 The Kroger-hired morons(R) who are unvaxxed no longer get paid time off if/when they get infected, AND their health insurance will cost more.

Yahoo, why should we consumers pay more to protect the idiots(R) who won’t protect themselves?

Kroger — the national supermarket operator, parent company of King Soopers and City Market, and one of the nation’s largest retailers — has restructured its COVID-19 benefits for unvaccinated employees and will charge some them if they remain unprotected, a spokeswoman for the company confirmed Wednesday.

Last year, before coronavirus vaccines were available, the company began offering two weeks of paid time off to employees who contracted COVID-19.

Kroger told employees last week that, beginning Jan. 1, that benefit would no longer be available to people who were unvaccinated, the spokeswoman said. The news was reported by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
