Their lawyers know what the future holds.

I'm vaccinated and understand it's a risk of using an experimental drug and made the choice without coercion. I'm proud of all those who are refusing to be bullied and applaud Intel for being respectful and intelligent in their decision. I hope Southwest and others wake up soon because I would rather drive than fly with an airline or company that supports the overreach of our arrogant overlords.

Finally a company with (excuse my wording) balls. This along with the airline industry employees, I want to say thank you. I'm retired, will not get jab - I can only give my support at the polls and donations. It is so sad to see what is happening to this wonderful country and the people. These radicals are hateful, stupid and insane.

I’m about to lose my job in a law firm (not a lawyer) because I won’t get the jab. I’m in technology and a full time remote employee. None of this makes sense. I applaud Intel for not furthering this employment apartheid

They won't have any trouble with recruiting.

Brandon isn't going to like this.

Look for DOJ or FTC or EPA or some other alphabet soup agency to "coincidentally" launch an investigation into Intel sometime soon.

Sanity peeks over the barbed wire fence of propaganda.

Intel is under pressure from AMD and maybe Nvidia. They can't afford to provoke their very expensive, very employable workers. Their workers are also unusually clever and likely to have a sober assessment of the true risk from the virus.

This is because Pat Gelsinger is CEO. A self identified believing Christian he is the best CEO I have ever had the opportunity to work under.

Worked there for 19years - EXTREMELY DATA DRIVEN...Also, I think the legal ramifications on companies forcing the mandates has been outed....their lawyers are not stupid and they've always been a big lawsuit target

I’ll repeat this - it’s the field workers, try to mandate this on utility line crews in red states before a winter ice storm or hurricane (and the contractors that they all use because most utilities have 50% or more of their work done by contractors) and watch the power be off for a month in some places. Railroads the same, will cripple the country

Alex, you are doing us such a great service! Thank you. I just heard Ben Shapiro also say that. He said “Alex is doing the best reporting in America-better than all the media outlets combined!”

I am about to lose my job for refusing to attest my vax status. This information is SO helpful! THANK YOU! Are there ANY OTHER COMPANIES that are not requiring attestation? Let's create that list for all the people out there who are about to be laid off. THANK YOU!

This gives me a certain amount of hope... (Hope has been in short supply lately as elected officials and public health overlords trip over themselves as they race to impose mandates and spread fear.)

Reason might be taking hold. Corporations need to take the lead.

We seem to be down to deciding which is more incredible and amazing, the collective insanity, or the islands of sanity remaining.

Point 8.4 is amazing.

At the Fortune 500 tech company I work at we recently had an org-wide meeting where they presented the results of a survey asking if people would work remotely more often going forward and, if so, why.

One of the top reasons given for wanting to work remotely was "fear of being around the unvaccinated". Which is doubly insane because we have a vaccination requirement for on-site work.

These people are beyond the bend. I don't know if there's a recovery protocol for them, at this point.

This is great news. I'm an engineer, and there are Intel facilities where I live. So, I have a place to go if my company enforces a mandate. However, my company said a vaccination status survey would be sent to each employee Monday, but so far, nothing has arrived. Maybe they witnessed what's happening with Southwest.

How could they put so many people AT RISK?! They aren't "Following the Science."

Are they hiring? Asking for a friend.

Intel is about to be flooded with a lot of high-quality, non-neurotic, potential hires.

Intel's CEO, Pat Gelsinger, is a very devout Christian. Definitely not part of the secular intelligentsia of Silicon Valley. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Expand full comment

Yes! Every company should be this way. It really has created a hostile work environment for me, and no doubt countless others as well. The vaccinated people actually asked if they could work from home to protect themselves from the unvaccinated...what?? And also suggested that the unvaccinated/impure should pay more for health insurance premiums and also pay for weekly testing if that becomes forced. Two different groups of people, the upper class and the impure.

Same at Home Depot. Don't ask, don't tell. They don't care and don't want to know. Anyone asks, they're in big trouble.

The cowardly idiots like the moron at the Coca-Cola company, Universities, Hospitals and others that are sacrificing there employees will face such a backlash as more and more people wake up to the lies and crimes against humanity fomented by the paid hacks at the CDC, NIH, FDA, WHO and the Euro equivalents. The globalists at Gates Foundation, Rockefeller foundation, Soros and big Pharma who have infiltrated and funded these vile activities at these agencies must face swift and appropriate justice for the death, suffering and chaos they have caused by their psychopathic depopulation agenda. These crimes will be revealed to be far worse than the atrocities committed by Stalin, Chairman Mao and Hitler.

I’m starting to think that Emperor Biden has no clothes and OSHA may never issue a rule. Even his EO on contractors doesn’t require the vaccine but companies are acting if it does.

Expand full comment

My employer's client, one of those tech companies who loves censoring people, will start the vaccine mandate if you want to go to the campus. Note, they also will apply mandatory return to office soon. so basically they mandate their employee to go to work and get vaccinated or have weekly testing. I won't comply for this silly unscientific rules. so I'm going to apply for a job where the management is rational. i won't even bother to sue them. They can have all like-minded people hurdling in their cubicles together. I know i'm replaceable. My health is more important than just a job.

Tucker showed a clip last night of Joe going to whisper mode to say Fox News requires vax, which Fox employee Tucker assured us is (yet another) lie. As people figure out it doesn't work for most people, especially those who need it most, it will go away.

Just shared this with my son in Chicago who is so worried about losing his job. He’s 28 and got a great job 9 months ago. I told him to hold his ground because he does NOT or need this shot. Thank you Alex B. for your tireless attention to this subject!

Like WWII hiring was tough

Couldn't offer more money so they offered health insurance. Much longer story, but I think Intel is being crafty and no doubt will attract the brightest minds out there. You know the ones that didn't participate as lab rats and passed the IQ test of vaccines.

Top-Management actually consulted with the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), with whom properly informed him of several factors: 1) if we loose any percentage of employees, this organization could suffer operational, financial, safety & reputational damage for starters, and 2) there's a good chance of lawsuits that could lead to unnecessary liability exposure, and 3) judging by our workforce pipeline and knowing the steep requirements (KSA) we seek in our workforce or human capital assets, we cannot expect to replace staff, especially key engineering staff, and 4) the security office is very worried about potential unknown threat vectors that span insider, workplace violence, malicious intent, trade-secret & IP loss and any number of threats unseen from angry employees.

Interesting words from Southwest CEO Gary Kelly putting the blame for the vaccine mandate on Biden... inferring that it is not something that Southwest management would otherwise support.

What is “gain of function”?

“Gain-of-function” is the euphemism for biological research aimed at increasing the virulence and lethality of pathogens and viruses. GoF research is government funded; its focus is on enhancing the pathogens’ ability to infect different species and to increase their deadly impact as airborne pathogens and viruses. Ostensibly, GoF research is conducted for biodefense purposes. These experiments, however, are extremely dangerous. Those deadly science-enhanced pathogens can, and do escape into the community where they infect and kill people. What’s more, this line of research can be used for biological warfare.“

Why aren’t Doctors and the Science and Medical industry speaking out loudly about what Fauci and Gang doing to the World as it has become obvious. These man made, often deadly, protein injections were never meant to destroy the virus, as the human immune system does. These injections were made to turn the world population into a large “gain of function” laboratory, and allow the virus to continue to evolve into a more deadly variant and reduce world population. Isn’t it obvious by now, by requiring multiple injections that are not fully effective , they are only making a more deadly variant of the COVID virus evolve and turn the injected that live through it into being carriers. ….which I am beginning to believe was always the plan.

Fauci and Gates are well aware of the fact these spike protein are only making the virus more deadly….they use the fact continually as part of the fear tactics game…..”more masks, more lock downs, more deaths and a more deadly COVID variant is just around the corner.” They forget to add….the spike protein injections are causing it!

Anyone that allows themselves to be injected with this crap is nuts…at best your immune system fights back and blocks it’s effects….at worst you die or become a “typhoid Mary” carrier.

As by NY friends would say…..”think about it”

Alex:

While they are better than most places for non-traveling employees, you need to read Section 5.

If you travel for Intel, especially if you are customer-facing, you must be vaccinated. No choice.

They made this policy long before countries were requiring the vax for entry. They had an email go out that stated that they wanted their employees to “represent their (Intel’s) values” when visiting customer, partner, and client sites.

You all are amazing. Love reading through these comments and seeing people supporting freedom.

I am in the airline industry and support the right to choose for myself as everyone before me has for this shot. If you are interested, here is a link for an email form to be sent in to some higher ups at SWA, including Gary Kelly, to take away this mandate that threatens thousand of employee’s jobs and livelihoods. Feel free to send one if you so please! We appreciate any and all support! Thank you all so much.❤️

I work at a large med device company. Software engineer, office job. So far they haven't made it mandatory, but they have signaled they will follow the ETS when and if it comes, and will not accept prior infection as a substitute. It's not even clear if they'll give us the option to be tested weekly. Unvaccinated are no longer welcome in the office, and they need approval from high up the chain for any business travel. Also, they forced everyone to provide their status. I used to work at Intel. I should probably be reaching out to my old boss...

i used to work as a field service engineer at an intel plant. they had pretty demanding/weird policies (3 second rule for making eye contact with others, railing police to make sure you used the railing to when on stairs) but they were usually aimed at making the workplace safe. they are, if nothing else, science driven so i am not at all surprised by this. also, their policies were worldwide so i am sure their facility heads got together and determined that the best way to continue making a profit was to not require the jab...

This is encouraging. A company actually following something as “trivial” as evidence. Spectacular!
