Great find Ilargi.
This is what we have to look forward to. And some wonder why there is workplace violence.
My son and his wife work at the local Kroger. Kroger’s workplace policies are governed by the CDC guidelines (conveniently). Last week, one of the front end workers (who wore a mask religiously and was unvaccinated) called in sick with flu like symptoms and reported she was waiting for Covid test results (don’t know what test). Subsequently, the front end manager and another front end employee also called out sick. Today, the store learned that all 3 had tested positive for CV and when reviewing security tapes to determine who else came into close contact it was discovered that the front end manager and the other employee were unvaccinated AND did not wear masks (ZOMG – Armageddon). The Loss Prevention office of Kroger is now determining whether they will take criminal action against the unvaccinated, unmasked manager and employee for failure to follow store policy.
ps: All 3 are feeling better but are on mandatory 14 leave, again per store policy.
@Archie: horrible. What criminal charge would that be? “Endangering the welfare …” or “Assault ..” or … ? Wth.
People read some stuff and get enraged, then read some other stuff and feel at ease, all due to that pervasive human automatism: confirmation bias.
Q. But why mere symbols on a screen/piece of paper can so easily stir such emotions?
A. Because too many people, for the sake of those elusive feelings of security and belonging, have forfeited a very basic survival skill: to think for themselves.
Riding to work today, don the street from a Baptist and a Ctholic church,about halfway between them, I saw this sign, which was not there last week, turned around, read it, and looked it up when I got home. Both Madamski AND Dr.D might appreciate it.

@Archie: Hubris opportunity for Kroger COVID-pansies.
Initial impression: great stuff, well-written, conforms with much if not most of what I have been slowly learning for the past year or whatever! I have in fact been hoping for a summary like this to appear — even pondered tackling it myself but time simply does not permit.
On the other hand, if it conforms to my knowledge and growing suspicions, then to what extent am I another victim of confirmation bias? But then, the fact of confirmation bias does not ipso facto invalidate anything I read which agrees with my position(s).
Now, how will this essay be argued against, attacked, denounced? I am fairly sure that the cluster of academics on sites like The Conversation will try to bury it under a landslide of statistics, weight of evidence, specialist knowledge, conspiracy theory allegations, and so on. The media will simply ignore it unless and until they can’t, and we know how they deal with impudent authors like Khan.
Khan makes many claims but provides no citations for any of them. To make a strong case in any forum, all claims must be referenced back to a reputable source. Here’s hoping.
@John Day
Good point – thank you.
Due to my own confirmation biases* I tend to forget humans are a gregarious species.
* e.g., lemmings vs. anchorites.
I presume it means they will refer them for criminal charges. In any event, they may be fired for failure to comply with store policy. I’m sure all the authoritarians out there will be fine with that. I’m not, and it will only get worse once the seal of approval is given by the FDA. Who knows how deep their rabbit hole is?
I might add that all restrictions and mandates, like face masks, were lifted as of 31st May by order of the Governor. This included lifting of mask mandates for all school districts in the state. As we here have expected, the Corporations will be used as enforcers once the full FDA approval is issued.
If you have done your due diligence in reading up on this 18 month scam that is ongoing, why would you doubt your conclusions? And Mr Khan had no obligation to cite studies and such. When was the last time Fauci gave references to his bullshit claims? I don’t claim to have the answers to what is going down, but I sure don’t doubt my observations and conclusions for a nano second.
I guess the “crime” would be theft of services, in some convoluted sense. That’s what “Loss Prevention” is there for.
@Archie: well stated response to ezlxa, who presented some valid observations worth considering. Thank you.
I have done my due diligence, believe me!
What I am keen to do is leave no opening to attacks, and one such attack would be to assert that I am merely going along with the conspiracy crowd and ignoring the wise guys.

Thank you thank you, a positive and well put together summation of all our thinking here – could have been written by any one of us especially Illargi
Great find, Raul, thank you!
Re: unvaccinated Kroger folks who will now join the ranks of the naturally immune
To me the most ridiculous part is this: these employees have not endangered anyone. If they all came down with Covid around the same time, they were all probably exposed to someone infectious INSIDE THE KROGER store, around the same time. That likely means that (a) someone with a raging infection shopped at the store, or (b) one of the vaccinated employees was sick with Covid about a week prior and came to work anyhow — assuming that if one is vaccinated, the symptoms can’t be Covid. Personally, I suspect (b). Why? Because it is going to take one person quite a while to fill up the air of a grocery store with enough infectious particles to get 3 people sick, and that sick with Covid person is not likely to spend enough time in the store to infect 3 employees. A vaccinated employee with mild symptoms, on the other hand, IS likely to spend an entire shift in the store. Masks on either the vaccinated or unvaccinated, be they employees or shoppers will make no difference. Since the employees did the responsible thing, calling out sick and getting tested when they developed symptoms, the possibility that they infected anyone during their shift (before showing symptoms) is basically zero!!We could say the sick employees are victims, and that trying to press criminal charges is victim shaming…but, really, it’s just a virus and if the employees have no comorbidities, probably not a big deal, so what’s the point? If they lose their jobs over this they should file for wrongful termination and at least get unemployment benefits.
very good article; get the whole truth-telling story of pandemic mismanagement by reading Pandemic Blunder:
Bold New Book PANDEMIC BLUNDER – FAUCI AND PUBLIC HEALTH BLOCKED EARLY HOME COVID TREATMENT by Joel S. Hirschhorn
A huge amount of data and information not covered by mainstream media are in Pandemic Blunder that tells the story of how over 500,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 unnecessarily because the government has blocked early home/outpatient treatment and prevention. With over 600,000 COVID American deaths, learning about safe and effective treatment is more important than ever.
About the Book:Pandemic Blunder contains considerable medical information and data to support a number of proven safe, cheap generic medicines and protocols that knock out the coronavirus when given early. Read about the pioneering, courageous doctors who have been using innovative approaches to prevent their COVID patients from needing hospital care and facing death. The book includes many expert opinions and Real World Evidence from doctors that show 70 to 80 percent of COVID deaths could have been prevented—and still can be. Don’t be victimized by disinformation and propaganda. Learn how corrupt forces are aiming to make billions of dollars from expensive medicines and vaccines, and how hundreds of thousands of deaths could have—and should have—been prevented! Detailed information is given to help people protect their lives by using simple prevention protocols, an alternative to vaccines.
