ALBANY — The parent company of St. Peter’s Health Partners, one of the Capital Region’s largest employers and one of two dominant health care providers in the region, has mandated that all of its employees get a COVID-19 vaccination.

The news came down Thursday from Michigan-based Trinity Health, the national not-for-profit Catholic health care system that operates St. Peter’s.“At this point the colleagues within our system who are refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccination and don’t receive an approved exception, whether it’s for strongly held religious beliefs or medical condition, those colleagues will no longer be employed by our organization," said Webster.

Here we go again. The Texas Hospital that recently did this is starting a trend. Soon it will expand outside of Healthcare.

And yet, even the informed consent document says that the shot does NOT prevent you from contracting or spreading the virus.

WHY are they doing this???

A healthcare employer to boot!

If anyone would know any better it should be them!

Slowly working their way around the country so that if anyone wants to remain employed, they’ll have to be vaccinated for COVID. There are going to be only so many open positions at other similar jobs not having this requirement (for now). People trying to pay their mortgage/rent and keep food on the table are going to be stuck (no pun intended).

I believe they do this with the Flu shots, this is quite the slippery slope.

You can't fight city hall individually. They will crush you, your savings, your income. This is what SCOTUS should be protecting America from.

Sorry, but Trinity is well within their rights to do this as long as they are a PRIVATE entity.

This is no different than requiring that you pass a drug test and agree to random or periodic testing to accept employment there.

No need to be sorry, they clearly have the right to do this. Imagine how safe we would be if all private companies fired people who refused to get the shot. /s

I feel safer already! LOL.

And yes, for the record I think what they are doing is total politically correct BS, but I will defend their right to make stupid asinine policies.

No. The drug testing is to detect illegal drugs that might impair the decisions of the user while they're treating patients. Forcing employees to enroll in a drug experiment is illegal and TAKING THE SHOT DOESN'T PREVENT THE RECIPIENT FROM GETTING THE VIRUS ANYWAY. It gives them "lessened symptoms".

The CEO of St. Peter's Health Partners (Trinity Health) needs to be removed from their position (and any position) in a corporation operating in the United States. St. Peter's Health Partners / Trinity Health needs to be sanctioned and dissolved if necessary. At a minimum they cannot be allowed to continue to operate. Their behavior is no different than the korporations who committed atrocities in Nazi Germany. Forcing experimental treatment on individuals was specifically addressed in the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947.

(http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/).

"The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:"

"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision."

"The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity."

"The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury."

"Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death."

"The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment."

"During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible."

Reigning in tyrannical government is only part of the effort. Reigning in the korporations supporting such a tyrannical government is another.

I wonder if there is any correlation between people who regularly get the annual flu shots, and those who have had adverse reactions to the Covid-19 shots?
