Kaiser Permanente suspended nearly 5,000 employees who have not yet gotten the COVID-19 vaccine.

It looks like they started at 2% (around 5,000 mental defectives) but that number decreased even more down to 2,000.

It's also interesting that they took the "suspended without pay" route vs. the firing route. I wonder if companies taking that position will be less aggressive about re-filling the positions?
