I Would Not Have Picked Delta to Be the First to Fight the Mandate

Delta Airlines Ditches Vaccine Mandate, First Airline To Catch The Freedom Flu (lifezette.com)

Ed Bastian, the CEO of Delta Airlines, has just announced that the company is ditching its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for employees due to the “divisiveness” of its nature.

Bastian told Fox Business that over 90% of the company is vaccinated, and that number is expected to rise by 5% in the next month with the mandate gone.

That’s great.

There’s a rather significant caveat, though.

Bastian went on to say that there will need to be religious and medical accommodations made for those who wish to remain unvaccinated while avoiding having to threaten employment status.

Ah. So the mandate allows for that.

So, they’re not really ditching the mandate after all.

Got it.
