Yes, i would expect a lot of announcements this week.

Looks like NYC Public Schools are going to mandate all staff be vaccinated (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/23/nyregion/nyc-schools-empl...). I would expect most hospitals/health care organizations to pretty quickly mandate it as well.

There is very little incentive for a large organization to take on the added costs of allowing a large percent of their staff/members to remain unvaccinated now.

And despite all the stories/articles about the desperate, angry anti-vax people, they are really just a small minority who are good at being noisy, and the rest of us are becoming increasingly impatient with them.

Where I live, 50% are unvaccinated. That's not a small minority.

The "small minority" is stated in the parent comment to be the "desperate, angry anti-vax people". Some of those are in the 50%, but quite a few are "meh, whatever" apathy or mildly anti-vax there too.

I work from home in the middle of nowhere and I've had the real deal. It might seem small to someone who already has made their decision but its certainly some small injustice to have people vaccinated against their will for no apparently good reason. Now, consider how I feel about my children.

Maybe you are not talking about "me" but I guess I couldn't tell from your comment.
