30 days off paid pretty good. Title is misleading, they give 30 days off paid, 6 months unpaid then they fire you. Of course policy likely changes in 8 months time.

They need to do some googling....

"Individuals who have had two vaccine doses can be just as infectious as those who have not been jabbed." https://www.bbc.com/news/health-59077036

Way to miss the rest of the article:

Unvaccinated people cannot rely on those around them being jabbed to remove their risk of getting infected, they warn.
Vaccines do an excellent job of preventing serious Covid illness and deaths, but are less good at stopping infections, particularly since the emergence of the more infectious Delta variant which is dominant in the UK.

Your point being? Here are some news from the most vaccinated country in the world...

"Portugal Returns to COVID Restrictions Despite High Jab Rate" https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-11-25/...

If Google really wants to make people return to the office after vaccination, so much, they are ready to fire their half-genius,we would assume they investigated if this would stop infections. Clearly not the case.

Is this really Google's policy? Or is it rather Google applying FedGov's requirement "if you want to do business with FedGov, all your employees must be vaccinated, even if they are not working directly with FedGov"? I'd say it's the latter.
