Vaccine mandates are increasingly prevalent as online job boards emerge that allow unvaccinated individuals to apply for open positions at companies.
Gab CEO Andrew Torba announced the creation of the “No Vax Mandate Job Board” in an email sent to users on Wednesday. The job board is hosted on Gab, a social media platform that has been embraced by certain conservatives and far-right individuals.
