California requires state employees and health workers to show proof of COVID vaccination

California has become the first state to require all state employees and health care workers to show proof of vaccination — or undergo at least weekly testing if they have not gotten the shots — as new coronavirus cases driven by the highly infectious delta variant skyrocket.
Under the new guidance Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday in Oakland, state workers must either show proof of vaccination or undergo regular testing and wear a mask indoors.
“Too many people have chosen to live with this virus,” Newsom said. “We’re at a point in this pandemic where an individual’s choice not to get vaccinated is now impacting the rest of us in a profound and devastating and deadly way.”
As delta surges, Bay Area reaches realization that COVID 'will be with us chronically'

For several days in late spring, San Francisco General Hospital had no COVID-19 patients, and the staff rejoiced.
From the intensive care floors no longer near-overflowing with patients to the emergency department where doctors and nurses had worried for more than a year that anyone who showed up could be infected, the relief was palpable, said Dr. Robert Rodriguez, an emergency physician at San Francisco General and a professor at UCSF.
Then California reopened and dropped almost all pandemic safeguards, and the highly contagious delta variant arrived. Few had believed the pandemic was over, of course. But it’s discouraging to be bracing for yet another surge, Rodriguez said, and living again under a cloud of anxious anticipation of just how bad things will get.
“Cases definitely are increasing, and there is a sort of — I would call it a triggering,” Rodriguez said of a staff that’s already exhausted and traumatized from the long pandemic.
As of Friday, eight people were hospitalized with COVID at San Francisco General, including three in intensive care; all were not vaccinated. And Rodriguez can’t help wondering, “Is this going to accelerate? Is this going to fade? Or are we just going to continue at this rate, this smoldering rate, indefinitely?”
Those are questions that extend far beyond San Francisco General’s emergency room. Across a region with some of the highest vaccination rates in the world, there’s a collective sense of dread, confusion, frustration and despondency. And people are asking: How can this be happening again?
.
The hope is that all the more restrictive states realize this sooner rather than later: that this virus is endemic/seasonal ("chronic"), and can never be "stopped".
Thankfully the IFR is ~0.2 and there are myriad treatment options available.
Govts need to dispense with the sheer lunacy and discard mandates.
Follow the science: ‘Deadly’ Delta variant registers a 99.9+% recovery rate
You wouldn’t know it by following the corporate press and the usual suspects who traffic in endless amounts of COVID Mania fear mongering, but the actual data on the much hyped Delta variant (sometimes referred to as the Indian variant) that you keep hearing about is hardly the “deadly” virus that it’s being hyped up as.
Don’t take it from me. Here’s the data straight from the U.K. government, which is tracking this mutation as sporting a case fatality rate of 0.1%.
Now, a case fatality rate (CFR) is many times higher than the actual death rate (infection fatality rate, or IFR), because the vast majority of COVID-19 cases go undetected. Through my previous reporting, I’ve found that the World Health Organization runs its numbers based on the estimate that 1 in 20 cases are detected, while the CDC bases its estimates on a 1 in 10 ratio.
In plain english, this means that based on CDC and WHO guidelines, the Delta variant’s death rate is actually significantly lower than the 0.1% number that appears in the U.K. government docs.
@EricTopol
There are many statements asserting that the Delta variant is more deadly than Alpha. There are no data to back that up
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
"The crude case fatality rate remains lower for Delta than other variants at present" @PHE_uk /1
Additionally, there is still the “dying from COVID” versus “dying with COVID” problem in this calculation. In places like the U.K., any death that occurs within 28 days of a positive COVID test is labeled as a COVID death. They don’t conclude if a positive test has actually contributed to that death in any meaningful way.
The Delta variant weighs in at such a low, inconsequential death rate that it becoming the dominant strain (with an actual death rate registering multiple times under that of a seasonal Flu) should actually be celebrated as a relief for humanity, yet the people who want to rule over us like power drunk despots would not benefit from such an admission. Using the word “deadly” to describe this mutation is simply total propaganda, and a complete assault on our language.

If you are basing this off the latest UK data available, then it was a CFR of 0.2%
So the IFR would be significantly less than that.

You're right - it appears to be significantly less. I've been using 0.2 IFR as many that have been following 'official' storylines would immediately reject anything lower. Not that it matters -- there is an outright refusal at this point to consider any positions that differ from govt/related proclamations.

LOL. How about providing us with data that show that the overall health outcomes of vaccinated populations is better than the overall health outcomes of vaccinated populations? Why is that too much to ask before mandating an experimental gene therapy?

Journalist Harry Vox comments on pandemic scenario plans put forth by just one of the many NWO players, Rockefeller Foundation, from their own documentation. Filmed in 2014, it's valid today as we face the current crisis in 2020.

Giuseppe De Donno, an Italian Dr. and professor was found dead by apparent suicide yesterday.
He saved many COVID patients in desperate conditions with hyperimmune plasma therapy at the onset of the pandemic. This inexpensive and highly effective treatment was not welcome by the "vaccine" pushers on the horizon, so they set out to ruin his life. They succeeded, and perhaps doomed us all in doing so. RIP #DeDonno
