What exactly have vax mandates accomplished?

On a side note, deaths are up 50 percent and life insurance claims are very busy. Surprise! It's not covid. But we can let this wave of people pass and pretend policy had nothing to do with it.

Lacking healthcare, lots of cancer. Our gov brewed up a nice drug where the side effects are worse than the cure. It's as if the covid thumpers were actually just pro more deaths.

I am not an expert in reading comprehension, but I think the OP just asked if WJ dropped the vax mandate for hiring, not you probably expert opinion about the accomplishments of vax mandates
