For what it's worth, one place where I work part-time (and from which I am hopefully transitioning out soon, but not just yet) went from attempting vaccine mandates with no exceptions to accepting masks and negative weekly tests in lieu of experimental injections. Then they further amended the rules and decided that everyone has to wear a mask regardless of vaccine status, so you don't really know who submitted proof of vaccine and who submits a weekly test.
What changed? I'm not certain, but I happen to know that several employees who pushed back (basically a "sorry, not getting it, am I fired?") happened to be African American. The people at the top gung-ho for the vaccines were all white. I suspect that someone might have figured out that having several black people quit because of rules imposed by white people, or having black employees disproportionately sporting muzzles, all in a very "woke" sector, might not have looked good.
