fired healthcare worker says she wouldn't get vaxxed even if God said 'you must take this vaccine'

A New York healthcare worker who was just fired for refusing the COVID-19 shot says she wouldn't get it even if God said 'you must take this vaccine'


Karen Roses of Riverhead, New York was fired from a Northwell Health hospital for refusing to take the coronavirus vaccine.
New York's COVID-19 vaccination mandate went into effect on September 27, requiring hospital and nursing home healthcare workers to have received their first dose.

Roses is one of a fraction of healthcare employees who would rather be terminated than get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Karen Roses worked at Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead, New York for over three years as a patient care technician. She said the pandemic has been exhausting, leaving medical personnel burnt out and hospitals understaffed. Then came the vaccination mandate.

---------------

Roses said she won't get the vaccine because it feels "rushed" and "forced," and it doesn't guarantee that she won't get coronavirus or spread it to others. Experts have said the vaccine was developed quickly because countries and organizations heavily invested in its development, which saved time, as Insider's Mary Meisenzahl previously reported.

"God could come down and say to me, 'You must take this vaccine.' And I'd be like, 'Sorry, Charlie,'" Roses said. "It's not something that somebody specifically or a specific group has to tell me it's safe. My research has to tell me it's safe. The people that I talk to... I don't know how to really explain that, but I kind of have to see it for myself."

It's satisfying that she won't be caring for patients in the future, though. Good riddance.

Soooo, a "patient care technician" (whatever that is), has more knowledge and research skills than all the experts in the world? Got it.

MRNA technology has been in study and development for quite a few years. This did not just spring up overnight.

18 freakin' years.
The issue was strictly financial.
There simply wasn't a justification to develop a specific recipe for a disease & gear up for mass production.
The COVID came along and the urgent need & mass demand existed.
Nothing was rushed, because nearly 2 decades of fundamental safety data existed before they ever started to tune the tech for COVID.
The "rushed" argument is a pseudoscientific excuse for a politically motivated decision. These people are ignorant drones pretending to be knowledgeable.

She'll really know how she screwed up once she can't get unemployment or another job in that field.

Just stupid, know more than God.
