CNN president Jeff Zucker, in a memo to staff, announced that three employees who went into the office unvaccinated have been fired.
In the memo, first obtained by the New York Times, Zucker explained that the firing had been the result of the network’s ‘zero-tolerance policy’ toward unvaccinated employees.
“In the past week, we have been made aware of three employees who were coming to the office unvaccinated,” he announced. “All three have been terminated.”
With the Delta variant potentially fuelling the start of a fourth wave of COVID-19 in Canada, the question remains how the provincial and federal governments will handle dealing with vaccinated and unvaccinated Canadians.
Several provinces have already issued some form of vaccine passport or certificate, while others are waiting for a federal vaccine passport, and still other provinces have ruled out the idea entirely.
In a letter Tuesday to airport managers across the country Federal Aviation Administration chief Steve Dickson campaigned for an end of “to go” alcohol sales.
NDP leader said Wednesday she considered it a charter right to refuse shot, then said she was wrong Thursday.
At some point, life has to go on. Focusing all our attention on one thing is completely counterproductive, and unsustainable.

British Columbia’s top health officials have left the door open to the possibility of “vaccine passports” amid surging new COVID-19 cases.
The Toronto Sun reports most of the 435 flights (133) arrived from the U.S., with Los Angeles leading by Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Denver and Chicago.
Amsterdam topped the infection rate for overseas planes at 31, but double-digit numbers were from Paris, Istanbul, Frankfurt, Mexico City, and London.
The bulk of the infected passengers landed in Toronto and Montreal.
While commenting on the authoritarian nature of placing unvaccinated Americans on a no-fly list, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) described the Biden administration’s nearly open borders policy as “hypocrisy” because officials are taking kids at the border, who may have COVID, and “putting them all over the United States, as if they’re wishing to seed the country with the new [COVID] variant.”
For families questioning how their loved ones perished in the pandemic, provincial medical experts offer few answers – and critics say that hampers efforts to hold providers accountable.
Another bombshell announcement coming out of the Biden administration.
This time he’s going after our active-duty forces in the U.S. military, forcing them to take the Covid vaccine drug via a shot in the arm.
The plural of “anecdote” is not “data” but the episode described here is noteworthy for more than one reason, starting with the fact that the author, Allan Massie, is an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins. He studies infection for a living, so he knows what it means when a group of supposedly immune people discover that they’re not as immune as they thought.
Quebec Premier François Legault says his government will impose a vaccine passport system following a recent rise in COVID-19 infections.
Legault says Health Minister Christian Dubé will announce details in the coming days about how the system will work and when it will begin.
This comes as the province reported 305 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday as Quebec continues to see a daily surge in infections.

Tracing the Chinese regime’s attempts to control the scientific discourse and push policy
From the World Health Organization’s early China-friendly messaging on the virus outbreak to influential papers dismissing the theory that the virus originated in a laboratory, Beijing’s sway over scientific discussions has come under increasing scrutiny during the pandemic. Some observers are also pointing out the communist regime’s footprint in the push for one side of the debate on the science and policy of lockdowns, which have had significant economic ramifications in the West.
