A hospital in upstate New York has been forced to 'pause' the delivery of babies starting Sept. 24 after a flood of maternity workers resigned over Covid-19 vaccine mandates.
Lewis County Health System CEO Gerald Cayer made the announcement in a Friday press conference, according to WWNY. According to Cayer, six employees in the maternity unit resigned and another seven are 'undecided,' rendering the hospital unable to safely deliver children.
"If we can pause the service and now focus on recruiting nurses who are vaccinated, we will be able to reengage in delivering babies here in Lewis County," said Cayer.
Cayer said 165 hospital employees have yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19; that’s 27 percent of the workforce.
The other 464 workers, or 73 percent of employees, have gotten their shots, he said.
In August, the state announced all health care workers at hospitals and long-term care facilities across New York would be required to have gotten at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination by September 27.
Cayer said the announcement prompted 30 workers to get vaccinated, while another 30 resigned. -WWNY
New York isn't the only state with healthcare workers who refuse to get vaxxed. Last month, a group of New Mexico healthcare workers protested vaccine mandates - which they say 'take away people's choice and informed consent,' and 'violate medical codes of ethics as well as fundamental human rights, the constitution, and the Nuremberg Code,' according to KFOX14.
Protests have also been held in California, Colorado, Wisconsin, Arizona, Washington and elsewhere.
And judging by the overwhelming upvotes on YouTube, most people support them.
Fauxcy and that Witch at the CDC need to come clean....
I don't blame them.
Oops. The hospital has a problem, don’t you think?
Some of us do not like being ruled.
“Ow! Ow! Ow!”
“Sorry, ma’am. You’ll have to push the baby back in. We’re pausing on delivering babies right now.”
Dont need nurses and hospitals, squat and drop them alongside the road, been done for thousands of years.
Amazing how quickly doctors and nurses have gone from heroes to being vilified by the media and the Democrats.
I disagree. A short drop and a sudden stop will suffice just fine.
If Biden wants to divide the country, wreck the economy, destroy morale in the military, demolish trust in the government and embarass America in the eyes of the world, he’ doing a perfect job. Now it’s the vaxed vs. the unvaxed. His comments the other day couldn’t have been more divisive and inflammatory. It has to be deliberate.
There is already a major shortage of nurses in this country. Where do they think they’re going to get and recruit all these people to replace the nurses who resigned?
Just hold it ma’am. Or call a cab, many babies are born successfully in those.
We need a national strike, people are to weak to do this and deserve everything thats done to them and their family.
I had a friend who gave birth to her baby at home, in her bed, with a midwife.
It was trendy back then; and my friend was a very tough woman.
Lowville.....
That’s going to leave the people up there in a world of hurt.
It’s a pretty desolate and unpopulated section of the state.
Beautiful scenery as you can see the high peaks of the Adirondacks, but not near ANYTHING.
“There is already a major shortage of nurses in this country. Where do they think they’re going to get and recruit all these people to replace the nurses who resigned?”
Exactly! *BUMP*
Just one step closer to Government Run Healthcare. It’s all by design, Comrade. All. By. Design. :(
Very much so.
How many nurses are crossing the southern border? Those women are sure good at pumping out babies so they ought to know how to deliver one.
Guatamala, Honduras, Kenya, India, probably.
Mandatory. Abortions and sterilizations of birthing persons. Or defund maternity wards.
lol. ouch. but made me laugh.
