At which point you will be dismissed if you have not found and secured a remote position within the company. That part of the policy has not changed. Until they announce it has we should assume they are intending to follow though.
"just get vaccinated and not worry about getting fired"
The word 'just' must be one of the most heavily used words of the last 18 months. The problem is that 'just' is the start of a slippery slope. Governments and organisations rarely withdraw authoritarian diktats, once we've allowed them in.
The vaccine has an overwhelming amount of data showing it's effective, and very little showing side effects. At some point it's a national responsibility to get it. If you don't, then there's nothing that says you should have a job at faang.

I see studies exploring long term/subtle effects of COVID, along with controls that were not infected. I don't see a lot of "vaccinated but not infected" and "vaccinated and infected" groups in these studies. I'd be far more convinced if those studies were done.
So effective that we're going back to mask mandates, talking feverishly about boosters, etc. And this is for already vaccinated individuals. Can't blame the boogeyman "anti-vaxxers" for increases in cases and hospitalizations in countries where Pfizer is readily admitting that the "immunity" granted by their product is "waning":
Are we ready to have an adult conversation about mRNA gene therapy and how it differs from traditional vaccines? We're up to 3 shots a year already. Typical vaccines protect the individual for the rest of their life.
Of course. I've seen that headline in plenty of places. But as soon as you scroll past the headline you see:
"However, the two-dose vaccine still works very well in preventing people from getting seriously sick, demonstrating 88% effectiveness against hospitalization and 91% effectiveness against severe illness, according to the Israeli data published Thursday."
Great job! Small nitpick that's bothering me: The 'Sign up' & 'Download' text inside the bottom buttons is not vertically centered. (This is on Chrome 27.0.1453.110)
This is a non-story. This occurred in Botswana, where cars drive on the left side of the road, so the donkey is in front of the car. You can also see the donkey standing by the side of the road if you move slightly further along.
I'm a big fan of https://www.google.com/flights/explorer, since it gives me an immediate picture of how far in advance I should book to get the lowest prices.
I find it interesting that it basically has the same function as Kayak Explore: http://kayak.com/explore - but with a completely different presentation.
