottom line, customers and employers can and should ask for proof of vaccination. I would not go to any dental office with unvaccinated employees. No eye doctor office. Nothing. Show me the money or lose my business. We all need to do this. Put pressure on employers to force the Covidiots to do what they need to do for everyone else.

(20,573 posts)to these super manipulators. It is just a game to them until they find out they are blocked and have no job. Kudos to your husband.
I was going to go to my friend's office for dental work but not now. I will ask over the phone if everyone is vaxxed where I decide to go.

(790 posts)This is a respository of stories about anti-vaxxers. They all end the same. It's shocking to see them because they were folks in the prime of their lives. I came upon it in a news article about an Alabama couple who refused the vaccine. They both passed away.

As I looked at the photos I had a new revelation - these people left behind families and dependent children. Irresponsible comes to mind.
Thanks for the link.

(20,573 posts)I am waiting to hear if the boss ever addressed this in the days following. My friend is considering new employment because now she can't trust the people she is working with. I do wonder if this is not going on other places as well since we have a strong contingent of anti-vax, mask, distancing. The mayor and three council members are Qanon people.
