Terminations of the vaccination resistant are upon Americans and critical parts of society. This is going to be like watching porn for GWB. For the rest of the country: Not so much. Y'all may think that the vaccine resistant are just Trump supporters in Alabama as the media has trained you to believe. Tell me that at the end of next week. Biden knows what he is doing and promoting here about like he knows/knew what he was doing with Kabul, the border, "transitory inflation," and managing supply chain problems. All disasters. Prepare to dive. We are going down for a deep uncontrolled dive. We will get past it at some point but, as usual, we will look back and see that we were dealt another big scoop of divisiveness from the Divider in Chief. It will be a disaster- which he will later call an extraordinary success.
Seeing that under 0.5% of work forces quit due to vaccine mandates — despite all the noise made by anti-vaxxers — the concept the country is entering “termination hell” is laughable.
It is not necessarily about the numbers as where those numbers will occur. Many of us live in areas where there is already a majorly reduced police force and frequent mob violence and lawlessness as a result of previous lefty permissiveness. That will get worse, not better. If you have health care workers leaving in droves or being fired in droves then any number makes a big difference. Navy seals, doctors, police whatever. Just one less paramedic in some regions is life or death to the person who needs him/her. Teachers will be impacted in droves unless the current trajectory is changed. We shall see. We know you want more whatever the numbers turn out to be. It will be better for you, than for others as I said. Anyway. You say it is "laughable." We will watch around the country and see how people are laughing. The other thing you are not calculating is the amount hostility and divisiveness and uncertainty that employees experience even if they end out getting vaccinated at gunpoint or threat of job loss. That is already a hell for them.
Half the Chicago PD are losing their jobs over the weekend. I wouldn't shop the Miracle Mile this weekend thats for sure.
Yes... for weeks we have seen anti-vax Covid-denies pushing doom & gloom about large-scale workforce reductions due to people quitting over mandates --- all to watch this nonsense, week after week prove to be wrong. We have seen large medical systems with tens of thousands of employees only have a couple dozen quit over vaccine mandates -- including Duke, UNC-Health, and others locally in N.C. And the few who quit are not nurses and doctors -- they are in backroom positions like billing or custodians. Same thing with police forces and other workplaces -- lots of noise and very few people actually quit over having to get vaccinated. The only place where there may have been an impact is with small medical facilities in rural regions. Some of these hospitals scaled back services such a child-birth departments. However all of these facilities had staffing issues before Covid hit --- and many of the claims by anti-vaxxers that the scaling back of services were due to vaccine mandates were proven to be incorrect-- the reductions were actually due to the large number of unvaccinated Delta Covid patients in the hospital requiring services (I will point to the hospital in upstate New York and the one in Maine as examples). These rural hospitals have been under financial stress for long period of time and are apt to find an excuse to scale back services they find to be unprofitable -- such as childbirth. The cities with crime issues -- had the same problems with police officer retention before Covid showed up. All we are seeing now is their unions attempting to use vaccine mandates as a bargaining chip. It is interesting to note that Covid killed more police officers in the past 18 months than any other cause --- including other diseases, violence from criminals, and suicide. Seeing that 63% of police officer deaths in the U.S. during this time were due to Covid -- bright police officers would get vaccinated. As for any that refuse you have to question if they have the minimal level of intelligence necessary to stay on the job. The vast majority of teachers support mandatory vaccination. In fact most educators don't want to see any unvaccinated adults in the building. This brings up one other point -- companies and institutions which don't mandate Covid vaccination will see their most capable and best employees quit. Intelligent people don't want to work with plague rats. We already saw this with one manufacturing company in N.C. who proclaimed they would not require vaccination or masks. All this did was to cause their existing workforce to quit... now they are effectively shut-down. In reality vaccine mandates work -- these noisy clowns who claim they will quit rather than get vaccinated don't actually take the step --- they act like little sheep, take the jab and stay employed. Bottom Line - vaccine mandates work to protect society -- even forcing those who don't give a shiat about others to get vaccinated.
Your joy at watching the humiliation of pro-vaccine choice workers knows no bounds. I have never said that many/most will not eventually be beaten down and get vaccinated. I have said that many will go through a hellish period and it will be another gift from the Divider in Chief. You are already working a plan to put up a little graph in the future showing how most ended out getting the vaccine and show that disproves this or proves that. You miss the point entirely. Meanwhile, Divider in Chief's divisiveness begins to play out. People feel like they are being treated like sheep and then you state above that eventually the little sheep will in fact line up like little sheep. Nice. Boeing workers stage protest near Seattle over U.S. vaccine mandate Waving signs like "coercion is not consent" https://www.reuters.com/world/us/boeing-workers-stage-protest-over-vaccine-mandate-2021-10-15/
The amusing part of these protests is that the huge majority of those attending turn out not to be employees but just anti-vaxxer idiots. The protests at medical institutions were the most laughable -- the anti-vaxxers would show up in scrubs... and the hospitals would say none of these people work here. In fact most of these protestors were found out not to even be employed in the medical field. Don't mistake noisy protests by anti-vaxxers for reality. Similarly don't confuse protests organized by unions to to force concessions over pay & benefits as reality.
ET trolls including, GWB have huge surprises in store for him and his fellow trolls when he finds out the consequences of the vaccine mandate of Joe Biden. It will all come down crashing and these extreme liberals, who in their arrogance thought, they can bully everyone into submission to take the vaccine experimental drugs, have a thing coming. ET trolls try flying a plane to get to your destination, getting medical care when you get a heart attack or Corona Virus, require police assistance from a threat to your lives, guess what fools? You are not getting it because those vaccinated are much fewer in numbers to fill all the immediate needs. https://www.yahoo.com/news/nightmare-scenarios-emergency-medical-responders-223100857.html
Yet -- despite all the fear mongering we are not seeing droves of first responders quitting due to vaccine mandates across the U.S. Tiny rural first-responder departments in Maine like the ones outlined in the article already had significant problems retaining staff before pandemic even began -- as noted in the article most of the staffers left for bigger departments -- not due to mandates. This is coupled with the reality that any EMS or healthcare worker which refuses to get vaccinated should not be in the profession. What we are actually seeing are first responders, nurses, and doctors leaving the profession due to the stress of dealing with an endless stream of unvaccinated Covid patients which are flooding the services and facilities -- leading to high stress in the healthcare profession. Most of the professionals are shocked that people won't take the obvious step of getting vaccinated to protect their own health and the health of others. Many medical professionals simply don't want to put up with unvaccinated idiots anymore (a good number who are violent Covid-deniers). We are also seeing an unprecedented level of violence against healthcare workers from Covid-deniers. Which has tuned hospitals into the most dangerous place to work in the U.S. Flight attendants aren't the only workers facing unprecedented violence on the job: Nurses say they've seen a rise in physical and verbal abuse from agitated patients https://www.businessinsider.com/fro...see-rise-in-physical-and-verbal-abuse-2021-10 31% of hospital nurses have reported an increase in violence, up from 22% in March 2021. Nurses told Insider the tense politics around vaccines and masks may be leading to patient aggression. 1 in 4 nurses faces physical violence on the job, and the hospital is one of the most dangerous workplaces in the country, according to OSHA. Kevin Romanchik, an emergency room nurse in Michigan, said he's been punched, hit, kicked, spat on, and called "every name in the book" during his 13 years on the job. Recently, Romanchik said he thinks abuse towards nurses has gone up recently because patients are easily agitated. Asking simple questions like if a patient has received a COVID-19 vaccine could become political and give rise to anger and aggression, he told Insider. Once dubbed "heroes" of the pandemic, frontline workers in America are reckoning with increased violence and aggression on the job. Flight attendants are seeing a historic rise in unruly passengers. Shoppers have even killed retail workers for enforcing local mask mandates. Nurses are not excluded from the worrisome trend. On top of dealing with short-staffing and burnout, 31% of hospital nurses across the country have reported a small or significant increase in workplace violence, up from 22% in March 2021, according to a recent survey from the National Nurses United union. "These nurses are there to help. That's a trauma in itself to feel that now they are unsafe at work and there's that risk of violence against them," Kerry Peterson, an associate professor at the University of Colorado College of Nursing, told Insider. "That can have detrimental consequences." Why violence has increased towards nurses during the pandemic Despite being places of healing, hospitals are one of the most dangerous places to work. Hospitals recorded more than 221,000 work-related injuries in 2019 according to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and had a workplace injury rate almost double the average for all private employers. Nurses, who spend the most time at a patient's bedside, can bear the brunt of the violence. One in four nurses is physically assaulted on the job, according to a 2019 survey by the American Nurses Association. Assaults range from getting cursed at to grabbing and kicking, a 2014 survey of more than 5,000 nurses found. Erica, a hospital nurse in Nevada, said she suspects the rate of injury towards nurses is even higher, but many nurses do not end up reporting incidents due to fear of retaliation. (Insider agreed to identify Erica only by her first name for her personal safety.) Last year during the pandemic, Erica co-founded The Last Pizza Party, a nurse advocacy group with 14,000 Facebook followers, to support professionals dealing with the onslaught of COVID-19 cases. A 2020 NBC investigation found 77% of hospitals in California reported making no safety improvements after receiving an assault report. The assaults against healthcare workers ranged from bruising to fractures to cuts, and happened primarily in in-patient rooms and ERs. Erica said instead of preventing assaults from happening, some hospitals have resorted to stop gap measures, like giving nurses rape whistles and panic buttons. Better solutions to decrease workplace violence come from system-wide changes, Erica said. Nurse unions and advocates have drafted legislation to states and the federal government which would criminalize nurse abuse. Erica added hospitals need to provide nurses with enough resources and mental health support to carry out their roles. Erica encouraged other nurses to get involved with anti-abuse groups, such as The Last Pizza Party, the Silent No More Foundation, and Nurses Take DC. The momentum Erica has seen on social media — including TikTok, where she has 200,000 followers and over 3.5 million likes — during the pandemic gives her hope. "What COVID did is it highlighted all of the issues in nursing that have been around forever, but it's made them impossible to ignore," Erica said. Without addressing the growing crisis, however, Romanchik expects more nurses to leave the job, which will lead to the quality of care worsening overall. "Nursing has been one of the most trusted professions for years now," he said. "So when nurses are telling you that there are problems or things are difficult, the best thing that the public hospital administration can do and local leaders can do is listen."
