Some rumors:
LANL has settled a case brought by the people who got put on unpaid leave for not getting the vaccine. These people have gotten paid out and are now back working at the lab again. I also have some other perks, but I do have the details. This whole thing was a complete disaster for LANL. From what I know, LANL was the only lab in the DOE complex that did this.

That was supposed to be a penalty for not adhering to company policy.
The violators get rewarded?
Obviously you know nothing about the cases or the circumstances. “Reward” isn’t part of the situation. At least one individual had an allergic reaction to the vaccine and was told, by his doctor, not to get a second dose. True to form, TRIAD management fired him in order to demonstrate fealty to the administration. Several others had religious objections etc.
Religious beliefs? Religion is not science and science says vaccines work. Of course, some folks cannot get vaccinated
for health reasons. Don't give lme the line "my religion doesn't allow me to xxxxx?".
There are known and clearly defined religious restrictions such as the Moslem ramadan, Christian abortion etc...
Anything else is just BS.
7:23 -- I agree with you that those ideas are ill-founded. It seems to be that many evangelicals who believe we are in the "end times" have a concept that the covid vaccine is the so-called "Mark of the Beast" described in the Book of Revelation.
The Bible also tells us of course, that there will be false teachings in the end times, and so forth, and to obey government authority in general:

The issue is that LANL was the only DOE lab that did this. At the same time, LANL did not show better outcomes in terms of COVID-19 when compared to the other labs. The blog had many arguments about why it would not have much effect at LANL due to the number of people who already took the vaccine, the average age of workers, the number of people who already got Covid and had natural immunity, and other risk factors. Mandatory vaccination at LANL was always a bad idea and never made any sense once you did some relatively simple math.
"and science says vaccines work."
Yes science says vanncines work , but science and mathematics also work when more complex variables come into play. This is not hard to understand. I find it odd when people keep going about how "science works" yet do not understand how science works or what science can say.
