As tens of thousands of unvaccinated New York healthcare workers are set to be fired on Monday once the state’s COVID-19 vaccination deadline kicks in, Gov. Kathy Hochul has a plan for a potential staffing shortage: a statewide state of emergency.
Hochul said preparations were underway Saturday to make an emergency declaration, clearing the way for healthcare workers not licensed in New York to fill in the gaps of those terminated. The declaration will also allow workers from other countries, recent graduates, and retirees to practice in New York.
“We are still in a battle against COVID to protect our loved ones, and we need to fight with every tool at our disposal,” Hochul said in a statement. “I commend all of the health care workers who have stepped up to get themselves vaccinated, and I urge all remaining health care workers who are unvaccinated to do so now so they can continue providing care.”
State data shows that 84 percent of the state’s 450,000 hospital workers are vaccinated, along with 83 percent of its 145,400 nursing home workers. Even still, that means as many as 94,000 workers are unvaccinated, leaving a potentially dire shortfall in workers from Monday. Many who refused to get the shot have argued it violates their personal freedoms.

Anybody with any sense is staying as far away from hospitals as possible.
So the Democrat hochul is union busting and bringing in scabs?
My how the Rat party has changed.
And just like in Spring of 2020, any healthcare workers gullible enough to help those ungrateful turds will be taxed by the state for their trouble.
good luck with that
Grimly funny.
Like the 9/11 killers who learned how to take off but never learned how to land a big plane.
These new ones can open a body by slicing and slashing it but haven't the foggiest idea how to sew them back up again.
I don’t believe it when they give numbers like 84 percent are vaccinated . When they fire all the unvaccinated will they blame the unvaccinated when the you know what hits the fan ?
“The declaration will also allow workers from other countries, recent graduates, and retirees to practice in New York.”
And New York will tax the hell out of visiting medical workers!
This is how they’ll kill even more people.
Jab required, qualifications and experience preferred.
Union bosses won’t care
Healthcare workers that worked in our hospitals in the beginning of the Covid pandemic are true heroes. No one had any idea exactly how contagious or deadly this virus was. So all the people that worked for a year and a half will now be fired if they don’t take a vaccine that has emergency authorization. Leftist politicians are among the most disgusting people in the world.
So, New York will steal vaxed healthcare workers from other states, just like they did ventilators? It’s all about ME!!!
It’s so preposterous I don’t know where to begin.
Vaccines that aren’t vaccines, fake vaccines that arent tested ,medical personnel who aren’t licensed, Remember the law and when it mattered?
Another Democrat-created “crisis.” 🙄
Why not? Cuomo caused the deaths of thousands in nursing homes putting COVID infected people in there.
“So, New York will steal vaxed healthcare workers from other states, just like they did ventilators? It’s all about ME!!!”
The sooner a state sets their firing deadline, the better off they’ll be.
Traveling RNs that are vaxxed will be making BANK. I predict $100/hr by Thanksgiving.
