From reports, you'd swear that masses of healthcare workers quit over vax requirements. The reality:

Few U.S. Health Workers Are Defying Vaccine Mandates, Companies Say


(NYT) With deadlines for health care workers to take coronavirus vaccinations either passed or quickly approaching, only a fraction of those workers across the United States are risking their jobs by not complying.

The consequences that employers warned of are becoming reality.

UCHealth System in Colorado fired 119 people this week. Kaiser Permanente, based in California, has suspended more than 2,200 employees. And 400 workers have resigned from the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit rather than get inoculated.

....(snip)....

Still, about 1 percent of Kaiser’s work force across the country — approximately 2,200 workers — were put on unpaid administrative leave because they had not met the requirement, the spokesman said. They have until Dec. 1 to get vaccinated to be able to return to work.

The Henry Ford Health System required its employees to comply with a vaccination requirement by last Friday. The system said on Tuesday that 99 percent of its 33,000 employees had been fully vaccinated, were soon to get their second dose or had received medical or religious exemptions. .............(more)

1. Mandates are a great way to get 99% vaccination rate.

That's the bottom line.

2. Thanks for this info, I'm beyond tired of the yellow journalism. Give me a few trusted journalists

and historians/analysts like Heather Cox Richardson - and the rest of corporate media can go jump in a click-bait swamp somewhere. They've failed us through four years of Trump and President Biden's first year.

9. Good!

A Medical services granddaughter and her rw colleagues stood firm a month ago. Nothing I could say to convince them to get the shot. No vaccine! Today, they all have at least one shot. Ha! Knew it.

10. Who wants to be treated by an idiot who is too stupid to get vaccinated

12. Their idiocy is my gain

Since the traveler medical market is wide open right now. It's a fair bet I'll be filling in for some unvaccinated fool in just over a week from today.
The bout with COVID left me with a lot of long hauler issues I've taken time out to convalesce, de-stress, dream out and forget the assaults from the anti-maskers I had to take on repeatedly.
Soon I'll be wearing space suits to enter COVID rooms to conduct tests again, this time not only vaccinated but recently boostered.
Yet the pathological problem remains, even if temporarily in remission. RWNJ's suggestion to get armed for the coming civil war has me thinking...
At risk of violating someone's sensibilities here---
Just wondering if some of the fast acting tranquilizers can safely be mixed with the vaccine.
Since these idiots are acting like animals...
