his institution is falling victim to communism," said one former employee who publicly resigned from Mayo Clinic in protest of its vaccine mandate..
A large crowd of protesters marched through downtown Rochester Monday in protest of Mayo Clinic’s vaccine mandate, which could put as many as 8,000 people out of work.
The demonstration lasted for more than four hours, according to video of the event, as protesters carried signs calling for an end to “medical tyranny” and chanting “shame on Mayo.”
To comply with the Biden administration’s federal vaccine mandates, Mayo Clinic informed its employees that they must receive a COVID-19 vaccine or a medical or religious exemption by Nov. 8, according to Med City Beat. Unvaccinated employees without exemptions will be placed on unpaid leave on Dec. 3. If they’re still not vaccinated by Jan. 3, 2022, they will be terminated.
Med City Beat reports that about 8,000 Mayo Clinic employees are unvaccinated.
One Mayo Clinic employee, Kalley Newkirk, went public with her resignation last week.
“I am one, of many, who is resigning from Mayo Clinic, due to the recent email sent to Mayo Clinic Staff and contractors, indicating mandatory COVID-19 vaccination,” Newkirk said in her resignation letter, which she published on Facebook.
“I am not an anti-vaxxer. I have every other vaccine under the sun! I believe in science, I believe in research, but what I don’t believe in: politics getting involved in personal health choices. It breaks patient autonomy, and it is monopolizing the healthcare industry. This institution is falling victim to communism,” she continued.
Hundreds of protesters also gathered at the Minnesota Capitol Saturday to protest vaccine mandates.
I suspect that Mayo Clinic employees know a wee bit about medicine...
Dems are great at tearing things down and not foreseeing the consequences.
Ping.
Sounds like a decision based on inside information.
Hmmmm.
Looking forward to the branch covidians explaining how all of these 8000 mayo clinic folks are uneducated and uniformed and unable tomae proper medical decisions for themselves
Because of corse the anonymous branch covidian FR poster here wil certainly know all tht info firsthand and can pove their medical superiority of covid over all these folks’ expertise
I wish I had a multi billion dollars around.
I would start a hell of a clinic with all the great medical professionals getting refused employment at places.
This’ll be interesting.
Why? It’s not like they’re actors or politicians.
The announcement from Mayo, which affects about 8,000 employees system-wide, follows a Biden administration plan to require vaccination of most workers within facilities that receive funding from Medicare and Medicaid. Those rules are expected to take effect later this year.Prior to the Biden plan, Mayo had adopted a more relaxed policy requiring all employees to either get vaccinated or complete education modules. --linky
I think they foresee the consequences.
It’s all going according to plan. The plan to destroy the US.
8,000 is no insignificant number.
Last year I had some tests run there and learned that extracting the maximum amount of cash from each patient is a huge priority. Though the care was great this is procedure intensive medical care.
I can tell you that their costs are huge and when the limited staff will mean bankruptcy because it is a high volume business model.
Such insanity
True.
Is there ANYTHING that actors, politicians and sportsball heroes DON'T know?
I was thinking the same sort of thing.
If they could start medical services of and by people who valued freedom.
I’d sooner go to them than any ordinary medical establishment types.
CNN reports only 0.00001% of all health care workers are un-vaxed. These ignorant mentally challenged tiny numbers of workers make up only a microscopic number of all health workers. Such low numbers of folks not vaxed proves only brain dead Neanderthals make up the unhinged hold outs.
There! Does that sufficiently qualify for adequate stigmatizing? Or does the decimal point need to be moved several more places to the left to put enough pressure on?
The way I would do it?
Private, funded by a monthly fee. Available 24/7.
Several clinics in several RED states. Tele conferences for minor health issue.
Claiming there’s a pandemic while firing thousands of hospital workers..
I have every confidence that the % of unvaccinated Mayo employees is considerably small and insignificant. This is a non-story in my opinion.
