Hubby in Construction union in Illinois. Worked on medical facilities. They tried pushing it and freaked many out into taking it but he refused and encouraged others to refuse and in a week they were back on the job, no jab, masked when arrogant ppl were near. Once he was 12+' in the air alone in a maybe room and the masking police yelled at him to put on his mask. Hubby couldn't hear him he was so much higher up, hehe back and forth, finally hubby says "I wouldn't need it if you weren't in here!" He left. Got kicked off but he's the best so he got hired right away at another job. Never jabbed.

PS he's a drywall finisher (lots of sanding/tiny dust, and painter. They wear respirators to greatly 'reduce' particles much larger than a germ. Also must be fitted and tested by OSHA.

Our last 4 Presidents never served in the military--that says something about how highly the military service is thought of now. We are WEAK within - ripe for the overtaking--only God's MERCY and GRACE and the FAITHFUL FEW who name the name of His only begotten Son have saved our country from a total takeover. I know--"W" was a National Guard inductee--but I don't consider him to be a stalwart military "appreciator". My oldest son was Navy--my first hubby was Army (as was my father--in WW II--the Army Air Corps) and my second husband was an "airedale" in the U S Navy during WW II (he was actually 6 years older than my father - :-).

Your hubby is great! Love it!

An acquaintance whose company contracted w a local hospital had similar experience. They all told the hospital “no way,” and they got to keep working.

One of the times wearing a mask is appropriate.

That is the purpose of respirators and masks...for people who work in industries where breathing in the ‘particulate’ matter, is problematic and injurious to one’s health!

Same at our local Univ. They tried to make the trade union members jab but they walked off so… in the interest of getting Anything done, the U backed off!
