They were heroes last year. Now they're being fired

The CEO's of Pfizer and Moderna must be buying up Hunter Biden paintings. How else to explain it?

Last year there was not enough praise for doctors and nurses who risked their lives to treat those infected with COVID. By June of last year at least 600 health care workers had perished from COVID. Today many health care workers decided that they would rather not be vaccinated.

They're being crucified for that.

No one better knows what being vaccinated or not means than health care workers and many would still prefer not to be vaccinated. Some resist for religious reasons, some fear the possible side effects more than the virus, some have had COVID and have natural immunity. They want the choice.

But here comes the Biden bulldozer flattening not the curve, but those very health care workers so desperately needed right now. In may cases this will be a crushing blow to low income communities

These shortages are forcing some hospitals to shut down or scale back on healthcare services like delivering babies. In at least one known case, hospital rooms aren't receiving clean linens and the cafeteria is unable to serve hot food because of staff shortage.

Brownfield Regional Medical Center in Texas may close down if the federal vaccine mandate is enforced because so many staff will have to be fired, according to KCBD in Lubbock.

"[P]robably 20 to 25 percent of my staff will have to go away if that's the case," said Jerry Jasper, CEO at Brownfield Regional Medical Center.

The hospital cannot afford to lose its Medicare and Medicaid money either, since it makes up 80-85% of their funding.

"It's huge in our rural community as all the other rural communities," Jasper said. "We all have high poverty levels and stuff like that, so a lot of Medicaid usage in our communities and stuff like that."

Hospitals are ceasing the delivery of babies and shutting down elective surgeries and in some cases, needed surgeries.
Gundersen Health System, based in La Crosse, Wisc., has seen about 15% of its 7,600 employees choose to not get vaccinated, according to Wisconsin Spotlight. The health system announced in August that all employees must be vaccinated by Nov. 1 or they will be fired.

...

"We've never seen a staffing situation this bad, and that's from people who have worked here for 20, 30 years," according to the nurse. "If you look at the lower-wage staff, laundry, custodial, kitchen, we have a lot of vacancies, and it's really impacting patient care. Rooms can't get clean towels and sheets. The cafeteria is serving cold cut sandwiches and peanut butter and jelly because they don't have enough people to serve hot meals."

The crisis is about to go nuclear on a national scale. To make matters even worse, those New York health care workers who are being fired will be denied unemployment benefits.

This is beyond appalling. These are the people who in many cases gave their lives last year to treat others and they're being crapped upon. They're being scapegoated. There is no evidence these decisions threaten anyone else in a hospital setting.

No surprise. Leftists will abuse anyone, even emergency responders and critical healthcare workers for their cause.

Create a healthcare crisis and then announce that the healthcare system has failed. Proclaim that this would not have happened in a socialized medicine system and then push like crazy to get one.

The left will betray anyone for anything any time.

There is no loyalty in that group.

The left loves whining about slavery—until they try to impose it on everyone else.

CVS, Walgreens, Food Lion, Home Depot also have “heroes”! At least that’s what the signs out front say. “Heroes Work Here”.
I mowed my lawn today. That makes me a hero!!

Infuriating to minimize a word appropriate for survivors of Pearl Harbor, D-Day, battles in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and pin it on a burger flipper at Wendy’s.

American Genocide occurring and the US Congress does nothing to stop it. How long will the American people put up with this? How many have to die or lose their jobs before this insanity is stopped? Looks and smells like Hitler’s Germany to me. The American people better wake up to reality immediately.

...I have a hard time believing that.

That would be the democrat party you’re talking about.
