From Seattle station KING:
292 Seattle police officers have not shown proof of COVID-19 vaccine by department deadline
The Seattle Police Department (SPD) said 292 sworn officers have not shown proof of their COVID-19 vaccination status as of Oct. 6, one day after the department's deadline. The numbers show an improvement from 354 officers not showing proof on Oct. 5.
In August, the city of Seattle adopted Gov. Jay Inslee’s mandate that state employees and health care workers be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18 or be fired. There is not a COVID-19 testing option, but employees can apply for religious or medical exemptions.
A bit more:
The 292 officers that have not submitted proof of their vaccination status represent about 27% of SPD's sworn officers. The department said 782 officers have shown vaccination proof.
The department could be facing a significant staffing challenge soon.
No shit Sherlock... I wonder when the pushback will start in Seattle. Just say No. My body, my choice.
It will be interesting to look at the crime deaths v/s the real COVID deaths (the ones without a co-morbidity)
