Vaccine Mandate Protest at GE Greenville

Yesterday people from all over the Upstate came to protest in front of the entrance to one of GE’s manufacturing facilities in Greenville, SC. In the crowd were some GE employees as well who wanted to make a statement about the newly issued vaccine mandate by the company.

The event took place at about 11am on Thursday, October 21st. I was there and would say the crowd was likely at least 150 people. What was most pronounced at this particular rally or protest were the number of blue collar men who showed up to express their concerns the the overbearing and frankly Un-American demands being made by President Joe Biden and companies like General Electric. One of the groups that has been involved in leading these protests or medical freedom rallies around Greenville is the Greenville County GOP. GC GOP Chairman, Jeff Davis, issued this statement concerning the vaccine mandate by GE.

My understanding from talking with people I know at GE is that the company is handing out both medical and religious exemptions. It doesn’t sound like they are difficult to get and the company is not stringing people along on making the decision whether someone is exempt or not. I did hear that with the medical exemption that the company is requiring a signature from a doctor. Good luck with that. There aren’t many doctors in the country I suspect willing to put their names on something like this. Given the way the country is going, they might be placed on a new enemies list. Here’s WYFF’s story. Note the overhead picture is when the crown had died down a bit so it doesn’t look like many people.
