Chicago may lose up to 50% of their police force due to Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Coronavirus vaccine mandate. Washington Examiner. The head of Chicago's police union, John Catanzara, urged officers not to fill out paperwork proving that they had the vaccine. Catanzara argued that the city did not have the right to that information or the power to mandate the vaccine. He says that if Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot does not back down up to 50% of the Chicago police department could be out of work. But he also said that the no-pay status for the officers could not last more than 30 days due to the utter chaos that having half of the police force not at work.
My Comment:
If this comes to pass, get the hell out of Chicago. Crime is already out of control in that city and having 50% of police not working means there will be utter chaos. If you ever wanted to kill someone and get away with it, go to Chicago after this happens. Everyone else should stay away. Far away.
I really don't know who is going to back down first. This isn't just about the Coronavirus vaccine, it's about how terrible police have been treated in these big American cities. They have no reason to back Lori Lightfoot here given her terrible behavior towards them. Every time there is a shooting, regardless of the facts of the case, Lightfoot takes the side of the criminals, not the cops.
That makes me think that Lightfoot is going to break first. The police have absolutely nothing to lose. They have the Mayor's officer over their knees and even if the unthinkable happens and all these cops get fired, they can easily get jobs in smaller town departments in Illinois and the rest of the Midwest. That's a win-win for them because not only would they be screwing over Lightfoot, they would be getting good jobs in much better conditions than you would see in Chicago.
But on the other hand these insane vaccine mandates have taken an almost religious significance with the left in this country. I personally don't understand it at all. My only guess is that these people are in such a bubble that they think that the Coronavirus can be stopped through vaccination. Given that even states and countries with over 80% vaccination rates are still having major outbreaks of Coronavirus, I don't see how they can still think that but you can never underestimate the ignorance of people. And that's ignoring the large number of side effects and other problems these vaccines have caused.
However, I do think a lot of the leadership in this country knows that we can't vaccinate the way out of the problem and they are pushing these vaccine mandates anyways. The obvious thought is that the medical community has bought them off, but I think it's a lot more simple. They are pushing these mandates as they are a way to punish people they hate. They hate the deplorables so much that they are fine with these people being permanently removed from the economy.
The problem is that doing so is going to cause the country to collapse. Chicago is just one example, the crime rate there is out of control and if half of the police in an already understaffed department it will be a disaster. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. If Biden's vaccine mandate actually happens and isn't instantly defeated by the courts, it will mean that millions of the most productive people in this country will suddenly be out of work.
And keep in mind all of this is happening while the country is already spiraling out of control due to Biden's economic policy. Biden is blaming these problems on the virus but it's really because of his economic policies. Reversing the Trump era tariffs and spending trillions of dollars have caused massive inflation and is now causing huge backups in our ports.
My sincere hope is that the Chicago police union stands firm and starts a major wave of resistance against these mandates. Doing so is probably the only way to save this country as I don't think anyone will be able to convince the unvaccinated to get the vaccines. With that being the case these mandates will cause huge amounts of misery and do nothing to stop the spread of the virus.
