Firefighters are far more likely to be responding to medical calls -including from people with covid - than house fires.  And in those medical calls they are interacting with medically vulnerable people, and obviously putting themselves at risk for catching and then transmitting covid to the next vulnerable patient they see.

All first responders should be vaccinated.  [/quote]

Last year, COVID was the leading cause of job-related death for police officers.  And they have a very low vaccination rate.  It's insane -- they are sworn to protect people, but they won't get a vaccine that will protect them and others from an infection that could be deadly.  Both groups frequently respond to calls involving medical emergencies, and interact with medically vulnerable people.  They need to be vaccinated.  [/quote]

I'm sure the whining will be remarkable.

I'd love to understand the psychology behind all of this.

I think these groups feel entitled to gorge themselves at the public trough, consequences be damned. They should start now by cutting OT for any unvaccinated first responder. That's a good first step to see how they respond to incentives.

I can't even imagine the entitled whining and meltdowns that will happen when their first paycheck is canceled. [/quote][/quote]
