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

Posted on 09/21/2021 9:34:40 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

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.

Buying and selling. Here, “mark” is vs 16. But read whole chapter. Note: CHAPTER 13.

For all concerned about Roman Catholic Church, “666” is on the hat of the Pope. And that church is supporting the COVID agenda and vaccine forcing.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Revelation​​, Chapter 13

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

That might depend on how many workers have already quit because of the mandate.

At one of our rural local hospitals, the head of radiology is having to suit up and do all the patient scans for a few weeks now because the staff quit rather than take the JAB.

What are they going to do when the JABBED staff starts dropping?

Most unlikely. Whether it be clinic or hospital there is a nationwide staffing shortage. A very serious one. Lots of folks who could have already left. I am one of them.
Good news, you do not have any freedom lovers treating you there.. only sheeple. Sounds like a great place to be heard and listened to as a patient, right.

An article from the local news outlet (Virginia/TN) about the nursing shortage...OMG!

Notice NO MENTION of mandates being responsible...young nurses worried about 'sterility issues'. Roughly 50% of nurses have taken the shot locally.

What in tarnation makes you think 666 is on the hat of the Pope? Our current Pope may be embarrassing but 666 is not on his hat. The Catholic Church may be embarrassing itself with its liberalism and refusal to address the child abuse, but it is a more true religion than the majority of churches.

A nurse friend of mine who has been treating COVID patients for the last year recently told me the last place you want to be if you have COVID is in the hospital.

If it was about helping and saving people, they would never do this.

So far there has been no recourse through the courts,

"Judges" are black-robed tyrants. An archaic throwback to lower nobility.

Won’t be missed that much

11 hospitals, 13 hospital campuses, and hundreds of clinical practices.

It is one of the nation’s leading academic health care systems, a $5.4
billion enterprise, with more than 33,000 employees

http://scripturetruthministries.com/2018/03/26/calculating-and-identifying-the-mark-of-the-beast-666/

From the above site and others
(duckduckgo: search: “666 on the hat of the pope”)


Satan’s 666-numerical signature is represented in various manifestations. This article will present some examples in which Satan’s 666-signature is already present in this world, and how to calculate and identify his number.

REVELATION 13:18:
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Scripture instructs those with wisdom to CALCULATE the number of the beast.

The Antimessiah (Antichrist) and the False Prophet will rule from Rome. These are all the Roman numbers: MDCLXVI. Add up (calculate) all the different Roman numerals and the total = 1,666. Exclude the Roman numeral M = 1,000 and the total equals 666.

D (500) + C (100) + L (50) + X (10) + V (5) + I (1) = 666

REVELATION 13:1:
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

What is this “blasphemous name” on the “heads” of the beast? It is the crown worn upon the heads of the Catholic popes throughout the ages that bears a blasphemous inscription with a Roman numerical equivalent that equals 666. Vicarius Filii Dei (Latin: Vicar or representative of the Son of God) is inscribed on the Catholic pope’s crown and is the blasphemous name spoken of in Revelation 13:1. The Catholic pope is not Messiah’s (Christ’s) vicar or representative on Earth.

The Roman numerals in VICARIVS FILII DEI are (CAPS) VICarIVs fILII DeI. Remove the Roman numerals from the Roman letters: VICIV ILII DI. ‘V’ is substituted for ‘U,’ as U is used in English, but not in the Roman alphabet. If you add up (calculate) the Roman numerical value inscribed upon the Catholic pope’s crown, you come up with 666. VICARIVS FILII DEI = 5+1+100+1+5+1+50+1+1+500+1 = 666.

The roulette wheel, representing coveting through gambling, has a numerical equivalent of 666. If you add up (calculate) all the numbers of the roulette wheel, they = 666.
0+00+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20+21 +22+23+24+25+26+27+28+29+30+31+32+33+34+35+36 = 666.

666 symbols are present in many business designs and logos, in subtle and not-so-subtle places in this world. 666 patterns appear on every barcode used in retail buying and selling of merchandise. The barcodes are marked with the first bar, middle bar, and last barcode line marked by a 6, and the three bar lines together represent 666.

Scripture prophecy reveals that the day will come when all people will have to receive a mark or implant representing 666 in order to buy and sell. Believers are required to refuse this mark of the beast, even if it means martyrdom death.

REVELATION 13:16-18, 20:4:

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666…
Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Yeshua (Jesus) and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah (Christ) for a thousand years.”

Or take unproven treatment that has unknown side effects and unknown long term complications.

I want to star a company and force crazy but questionable treatments on all vaccinated workers. Idk maybe aids testing, hepatitis testing, tuberculosis testing, hove testing plus social distancing/masks for both. Homos need weekly aids /std tests …. They must do something readily recognized as failing any of these new mandates.

I’m open to ideas on other communicable diseases.

You guys remember that leaked video of those North Carolina Novant hospital admins trying to lie about Covid numbers to "make it more scary for the public"? Well, Novant just fired 175 hospital workers for not getting vaxxed. To fight the pandemic. That they are on tape faking.
