    New York says "I see your 600, and I raise you 70,000"

    ~16% of the state’s 450,000 hospital staff, or roughly 70,000 unvaxxed workers to be replaced by the National Guard.

    Let them burn!

    Oh, set to fire.... not set fire to. I thought burning people alive was a bit extreme.

    As of Monday evening, the number of unvaccinated hospital staff had dropped to about 8%.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/28/nyregion/vaccine-health-care-workers-mandate.html.

    Will have to see if that significantly negatively impacts quality of care. Luckily NY is not going through a covid surge right now.

    No pity for those that refuse to follow company policies.

    If u don't like it go find a different fking job.

    U have the right to refuse vaccinations mandate, u have the right to not get a drug test, u have a right to deny a background check, just don't btch when u get rejected or fired for refusing to follow company policies. It's that simple.

    And fortuitous, every one of those 600 could be black, female whistleblowers over 40 with multiple disabilities and you'd probably pay no more than overtime for the Securitas escorts, fight those claims like a Grisham villian, book the profits like David Duncan.

    Down to 320. People got to job. For context, we will cross the 700k covid death in a week or two.

    Fewer United Airlines employees set to lose jobs over COVID-19 vaccines - Chicago Tribune

    On Tuesday, United said it would begin terminating 593 employees who failed to get vaccinated or request a religious or medical exemption by the company’s deadline. That number has since dropped to 320, driven primarily by employees who provided proof of vaccination late, and the number could continue to shrink.

    Nurses and doctors aren't research scientists.

    Especially nurses. Anti-vax nurses have the highest amount of undeserved ego. "I'm not taking Coivd vax as a nurse". Might as well say "I'm not taking the COVID vax as an accountant".

    I love nurses. I hope they land on their feet if they get fired. Ego and all.

    Good, get vaccinated or don’t work in healthcare.
