NEWPORT NEWS SHIPBUILDING PARENT COMPANY ANNOUNCES SUSPENSION OF VACCINE DEADLINE:
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Huntington Ingalls Industries, the parent company of Newport News Shipbuilding, has suspended its vaccine deadline as of Tuesday.
The company’s CEO shared the news in a letter to employees saying the company confirmed that, except for specific contracts, their contracts, “do not include a requirement to implement the mandate.”
The deadline suspension goes into effect immediately.
In his letter to employees, Huntington Ingalls CEO Mike Petters said the vaccine mandate’s implementation has been a complex undertaking and thanked staff for their patience.
“We have not wanted to lose a single employee to the virus, or to the effect of the mandate,” Petters said.
Earlier: Ignoring Them Is the Only Way Out.
We can’t eat enough medium-well steaks to get the CDC to stop recommending that we not eat medium-rare, let alone steak tartare. If you ask epidemiologists whether human conversation is safe, their minds call up computer animations of people projectile-vomiting red and blue blocks of “droplets” on each other. If you asked public-health authorities for permission to be born and live a life, there’s no way they could just, you know, approve of that in an unqualified way. You just have to remember that you’ll never be in less danger to yourself or others until dead.
They’re waiting for us — the people. The people began locking down and shutting in and buying masks last February, when public-health officials were telling you that masks were racist and that you should attend Chinese New Year parades to show you weren’t afraid. The people began traveling out more — based on the Google traffic data — before the lockdowns were eased. When does it end? When we end it.
And it’s ending, despite Biden and Fauci’s dreams of endless lockdowns: “On Saturday in New York City you needed a vaccine passport to eat in a restaurant or grab a drink in a bar, work out in a gym, go to a movie, or attend any sporting event. Just four hours to the west nearly 110,000 maskless Penn State Nittany Lion fans who had to provide no health records to anyone to attend the game reveled in their school’s biggest football game in two years, packed as close together as possible all clad in white in one of the great football cathedrals of this country. Watch this video and tell me which America you want to live in, the one where you have freedom and embrace life or the one where you either bow down to the authoritarian whims of a group of leaders who don’t even follow their own rules or have no ability to do anything.”
