Tomorrow, @POTUS heads to Chicago with a clear message: vaccine requirements work. Across the country, we’re seeing strong actions across industries for measures that keep workers safe from COVID-19. On this thread, I will outline just how effective these measures have been.
At Henry Ford Health System in Detroit went from 68% vaccinated to 98% of its workforce vaccinated thanks to a vaccine requirement.
At United Airlines, the vaccination rate among employees has gone from 59% to 98% in two months.
The Department of Defense went from 76% to 94% of active duty troops with at least one shot in a month.
More than 95% of students at colleges and universities like Rutgers, University of Michigan, Virginia Tech, and University of Vermont are fully vaccinated.
Economists assert requirements will help our labor markets. Goldman Sachs estimates that the new requirements will boost the number of vaccinated individuals by 12 million people, and create a net positive impact on employment.
And, the American people are widely supportive of these measures. A recent Fox News poll showed a strong majority were in support of these vaccine requirements.
Later on, I will share more details about the company @POTUS will be visiting in Chicago.
