Scripps becomes the latest TV station ownership group that will require that all employees get the COVID vaccine.

FTVLive obtained an email to the staff that said they have until December 1st to get the shot, if not, “the employee will be in violation of our safety policy, and this will end their Scripps employment.”

One emailer to FTVLive said that Scripps is “forcing us to be vaccinated.”

Of course, that is not true whatsoever. Scripps is not “forcing anyone to be vaccinated. They are just making a policy change that says if you are not vaccinated, you can no longer work for the company. It’s the choice of the employee if they want to adhere to that policy, or leave the company. No one is being forced.

If you don’t wear your seatbelt in your car, or have insurance on your vehicle and you are pulled over, you will get a ticket. No one is forcing you to wear a seatbelt, be if you don’t you could be pulled over and fined.

I give Scripps credit for trying to keep their employees safe and trying to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Here is the memo sent to the staff and obtained by FTVLive:
