[Anonymous]

The GOP basically fights against anything that will help society.

They are oppositional and obstructionist POSs.

This.

Could be a good thing at a time when there is a shortage of healthcare workers in general.

Mayo Clonic fired something like 700 employees for being unvaccinated. Because, during a pandemic, surely it makes sense to fire the remaining healthcare workers, who have been faithfully putting their own lives on the line since Day 1. So crazy!

So, the states that life these ridiculous vaccine mandates will be able to hire travel nurses or employees from other states. It would help alleviate the nursing shortage! Definitely a good move right now, when hospitals need all the help they can get.

YOu have no idea if those fired were even healthcare workers. Most likely admin staff and essential like janitor and food services. The nursing shortage will be alleviated with people start listening to them when they BEG folks to get vaccinated.

Tell us oh so articulate one, do you have a specific thing you are referring to, or do you just randomly show up on political blogs and throw out useless rhetoric?

It was in response to the post right before mine. The quoting was messed up so I didn't quote.

Sorry you're having trouble following the thread.

Yeah, if you truly cared about the state of the healthcare system, you would probably opt out of any elective procedures during Covid.

But, we get it. You just want to dictate other people’s choices.

My elective surgery was the removal of a large mass on my uterus and left ovary. Before the operation the doctors believed it to be 60% non-cancerous, but could not be certain without the surgery. I elected the surgery. Either way, the surgery would eventually be necessary as the mass was growing. Under your stupid theory I guess I should have waited to find out without the surgery and rolled the dice. When would have been the right time PP to schedule that surgery to remove that growing mass on your uterus and ovary? There really are some ignorant trolls on DCUM.

DP. How frightening. I hope you will be okay. I only know elective surgery is most surgery because a friend was told he needed a triple by pass at the end of the summer. It was canceled twice due to hospital capacity. He finally had it days before Christmas. He's doing better but I was so afraid he'd have a coronary during those long months of waiting. I can't believe that necessary surgery is being postponed in the United States. It feels third world.

You should move to DC! Solidly Democratic and likely a better fit for you.

When will you be relocating?

Sure. You think it’s amoral to give people a choice. We get it.

I think it’s amoral to push a vaccine just so that businesses can stay open, workers can go back to work faster (even when positive) and to make Pfizer billions of dollars when it might not even make much of a difference with regards to public health.

Yes. With a pandemic as disruptive as this to our collective health and economy, absolutely yes.

There are too many idiots making bad choices and pushing misinformation. It shouldn’t be a choice.

How many people have had COVID already and do not wish to get the vaccine? Natural immunity varies by person, but it is generally for most more effective and longer lasting than the vaccine. The current data on the boosters say they work well for about 10 weeks, then they at which point they have diminished to about 30% effective and continue to diminish from there. That is why they are talking about boosters every 3 to 4 months now. I work for a doctor's office, and the number of people with adverse reactions to the vaccine and not getting the second shot is probably higher than you think. My own doctor's son got myocarditis from the vaccine. People are not considered "fully vaccinated" with just the one vaccination, though are advised by their doctor not to get the second shot. How many people can get therapeutics that greatly reduce their chances of getting seriously ill or hospitalization if they do get COVID? There is more than one path, but your myopic view, one size fits all view and refusal to realize that if every single American was vaccinated, we would still have COVID infections, hospitalizations, and deaths and that the vaccine is not panacea you think it is or even particularly effective for anything but getting a more severe case of COVID is NOT "following the science" BS that has been pushed since day 1. People are sick of your one and only vaccine mantra. I am vaccinated BTW.

Would you say the same about polio or measles vaccinations?

Many anti-vax nurses are quitting because they fear the vaccine will impact their fertility. They got this belief not from any study (which has shown the exact opposite), but from TikTok influencers talking about their post-vac periods, which every woman knows can vary month to month for any reason and no reason at all. Do you really want the people responsible for overseeing your care to be so stupid? What’s next? Are they going to deny you medicine because they believe in essential oils? Deny you an X-ray and heal you through reiki?

Goodbye and good riddance, ladies.

So they didn’t quit in 2020 during the height of fear and uncertainty?

I guess they were dumb to keep treating patients during a pandemic.

Personally I will avoid getting healthcare at a hospital or health system that doesn’t require vaccination.
