Editor’s Commentary: When this story came across my digital desk, I was excited because I thought it would cover one of the topics I’ve been meaning to discuss further. It didn’t, but what it delivered made me even more concerned. Aden walks us through the various concrete reasons why America’s healthcare workers are dwindling at a time when we need to be increasing staff. It’s a great article.
What he didn’t cover is the more conspiratorial nature of what’s happening. During several conversations I’ve had with Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney, we shared our concerns that the push for universal injections of experimental Covid-19 drugs is primarily targeting our military, law enforcement, and healthcare professionals. Anyone who believes there’s a chance that these injections will turn into something much worse in the near future should be worried based on the industries that are at the top of our government’s injection priority list.
The Delta Variant has already demonstrated the “vaccines” are, at best, ineffective against it. Some have speculated that vaccinated people are not only more susceptible to the Delta Variant than the unvaccinated, but that the effects of this and future variants may be heightened as a result of the injections. If anyone wanted to take down America, and there are plenty of nefarious groups like the CCP who fall into that category, than getting doctors, nurses, soldiers, and cops out of the way would be at the top of their list.
Like I said, Aden’s take on this is far less conspiratorial. He looks at demonstrable facts showing that we should be concerned about our healthcare system even if we don’t think the injections are going to cripple it. Here’s Aden’s take…
Whether we’re talking about nurses, surgeons, or general practitioners, the US has already experienced a shortage of healthcare workers. Is it about to get worse? We’ve already seen the beginnings of this throughout the past two years.
In Alpine, Texas, the Big Bend Regional Medical Center briefly shut down its labor and delivery unit. Why? Not enough staff.
In Bremerton, Washington, the St. Michael Medical Center – a standalone emergency unit – was experiencing similar staffing shortages. They ended up closing indefinitely as a result.
And those two locations are not alone. We’re currently seeing doctor’s offices, clinics, and hospitals across the US temporarily shut down due to staffing shortages. [source]
Was COVID the straw that broke the camel’s back?
Compounding the issue is the fact that many medical professionals are truly exhausted. But is that solely the result of a new virus? Last September, the Wall Street Journal ran an article detailing how hospitals have trimmed staff in recent years for budgetary reasons.
Is this exhaustion on the part of health care workers solely an indicator of how bad the virus is? Or were health care workers stretched too thin before COVID hit?
When we watch commercials with exhausted nurses telling everyone to stay home and mask up, is it such a stretch to wonder if perhaps some of this is due to poor management and lack of workers? Not solely due to the virus. Selco wrote previously that it wasn’t the virus we need to worry about, but the system. Is that what we’re seeing? [source] What is causing the shortage of healthcare workers throughout the US?
Have you ever been forced to wear a mask for 12-hour shifts? It’s absolutely miserable. Dealing with patients can be hard enough at times. (Ask anybody in the healthcare industry ever).
If you want to know what it is really like to work in a COVID ward, Chuck Hudson wrote this piece in 2020. He details the layers of protective gear he and other health care workers had to don just to walk into the rooms. “Very little is talked about…so much to tell. Even the little things that the patients and the staff endure take a huge toll on us.”
Now, imagine on top of that, we now have mandates coming down the line saying workers must be vaccinated or they will no longer be permitted to work there. For many, this is the final straw. They’ve put up with masks and extreme PPE precautions over the past year. And now there are looming mandates that they get a shot? Enough is enough.
We’ve already seen a dwindling of the already small number of healthcare employees throughout the US. I would argue that America’s hospital policies have pushed many of these employees away. As has been excessively noted, long-term mask usage results in headaches, irritability, malaise, and potentially several other adverse health factors.
There are studies from Germany showing that carbon dioxide levels underneath those masks are exponentially more significant than the acceptable level. We’re liable to find out within the next 10+ years the long-term side effects of mask usage.
Their masters degrees in 16th century European transgender poetry will easily translate into the hard sciences.
They’re stealing the plot from my unwritten dystopian novel.
As planned. Just shooting for 500 million population worldwide.
They are going to turn nursing into the gig economy equivalent like Uber has done with taxis. The COVID contracts paid people big bucks so they could quit their regular positions and become disposable travel nurses. This is what has contributed to a lot of the shortages.
There isn’t a shortage of healthcare workers. Pay them what the parasite health insurance executives get paid (who do nothing of value whatsoever) and see how many you can hire.
not just hcare workers
yup
gonna be awesome.
Trust G’s plan.
The only people left in 2 years will be conservative Christians.
The liberal sheep that have been waxed will all be gone.
Time to convert all those mass and overabundance of lawyers into healthcare workers, huh? /s
“CONvid” please.
“waxed”? 😂 💉 pretty sure you intended “vaxxed”.
Waxed by the vax!
Hard to know what is true anymore but supposedly according to government statistics there are 10 million vacant jobs waiting to be filled.
vex by vax

Already know of one person “KBM’ed”(Killed By Mask).
She had to wear on 12 to 14 hours a day to operate her business. Eventually she got bacterial pneumonia > hospital > worse lung infection > died.
Yeah, masking all the time works towards achieving the Georgia Guidestones’ goal.
The local hospital chain has been paying its employees $800 to take the jab. Two of the closest have 52% and 54% vaccinated with the carrot. This same chain is paying $5K bonuses for new nurses and can’t hire them. Also lots of other positions open they can can’t fill and they are mandating vaccines for the other 50% of unvaccinated.
They are union facilities and the unions have started filing all sorts of grievances and breach of contract complaints with the labor board. Strike talks are being bandied about. Can you fire a striking medical worker for defying the jab? This is a disaster of biblical proportions in the making.
for certain, you do not want to be anywhere near a hospital
LOL the most unvaxxed are minorities. So you won’t be alone, but you will have a lot of room to spread out. Of course with 80% of the military gone, who knows what Xi and Putin will do...
Answer: yes. Two things I’ve seen. I work in healthcare. Many of my coworkers are either retiring, getting a religious exemption or looking for other work. Two. My daughter who has worked very hard in undergrad to apply for med school has decided last week to not pursue it. She refuses the vaccine. She’s gonna try PT school instead. It’s a shame.
