New York braces for healthcare staff shortages as the deadline to get vaccinated draws near

Monday is the deadline for New York healthcare workers to get vaccinated or they will lose their job.

Many people in the Southern Tier have stated they will take the risk. Protests earlier this month drew hundreds of people, with some of them telling 12 News they would rather the vaccine be a matter of personal choice.

Hospitals around the state and New York Governor Kathy Hochul are bracing for the staffing shortage that will follow.

Hochul released her comprehensive plan to address the issue Saturday morning.

She says she will sign an executive order if necessary to declare a State of Emergency in the state to bring in healthcare professionals from other states and countries to alleviate the staffing crisis.

She says recent graduates, retired healthcare workers and medically-trained national guard members will also be called upon.

Hochul says as of September 22nd, 84% of hospital employees in the state were vaccinated. Leaving 16% without the shot and potentially without a job come Monday.

In nursing homes and adult care facilities, 23% and 19% were still unvaccinated as of Thursday respectively.

Only 16% are non-jabbed. Doesn’t sound like a crisis to me unless you are fudging the 84%. Maybe it’s really 40% non-jabbed and the majority of the 40% are real health care workers .... not the lard butts in the front office, or the hall monitors posing as supervisors, or the accounting weenies, etc.

What if some hospitals have to close their doors because they fired too many of their staff?

They demand two jabs to help with health concerns but the trained hospital and clinic staff kicked out for no proof leave and people get sick or have mysterious symptoms without any access to medical care.

Which means more illness and death (didn’t know of heart vascular blockage but couldn’t get test, etc.)

When Black Panther Party “officer” Huey P. Newton was in a gunfight he had to sit on the floor in the hospital hallway and hold his stomach because he didn’t have clearance for treatment from the California Health Care System. No card with him.
Those days are back due to staffing crisis.

Lucky we are getting all this high skilled labor from Afghanistan and Haiti to ease the shortages.

If only uneducated, anti-science rubes are resisting the vaccines, why are so many health professionals resisting them?

They’re getting what the majority of them voted for.

Hang in there.....Haitian, Afghani and Philippine help is on the way.

“She says she will sign an executive order if necessary to declare a State of Emergency...”

A state of emergency of her own making!

Biden has made federal Medicare/Medicaid funding of health care employers dependent on vaccination.

It’s not just power-crazed New York officials that are insisting on vaccination.

The unvaccinated CNAs can get similar-paying jobs, the unvaccinated nurses generally can’t.

It takes seven to 10 days for Covid vaccination to kick in.

A person vaccinated on Monday will not be immunized by the vaccine until the following week.

Sorry, kids! Executive emergencies granting Governors dictatorial powers are the New Normal. Only, of course, until the emergency is over. We’ll tell you when that is.

Why do they think retired people would work in a hospital? Who is going to train the new graduates?
The same thing is happening in WA state. They are asking retired people to work, and I say no way! I doubt many retired people are willing to risk their health . That includes me.
These states are also relying on the National Guard. If they are medically trained, they are already working in healthcare.
If you take foreign workers from the Philippines, they still have to pass the NCLEX exam. That would take time.

They are intent on collapsing the medical system, and among other ideas, will possibly make use of UN medical staff. Anything to get enemies within the gates. Military medical staff.

When they got rid of Cuomo, I said what’s the point? They’ll just install another leftist tyrant and that’s just what they did. Kathy HOchul, who now says if you get fired for refusing the poison, she will also stop your unemployment checks......
