San Francisco has issued vaccine directives to city employees who work in prisons and other areas where employees have excessive contact with the public. The order requires these city employees to be vaccinated before September 15, otherwise they will face the risk of unemployment.
However, not everyone receives compulsory vaccination.The San Francisco Deputy Sheriff’s Association says they expect a large number of deputy sheriffs If forced to quit or retire early Get the COVID vaccine.In the statement about it Facebook page On Friday, the organization said that although they “have been promoting COVID safety,” they refused to accept vaccinations or dismissal requests. The post stated that so far, 160-700 deputy sheriffs have refused to be vaccinated and have turned to masks and weekly tests. Many of them have chosen not to be vaccinated for religious reasons.
The problem we are facing now is the strict San Francisco authorization, namely vaccination or termination. If the deputy sheriff is forced to vaccinate, some of them will retire early or look for work elsewhere.
The post went on to point out that in this era of “funding the police,” San Francisco law enforcement can no longer lose any employees.
San Francisco can no longer lose any deputy sheriff or any emergency personnel. If they retire or quit early, this will further affect public safety. We want San Francisco to meet state guidelines that require weekly vaccinations or testing.
If the representative is willing to take the remaining health risks Not vaccinated But still complying with state laws, this seems to be a reasonable compromise. Unfortunately, in today’s power, rationality is in short supply.
