Henry Ford Health says 400 of its workers quit after refusing COVID-19 vaccine

[RandySF]

DETROIT - One of Michigan's largest health care systems says approximately 400 of its workers have quit rather than get a required COVID-19 vaccine.

Henry Ford Health System confirmed Tuesday that about 1% of its workforce left their job at the hospital over its mandate to get a coronavirus vaccine. It was Michigan's first hospital system to mandate the shots this year.

Another 1,900 - or about 6% of the workforce - were granted religious or medical exemptions from the vaccine.

President Joe Biden ordered vaccine mandates for almost every hospital in the country or weekly coronavirus tests for employees that choose not to get the shot.

Health care is not the only industry to suffer workforce issues due to vaccine mandates - but the rules about getting the shot put them in tricky situations due to staffing shortages meeting a high demand due to the pandemic.

1. good riddance

[gratuitous]

2. Four hundred - WOW! Wait; that's, like, 1% of their workforce?

You have more than that go missing on the afternoon of March 17.

3. Watch out for that door! Unfortunately some will probably be wheeled back in and back out,

just maybe not alive.

4. They can go work at Taco Bell.

I hear there is a 'labor shortage'.

5. The must think they can sue for being stupid?

6. i'm pretty certain This mandate situation could

show us who TFG'S followers are! (some do have concerns BUT) the higher percentage belong to the RETHUGLICON party!

[brush]

7. That's standing up for principle...and idiotic one but a...

principle nonetheless. Whatever it means. Now where do these magats think they're going to find another comparable job? Especially when other employers find out they quit because they didn't want to get vaccinated, what with more and more employers mandating vaccines?

Just stupid. Listening to trump and FOX can cause one to make bad decisions. Too bad, so sad.

[underpants]

9. Probably close to or at retirement

Otherwise they are idiots.

11. Religious Exemption My Ass

I'm hoping that most of that 6% were medical exemptions.

What religions advocate against vaccination? Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Several Major Denominations Have Made...

...public statements that there is no religious basis for vax exemption. RCC, Southern Baptist, Methodist LDS, 7th Day Adventist, Church of England, major leaders in Judaism, and more.
So, you're right. It's BS.

17. And Christian Scientists and Jehovah Witnesses

[themaguffin]

12. How many accepted it?

[ProfessorGAC]

14. The Other 27,700!

Google shows 30,000 employees. 1,900 exempted, 400 whiny babies quit.
92.5% of their employees did the smart thing.

[themaguffin]

20. and that (should be) the headline

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Agreed!

The fools are getting too much attention.

[mcar]

15. Only 1% of Henry Ford Health employees refuse lifesaving vaccine

There, fox2detroit, fixed the headline for you.

[Chainfire]

16. I am glad that these idiots will not be providing my health care.

They are in the wrong damn business if they don't believe in science and medicine and can not calculate odds.

[Xolodno]

18. They'll change their tune within a few months.

Lack of an income or working in the fast food business will change your mind quick. They'll probably apply to another hospital...and during the interview, "So we need your Vaccination Card"....oops.

And when McDonalds doesn't pay the rent or mortgage....double oops.

Economics has a way to slap people in the face to think a bit more clearly.

19. I bet most were bookkeepers, maintenance, etc, not nurses or doctors
