Chicago Set to Lose 50% or More of Police Force at Midnight Tonight as Police Union Calls Mayor’s Bluff on Reporting COVID-19 Vaccine Status

Chicago police officers union president John Catanzara is calling Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s bluff.
The Chicago Mayor is trying to force all of Chicago’s police officers to register at a portal supplied by the city that reveals whether or not they have proof of a COVID-19 vaccination. The officers have until midnight tonight (October 14, 2021) to register at the portal, or they will go into a “non-pay” status, which Catanzara claims is a new status that previously did not even exist.
Catanzara put out a video on Tuesday this week, directing officers to “hold the line” and NOT go to the portal and give the city their personal information. He does not believe the Mayor or the City has a lawful right to this information, which clearly violates HIPAA and other privacy laws.

Do not fill out the portal information. You are under no obligation to do that, other than the city’s demand.
Once you do that, we can never get information back.
We have no assurances from the city that that is secure. What that information is going to entail as far as going forward, who it can be shared with, etc. (nobody knows.)
The simple fact that they keep putting out public statements, emails, and having bosses call you, means one thing: our members are holding the line.
And officers from all ranks are not going into that portal. They clearly must have a very very low cooperation level, which is good.
It’s information they shouldn’t be entitled to.

Catanzara tells the officers to submit exemption forms today (Thursday) instead of going to the portal, and the union has supplied three exemption forms that are allowed by law in the State of Illinois for valid vaccine exemptions: medical, religious, and conscientious objection.
The forms are supplied on the Union’s website here.
In the video, Catanzara explains that they are prepared to file grievances with the Labor Board, and also take this to court and request a temporary restraining order (TRO).
In addressing the police officers, Catanzara makes it very clear that they are NOT calling for a strike or any other illegal action.

This is very clearly not a job action, not a call for a strike, none of that illegal stuff that I’m sure the city is going to try to make it out to be.
If the city maintains its current course, come midnight on Thursday/Friday morning, members will be forced into a non-pay status that did not complete the portal information or subject to testing thereafter.

He encourages all officers to report for duty Friday morning, and force their supervisors to send them home for not going to the portal and filling out the medical information.
If the city goes through with this, Catanzara states that 50% of the Chicago police force, or even less, will be on duty this weekend.
It seems that not only are the unvaccinated not going to the portal to surrender personal information, apparently many officers who have received a vaccine but consider the City’s demands illegal and an invasion of their privacy are also not complying.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot responded to Catanzara’s video by following the current script that the Globalists have written and that is being broadcast on their pharma-owned corporate media 24/7 now.

“If you are not vaccinated, you are playing with your life, the life of your family, the life of your colleagues, and members of the public. We don’t want to lose any more police officers for covid-19 deaths when a lifesaving vaccine is readily available.”

When questioned about the legal actions Catanzara stated the Union would take, she reportedly responded:

“Bring it on.”

Watch John Catanzara’s entire message to the Chicago police, because you will not get an accurate account of what he said from the pharma-owned corporate media.
This is still on YouTube, but if it disappears, let us know as we have a copy and will get it back up right away on alternative video platforms.

Massachusetts Set to Lose 50% of Their Correction Officers by Sunday due to Vaxx Mandate with Prison System “Pushed into Chaos”

Cheryl Fiandaca of WBZ CBS Boston reported today that more than 1,500 correctional officers in Massachusetts, about 50% of the state’s “highly trained correction officers,” are scheduled to be fired on Sunday, October 17th, for failing to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination status.
Governor Charlie Baker has reportedly activated 250 National Guard troops to help staff potential shortages at the state prisons.
Fiandaca interviewed Kevin Flanagan, the legislative liaison for the Massachusetts Correction Officers Federated Union, who stated:

“With all due respect to the men and women of the National Guard, we have highly trained correction officers who have worked throughout the pandemic for 18 months and to now say 50 percent would be terminated it’s not right, it’s not fair.”

Corey Scadifi, the executive secretary for the Massachusetts Correction Officers Federated Union, stated that the union was filing a complaint in federal court over the vaccination mandates.

“We don’t want to see militarization of our prisons, we don’t want to see 1,500 of our members fired. We don’t think that the state is prepared for the impacts that this is going to have inside the prison system.”

Senator Jamie Eldridge was also interviewed for the CBS I-Team report.

Senator Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton) sits on the public safety committee and is very involved with prison reform. Eldridge says it is pretty scary putting the military into prisons.
“It could be for many, many months and that’s very concerning,” said Eldridge. “Correction officers play such a critical role ensuring there is safety in our prisons.”
Potentially losing half of all correction officers working in state prisons is a concern for Eldridge.
“Correction officers again playing that critical role, really need to rethink, for a lot of them, their resistance to getting vaccinated,” Eldridge said. “And that’s the only solution to get out of what is approaching to be a crisis in Massachusetts.”

Wrong, Senator! It is NOT the “only” solution, and the BEST solution for the State of Massachusetts is to stop mandating a medical product that people do not want and is known to kill and injure many people with little to no medical benefit, since the hospitals are now filled with “breakthrough” cases.

The National Guard does not Need to Comply with COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates Until June 2022

Absent from the CBS I-Team report is the issue of the National Guard, who are being called up in many states to replace workers being fired for not getting a mandated COVID-19 shot.
The National Guard does not have to comply with COVID-19 vaccine mandates until June of 2022.
A report earlier this year stated that fewer National Guard members were receiving COVID-19 shots than active duty members, with less than 40% vaccinated. (Source.)
This begs the question on how National Guard members, the majority of whom have not yet been vaccinated and have until next year to comply with mandates, can replace prison workers and in other states hospital workers who are being terminated simply because they are not vaccinated for COVID-19?
We reached out to the I-Team at WBZ CBS Boston to ask why this important detail was not covered in their report, since it is a very important matter of public health, but at the time of publication they had not responded yet. You can ask them yourselves: iteam@wbztv.com
This is further evidence that COVID-19 vaccines have nothing to do with public health, and everything to do with politics and enriching Big Pharma by forcing people who do not want their products to take them anyway.
We reported back in September, for example, that the Biden administration’s federal mandate for COVID-19 excluded certain groups, such as members of Congress, the U.S. Postal Service, and illegal immigrants crossing the border. See:
