The City of Bethel – a village of 6,200 residents – has implemented a policy that bans hiring any new employees who have declined to take the COVID shots.
Effective Aug. 10, the city stated that “all applicants for hire must be vaccinated against COVID-19 and its variants and show proof of vaccination prior to being considered for hire.”
The city website adds that any exemptions to the policy will be evaluated on a “case-by-case basis.”
The vaccination mandate applies to all city departments which includes police, fire, public works, planning, finance, human resources, port and IT. The city employs about 105 full-time employees.
Additionally, the city approved a policy earlier this month that requires all existing employees, volunteers and contractors to show proof of vaccination status. Those who fail to do so are required to submit to weekly COVID tests, physically distance themselves from all other people and continually wear a mask. Additionally, every employee, regardless of vaccination status, must wear masks indoors when they are within six feet of any other person. Any employee refusing to abide by the policy faces disciplinary action.
ALASKA WATCHMAN DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX
For the general public, Bethel requires masking in most indoor settings, while riding public transportation and when standing in line outside. Only limited exemptions are permitted.
Bethel has one of the highest rates of vaccination in the state with more than 56% of eligible residents now deemed fully vaccinated. Despite these numbers, the area continues to experience one of highest rates of infection in the state. As of Aug. 23, the state reports that 16 Bethel residents have contracted COVID within the past three days. That’s more than five times the number of people who have contracted COVID in the Mat-Su over the same period. Unlike Bethel, however, the much larger Mat-Su area has no mask mandates, and the percentage of fully vaccinated residents is less than 38%.

Good for you BETHEL i will just go harvest magic shrooms and sell them to your vaxxed idiots because aparantly they will take just about anything people give them. Keep pushing the liberal agenda and watch the black market thrive.
Exactly.
Everyone from the city stop working and watch the tone of the city flip sides immediately!!!
This is another prime example of “Ignoring science” by the denial of Natural Immunity.
Major change is change one word replacing village to a town of 6,200. The people of Rural Alaska need to start seeing themselves as what they are Americans. Village sounds too primitive and indigenous as a group sovereign dependent upon itself, when these Alaskan small towns recieve its sustenance through the American government.
Nothing like being coerced into signing your own death warrant. Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.

And for Those not jabbed, I suggest staying clear of the “Marked” ones. They are carrying 250 times the viral load of an awakend person without the JAB!
You believe in a god. You believe that prayer works. You believe Trump. Doesn’t surprise me that you believe that the vaccinated carry 250 times the viral load v unvaccinated.
Why don’t people in Bethel love the US Constitution and being secure in their person? Why are the rights of free men tossed out the window?
Both vax and unvax have similarities: both can catch and spread wuhan flu, both could die, only the vaxxed will face the uncertainty of a long term vaccine and booster problem. No job requiring the vax is worth it.
Shame on those who think they can use coercion to achieve their Socialist agenda.
They wouldn’t do it if it weren’t working. That town is run by the Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC) who “advise” the Native leadership to “exercise their sovereign authority” by doing what they are told to do by YKHC, which has consequently benefited hugely and continues to do so from the COVID scare.

A short list of employers who don’t require a Covid Death ClotShot:
CDC, Whitehouse, Pfizer, WHO, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and FDA.
More madness
Bethel has always been the arm pit of Alaska
Sound like Bethel should reevaluate their decision. It’s obvious the vaccinated are the carriers of the disease and they are spreading it around their own people. If they are 56% vaccinated then you can’t tell me the other 44% are the problem or they are the ones that would have the covid flu. Step back people of Bethel and see the big picture!
Alaska take a good look at your flaud decisions of the vaccination. Here’s your petri dish.
If you used the scientific method properly, you wouldn’t come to that conclusion.
Sounds like discrimination. Wonder if there will be a lawsuit? It is reasonable that private businesses should be able to dictate their own policies, but will local government be given that same laxity and responsibility?
