America’s corporate giants began ratcheting up the pressure on unvaccinated employees, aiming to turn the tide against a resurgent virus that threatens the economic recovery.

Walmart Inc., the largest private employer in the U.S., is requiring headquarters and regional staff to be vaccinated by Oct. 4, instituting a policy that may set a standard for corporate America as the highly contagious delta variant continues to spread. Walt Disney Co. issued a similar mandate of its own.

“The pandemic is not over, and the delta variant has led to an increase in infection rates across much of the U.S.,” Walmart Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillon said in a memo Friday. “We have made the decision to require all campus office associates and all market, regional and divisional associates who work in multiple facilities to be vaccinated by Oct. 4, unless they have an approved exception.”

Disney, the world’s largest entertainment company, will require all salaried and nonunion hourly employees in the U.S. working in person at any of its sites to be fully vaccinated, along with all new hires. It’s giving affected staffers 60 days to comply and making certain limited exceptions.

The Burbank, California-based company has also begun talks with unions about a vaccine mandate for employees under collective bargaining agreements, according to an emailed statement. Disney finished fiscal 2020 with a staff of about 203,000 worldwide.

Good.

As they should.

The shot should be mandatory for everyone who isn’t medically exempt. We are just pussies about everything because we have all been taught to believe that our personal freedoms are more important than the greater good.
