Google CEO Sundar Pichai has revealed new policy that will require all employees working on company campuses to be vaccinated against COVID-19, making it the first Big Tech company to announce such a mandate.
Article by Li Hai from our partners at The Epoch Times.
“Getting vaccinated is one of the most important ways to keep ourselves and our communities healthy in the months ahead,” Pichai wrote in a letter sent to Google employees on Wednesday morning.
“Anyone coming to work on our campuses will need to be vaccinated,” Pichai continued.
Pichai said Google would first roll out this policy within weeks in the U.S. and then expand it to other regions in the coming months. The implementation would vary depending on local conditions and regulations.
Exceptions would be for “medical or other protected reasons,” Pichai added.
Pichai also announced that Google would delay its return-to-work schedule by extending its global voluntary work-from-home policy through Oct. 18.
A week ago, Apple was reported to delay its return to office schedule from September to October. Apple hasn’t announced if its employees need to be vaccinated to get back to the office.
Finance firm Morgan Stanley has banned unvaccinated employees or guests from entering its metro New York City offices. Investment giant BlackRock has adopted a similar COVID-19 vaccine policy.
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has repeatedly warned that it believes limited vaccination coverage is “allowing for the emergence and rapid spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant,” which has seen increased cases and deaths, with the variant accounting for over 80 percent of new cases.
Government agencies, and some state and local governments have started mandating COVID-19 vaccines or regular testing following the CDC’s assertion.
On Monday, the Department of Veterans Affairs declared a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers, becoming the first major federal agency to implement such a mandate.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio declared on the same day that all city workers would have to either be vaccinated or tested weekly. California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a similar measure hours later.
The Department of Justice concluded in an opinion on Tuesday that federal law doesn’t prohibit public agencies and private businesses from requiring CCP virus vaccines, even while the vaccines are under the Food and Drug Administration’s emergency use authorization.
A religious freedom group has pledged they will challenge the agency’s vaccine mandate.
On Wednesday morning, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo also said that he would mandate that all state employees either get vaccinated or regularly tested.
American Patriots Uniting to Fight Tyranny from, Well, Everywhere
We’re building a new conservative news network. Based on responses from fellow patriots, we’re heading in the right direction.
It may be hard to believe based on what we’re seeing around the nation today, but there are many reasons to be hopeful. First and foremost, the false narrative that most of America hates traditional values or the foundations of our nation are finally being proven false. Despite the best efforts of globalists and Neo-Marxists, patriotic Americans are starting to unify in droves. Meanwhile, Joe Biden can barely muster a half-filled auditorium to deliver his message to the scant few watching CNN and the paid shills in the “crowd.”
The “silent majority” that drove Donald Trump to victory in 2016 and 2020 (yes, he won by a landslide but was robbed along with the American people) is finally starting to realize we cannot stay silent any longer. We used to win with our votes, but those are being stolen. We used to win with truth, but the radical left and their agents in mainstream media, Big Tech, and academia are building a post-truth society to drown out reality. Today, we are waking up to the realization that only through direct action and fearlessly spreading the truth can we overcome the nefarious forces working against us.
We are proud to be working our way up to the tip of the conservative media spear. Our network is growing. We’re establishing strong partnerships with like-minded news outlets and courageous journalists. Even as Big Tech suppresses us, the honest messages they’re trying to quash are finding their way to the eyes and ears of patriots across the nation. With the help of new content partners like The Epoch Times and The Liberty Daily, we’re starting to see a real impact.
Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
Some of our content is spread across all of these sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $2200-$7800 per month. May, 2021, for example, was amazing and we almost broke even. June, revenue was sluggish at best and we had to make up a big difference out of our pockets. But we’re not just trying to get out of the red. If and when we start getting enough contributions to expand, we will do just that. Very few get into journalism to try to get rich and we’re definitely not among those who do. Our success is driven by spreading the truth, profitable or not.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Time is short. As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
