    You're just distracting from the original point. People aren't striking because mandates. You're undermining the labor movement and deflecting from the real cause that is workplace safety and wages.

      "Distracting?"

      People are striking because of conditions, which include bad governance & bad corporate policy... largely around how inconsistent the handling of the pandemic has been

      why are you separating out ultrapartisan reductionism here? both parties did horribly & New York City still has the worst death rates since the pandemic started

            You're using vague terms and moving the goal posts all over the place. The vaccine mandates are not why people are striking. FULL STOP.

              people are definitely protesting over mandates globally, the labor disputes are largely to do with worsening conditions around changes implemented or policies inadequately implemented since the pandemic started

                ffs we already addressed this. There are people protesting yes. But protest =/= strike.

                There are hundreds of thousands of people striking right now for reasons that are specific and have zero relation to vaccine mandates.

                You are trying to use their struggle to push some anti vaxx shit and you're acting super sus about it.

                    No you're cherry picking. The overwhelming majority of strikes have nothing to do with vaccines. Why is this the hill you are willing to die on?
