North Carolina Hospital System Suspends Hundreds of Employees After COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate
Epoch Times ^ | 09/21/2021 | Jack Phillips

A North Carolina health care system said it suspended hundreds of its employees after the firm implemented a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, adding that workers who refuse to get vaccinated after five days will be fired.

“Beginning this week, approximately 375 team members—across 15 hospitals, 800 clinics and hundreds of outpatient facilities—have been confirmed to be non-compliant and are not able to report to work,” stated a press release from Novant Health, which is based in North Carolina but operates in other states.

“They will have an opportunity to comply over a five day, unpaid suspension period,” the release said. “If a team member remains non-compliant after this suspension period, he or she will have their employment with Novant Health terminated.”

The firm then claimed that about 98.5 percent of its workforce are compliant with the policy, meaning they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Workers who started a two-dose vaccine series have until Oct. 15 to get the second shot, Novant said.

Employees who have an exemption are required to get weekly COVID-19 testing, as well as wear N95 masks and eye protection, it added.

In a similar move, 125 workers with Indiana University Health, the biggest hospital system in the state, parted ways with the company, according to a news release issued last week. Those workers, it said, did not comply with the firm’s vaccine mandate.

So far there has been no recourse through the courts, they have fully embraced the covid tyranny, paying no mind to those who have natural immunity. The words of Jefferson should be becoming much clearer to everyone.

So, now the ICU’s/hospitals will be REALLY FULL...since available beds are related to staffing levels, right?

“375 team members—across 15 hospitals, 800 clinics and hundreds of outpatient facilities”

375 employees in an organization that large is a drop in the bucket, probably something like 1% of their employees.

Nurses make the Hospital function, kinda the way the Chiefs make the Navy function...

Maybe they will train the Haitian bridge-dwellers to do patient care...

"The words of Jefferson should be becoming much clearer to everyone."

There are times when that thought scares me. And there are times when I think it can't come soon enough.

Every one of these people should file lawsuits and tie these companies up in court.

This is just a pleasant little bonus for the globalists: There are many ways to deprive the peasants of their precious health care.

"Every one of these people should file lawsuits and tie these companies up in court."

For everybody that has natural immunity at this point, a giant class action lawsuit comes to mind.

It does.

IMO, this is just priming for it so people get used to the idea of being denied their rights unless they submit and comply with government dictates.

The jab theory of pandemic management is about to ‘fall’ apart,
As the northern hemisphere trades seasons with Australia.
These health care hero’s can not be replaced, and will soon be hired back.
