He's young, so he'll probably be fine. Un-vaccinated employees are required to be tested weekly now in our onsite clinic, and mask policies are being strictly enforced again. Our company's in house health clinic was also administering the vaccine. It was convenient, easy, and free.
I just don't understand it. In every other way he's an exceptional worker. He's motivated, smart and super nice.
But if you bring up Covid with him, he just starts parroting all of the conspiracy BS... and freedumb.
