Re: A job opening if you are interested (and qualified)

COVID jab requirements are loyalty oaths used for weeding out dissenters, pure and simple.

If you want to be part of the Biden campaign or any Right Think brigade, you must say, believe, and do certain things, or you are completely unwelcome. Black Lives Matter / Reparations Now!, Trans Rights are Human Rights, I Stand Wit Ukraine, pronouns (in/parentheses) in your email signature, and up-to-date on jabs to prove that you F*+#ing Love Science!

There is literally no possible rational, health-based justification for this requirement. And yet, it totally makes sense that it's there. If I recall my sociology terms correctly, it's the difference between a manifest function (what something purports to do) and a latent function (what it really does). The latent function is often, as in this case, the more important to of the two.
