We all know that the restaurant business is suffering greatly from restrictions brought on by the COVID pandemic. But some owners are not helping themselves. This restaurant owner is making things difficult for his staff. Apparently, everything is either his way or the highway.

A New York City waitress was fired after she expressed hesitation about taking the COVID-19 vaccine without knowing the effects it might have on women who are trying to get pregnant.

According to a report from the New York Post, management at Brooklyn restaurant Red Hook Tavern dismissed 34-year-old Bonnie Jacobson after she refused to get the vaccine "immediately” under her boss’s mandatory orders because she wanted to see more research about its compatibility with fertility.

"The way I see it, getting the vaccine is for me. It protects me. If I am not getting it, it’s my choice, and I’d only be hurting myself,” she said, a view that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supports for expectant mothers. The CDC also says currently that the COVID vaccine is "unlikely to pose a risk for pregnant people.”

Frankly, I'm with her. The CDC hasn't turned out to be the most trustworthy outfit.

Jacobson added that while she "fully supports” people getting vaccinated, she chose "not to get the vaccine because there just isn’t enough data or research at this point on its effects on fertility.”

Bingo! There's a lot we don't know about the vaccines yet. And don't bother to ask Dr. Fauci about them.

Despite the restaurant’s policy providing vaccine exemptions to people whose "personal health or disability prohibits you from obtaining this vaccination,” Jacobson was still booted to the curb after working a 13-hour shift, in a "shocking” and "hurtful” decision by her employers, considering her commitment to working throughout the pandemic.

I greatly hope this lady finds another job, with a more caring and compassionate boss, soon!
