NYC Healthcare Workers Required To Be Vaccinated Or Have Weekly Tests
“I wonder why people are leaving our state?”
@Qanon is a suicide cult run by Ron Watkins the Boomers ONLY retire in RED States to save money, with No or Little State income tax.. while those same RED states are thus underfunded, and highly dependent on Federal funding paid for by Blue States. Those “RED” States are truly Red, lol.. without social communism their Red States would collapse, so ironic!!
@Scott Manerez isn’t that great? I applaud those brave enough to move so those states can be flipped away from red.
Clankers unite 🥄🥄
@JAMES C
I don’t even need to mention the seat loss. I see moving vehicles every day, businesses are abandoned, crime is going up, NY is dead, this outcome was inevitable considering who runs this dumpster fire. I can only hope it’s even still possible for me to make enough money to move as far away from here as humanly possible
Love ya styx
No!
Asinine. As usual.
That’s a great way to lose workers!
Good. Nobody wants a nurse or doctor who can spread a disease to them. Are you completely out of your mind?
*Narrative:* “Please help me! I’m collapsing!”
I earnestly hope NYC collapses. These people deserve it at this point
@Anotherbloodyfanwriter They’ll just steal more of our money to bail them out. Secession, on the other hand, would be great.
@robotron17
I’d like to move out of here and join you in that movement
@Anotherbloodyfanwriter It’s probably going to happen. They’re not going to stop until they’ve forced vaccinations into everyone on Earth. So if you’re surrounded by a bunch of cult members, you might have to move. Fortunately, there’s over 100 million of us in the USA. Anywhere with low vaccination rates is going to be a good place to move to. So get at least a vague plan in place, and get ready to move in a hurry. I’ve been selling my unnecessary possessions for the last 6 months or more.
Both of these people are jokes.
Only see one joke – and that’s you.
@paenchenlama thanks. I try.
@paenchenlama which vaccine did you get?
What happens to patients if in consequence, city hospitals find themselves shortstaffed if doctors and nurses just go to other institutions?
Also FYI, by requiring this the city is basically admitting the health care workers would not have taken it otherwise!
Yup I’m a healthcare worker, been working throughout the pandemic around many “covid positive” patients… have never gotten sick, never gotten vaccine… still won’t.
A lot of healthcare workers never took a virology, epidemiology, or immunology course. While I was getting my degree in microbiology, I tutored RN students in chemistry, and they weren’t very good at grasping scientific concepts. Half of the people in my aforementioned classes were med students, and as they were taking the classes pass/fail, they weren’t the best students. Thus, whether or not an orderly or nurse lacks the basic risk assessment skills, to decide to get vaccinated, never entered into my decision to get vaccinated. I did so as soon as I was allowed to. I also recognize that it would be extremely unwise to allow unvaccinated workers in a hospital setting. People too stupid to get vaccinated, should not be allowed to infect patients, who are often in a weakened condition. Any hospital, that employs the unvaccinated, is leaving themselves open for a malpractice suit. So, any unvaccinated worker should be furloughed, until they rectify their error in judgement.
“Papers please”
When kids have to depend on the school system to eat, that speaks more about the dysfunctional society than it does the virus.
You actually thought someone was blaming child hunger on the virus?? LOL.. did you get your Epistemology at Walmart??
Where??? Maybe they should go to church!!!
@The One And Only!!! The better solution is to get everyone vaccinated, and kids back to school.
@BigCooter.com wrong!!! Public schools are the problem just as it’s your problem 🙄
Y’all ever see someone so fake! Lol that’s a politician for ya!
He’s so fake, it’s not even his real name…
@Leo Peridot yes, just like them…
@Mister Schubert de Blasio using a fake name? Kind of like going from Drumpf to Trump. Or Rafael Eduardo Cruz to Ted Cruz.
@Leo Peridot again, you are correct…
@Leo Peridot You just named a bunch of Republicans lol you must be a Democrat at me either so I assume on
The frog continues to boil…
I take it his burger and fries deal didn’t work lol.
Vaccines 65% effective against infection. Is that a D or D- in biology class these days?
All Ds in high school = “D”iploma
All Ds in college = “D”egree
All Ds in med school = “D”octor
The key words here are “We are STARTING with our healthcare workers…”
Good. That is a good place to start. No company or person should employ an unvaccinated person, they are too great a liability. And since the unvaccinated would be fired for cause, they will not receive unemployment benefits.
You’re calling it a “choice” but it’s not. We are terminated if we don’t get it.
that actually IS a “choice ” YOU get to decide, It’s up to YOU. That’s what makes it a choice .lol by “we ” are you implying this affects YOU ? Im already vaccinated, btw, Im smart.
“Why not just require vaccination?”
“Because the temper tantrums have worn us down. We’re doing the equivalent of giving a spoiled brat the choice between eating vegetables and taking vitamins.”
Bro you are soooooo right smh and the anti vaxxers are still gonna complain smh
It’s simple fellow nurses, just say religious believes prevent you from getting it. They will move on so fast .
