"Unexpectedly"?

No. The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again.

[cableguymn]

that’s biden levels of stupid right there.

what did they think was going to happen?

[MercyFlush]

Can’t wait for some idiot judge to try to order people back to work AFTER they were fired.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

18 months ago, these nurses were heroes. Dancing and twerking in viral videos.
Notice that no one had any problems with them not being vaccinated, until now.
Sorry, no sympathy here. They got used and spat out by the Left because they no longer fit their narrative anymore.

[pepsionice]

They will come around in four weeks, and try to contact the fired nurses. If I were them, I’d ask for four-thousand dollar signing bonus, and a guaranteed contract with no Covid firings possible.

[9YearLurker]

You still seem to be assuming...

[mewzilla]

Gee, the headline is actually accurate.

This is a shortage, NOT a scarcity.

[Zeddicus]

Gee, didn’t see that coming.

I’m an RN in Florida. No way I’m getting these shots. They’ll have to fire me.

[mewzilla]

They expected to be eaten last.

Stupid of them.

[rb22982]

Seems like a reasonable request and I agree they will eventually have to quietly backtrack on this.

[Sirius Lee]

Nose. Face. Spite.

[The Fop]

I was totally creeped out by the 7:00 p.m. daily hand clapping for the “front line heroes”. That was the first sign that COVID is a choreographed brainwashing operation.

But apparently, lots of people enjoy being brainwashed. It makes them feel like they’re part of something. I’ll bet 98% of the people who were doing the 7 pm clapping for the nurses last Spring were the first ones to run out and get the vax.

[spacejunkie2001]

don’t you find it interesting (pathetic, really) that the White House AND the CDC are not mandating the vaccine?

Telling as hell.....

[wally_bert]

At a minimum.

[katie didit]

Yup.
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

[entropy12]

There are 100,000 nurses in Philippines who would be thrilled to work in Houston hospitals.

[copaliscrossing]

So I heard that in Washington State, King Inslee has decreed that health care workers fired for not getting the jab are not eligible for unemployment benefits. Talk about putting the squeeze on.

Mrs. Copaliscrossing works at a nursing home and she said the part that isn't getting talked about are all the "non-medical" support staff like cooks, janitors, security, etc at these medical facilities also being required to get the jab. They simply just say "peace out" and go get the same kind of job at a non-medical facility. Now what? What a cluster@#%^&*^%@

[Cold Heart]

Worth repeating daily

White Hut and CCPCDC not mandating vaccine on their employees.

[Osage Orange]

I'm an RRT in OK.

No way I'm taking the VAXX...I've been asked 3 times....Declined 3 times.

I was up in the grill of a 19 patient that ended up coding and dying....I was offered the Regeneron Monoclonal Antibodies....

I'm six days out since "exposure" I feel fine....I've had the 19 long time ago...never really sick. I've antibodies....

I ain't taking the VAXX
