WOFL Fox 35 Orlando: “Walt Disney World is putting its COVID-19 vaccine mandate on pause, a cast member tells FOX 35 News. Nick Caturano, who runs the website GoofyVaccine.com confirmed that an internal memo was sent out to employees, notifying them of the pause.
“According to Nick’s website, he’s been a cast member at Disney World for 16 years. Caturano talked to Good Day Orlando on Saturday describing the memo that he says he and fellow cast members received. ‘We all want to go back to a sense of normalcy. We all hoped the vaccine would do the trick. And it seemed like it was starting to work but people are getting the COVID…to separate them it doesn’t make sense.’
“FOX 35 obtained a copy of the internal memo sent to Disney cast members. It says in part: ‘The pause will remain in effect as it assesses the new state laws protecting workers from vaccine mandates.’ Disney says more than 90% of Florida cast members have verified they are fully vaccinated. Those who aren’t will be required to wear face masks and practice social distancing.”
