One thought on “Nearing Monday vaccine deadline, thousands of federal workers seek exemptions

  1. It is so sad to see so much push back against vaccines and vaccine mandates. It still amazes me as of just two weeks ago we had 30 people a day in Indiana alone dying from COVID when almost all of that could have been prevented.

    It turns out that toxic partisan politics can kill you with even Governor Holcomb doing his part to pile the bodies on.
