36-year-old Justin Moon spent nearly 6 weeks on a ventilator.
The airline said it has begun terminating up to 593 employees who failed to comply with the company’s vaccine mandate, with seven staffers already filing lawsuits in response.As a former Division I college football player for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide, Justin Moon faced many challenges on the field.
Moon, of Guntersville, Alabama, was an athlete his entire life, and prior to his COVID diagnosis, he said he had no known underlying health conditions. When the vaccines became widely available, Moon said he was hesitant given the mixed messaging on vaccinations in political circles. Even though the company he works for, Waste Connections, encouraged workers to get vaccinated, he chose not to get the shot after avoiding the disease during the first wave of the pandemic.
His decision, ultimately, came too late, when he tested positive for the virus just days prior to when he planned to get the shot. So far, Moon’s wife, who is working to get the word out along with his employer, says his story has convinced at least 250 unvaccinated people within the community to get the shot.
