New York Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital emergency room ceases operation after employees refuse to get vaccinated
The Post Millenial ^ | 11/25/2021

Staff at the the Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital in New York were given two options, get vaccinated, or be barred from working. Some chose the latter, causing a freestanding emergency room to cease operations.

The Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital's freestanding emergency room in Long Beach has temporarily ceased operation after a New York state requirement that medical workers had to be vaccinated was not followed by all employees.

The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH)’s vaccine mandate was announced in August by then-governor Andrew Cuomo, and as The Daily Wire reports, exemptions were few and far between.

"The Emergency Department in Long Beach operated by Mount Sinai South Nassau," the hospital said in a November 22 statement, "will be closed temporarily as of 3 PM today due to nursing staff shortages."

"The staffing shortage and closure of the LBED is a result of the Hospital’s compliance with the NYSDOH’s mandate ... requiring the suspension of all staff working under temporary religious exemptions who could not show proof today of receiving a first dose of COVID-19 vaccination or a valid medical exemption from receiving it."

"We regret having to take this step but the safety of our patients is always our No. 1 priority," the statement continues. "This closure should not be interpreted as anything beyond what it is – a temporary measure designed to relieve current staffing challenges in our Emergency Department. Our nurses, physicians and support staff have been on the frontlines of the pandemic for more than 21 months. We will continue to be there for our patients." In the mean time, patients seeking emergency care are being instructed to visit the hospital's main campus in Oceanside, NY.

That's weird.

Why would experienced health care workers refuse a "safe and effective" vaccine? I mean, the vaccine is Science, plus, it's got electrolytes.   winking face

Kinda hard to staff stuff when you go from calling people heroes to calling them plague rats deserving of hatred literally overnight

Long Beach is infested with Dems so they put the screws to the Governor and it’s reopening tomorrow.

Resistance can work.

The finance chief is probably going nuts because the emergency room is the big money maker, and you probably can’t cease operations more than a couple of weeks. They will have to lay off vaccinated doctors at some point.

The hospital said at the time of its closure that an ambulance will be stationed around the clock at the closed location for the duration of the closure to take patients in need of emergency care to the hospital’s main campus in Oceanside -- a trauma center designated facility five miles away, which takes about 15-20 minutes to reach by car.

So, some people will die or get more messed up by late treatment.

I'll bet Goobernor Kathy and her family don't have to worry about such trivialities...

I work in the mental health field. Our office has about a hundred people working in it, give or take a few. As a healthcare provider we fall under the vaccine mandate for everyone who's getting funding from Medicare/Medicaid.

On the day before Thanksgiving I was told that we are losing 10 to 17 employees because those people refuse to get the "vaccine" shot. Among them are our switchboard operator, a woman who is like a surrogate grandmother to a lot of us, and FOUR nurses (out of 15 or so).

The head of our office is telling us we may have to pull double or triple duty while they try to find people to fill those positions.

All of this because of a mandate for something that doesn't really work.

But hey, no more meant tweets!!

Can't be.

Why we have people on this very board telling us that 90% of people are vaccinated and only us few hold outs are left and we need to surrender now.

So this story must be sheer lies.

No medical person would refuse to have this wonderful concoction made of only the finest murdered babies pumped into their bodies.

Why people are so happy to get it that they are coming back again and again for more and more murdered baby parts.

It is truly a modern marvel.

Tell them to go to hell. Don’t pull double or triple shifts. It’s the least you could do if that operator really is like a grandma to you. I don’t want to judge but all of you who love grandma shouldn’t show up to work at all otherwise you’re just talking shit.

There's only one way to respond to an order to work a double or triple shift because others have refused to be vaxxed (but you did submit to the jab):

"I'm sorry, but I'm feeling really awful after my third shot. My arm is throbbing, and my vision is blurry. Seeya next week... maybe."

So many people are dying because they can’t get treated. Those pushing the mandate are guilty of murder.
