Questions are now being raised about Governor Jay Inslee’s reasoning for lifting the COVID booster requirement for state employees, including ferry workers and state troopers. FOX13

Inslee dropped the booster requirement in on Aug. 5, but said all state employees must still be fully vaccinated with the two-shot regimen of Pfizer or Moderna, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

"Widespread vaccination is the primary means we have as a state to protect everyone," both directives read. The new language reads, "I direct [the Office of Financial Management] to pursue options to incentivize all state executive and small cabinet agency employees to remain fully vaccinated with the most up-to-date vaccination, including any additional doses or boosters, as recommended by the CDC."

She believes Inslee is feeling political pressure from labor unions, who have been using vaccinations as a bargaining issue.

Um, I’m he vaccine shouldn’t be required period.

Can confirm union sent out surveys to members and overwhelmingly they said NO to boosters. Contrary to the initial vax mandate where the union was fully on board for whatever reason…hmmm

He has no reasoning capacity. He rules by fear and emotion.

Contract negotiations going on. Jay will capitulate. The union will claim victory. But the union won’t tell us why they got down on their knees in front of Sleepy Joe for the mandates.

I lost my job because of this and now we're just supposed to forget it?

Inslee is a 🤡

GovInslee jay, could this possibly be based on the fact that the Captain of the Vashon ferry was sound asleep at the wheel after working multiple shifts to cover for those Captains that were fired, by you?.....hmmm

You think Emergency Powers for 893 days Inslee is going to backtrack by choice? Duh, his union supporters threatened to no longer support him, and/or sue the state.

Inslee should be put in prison and all his assets be taken and given to state workers for being forced out of jobs!

Welp, let's start with the fact that they don't work.

Political from start. But now there is *zero* science to back him. He's purged his agencies from anyone who would question him. You have to have the vax to start or maintain employment & taxpayers will be gifting them $$ to get boosters even though vaxxed still get & spread it.
