Health officials across the state are making a fresh call for New Yorkers to get the COVID-19 vaccine as some hospitals risk going “past capacity” amid staffing shortage and the recent spike in newly reported infections.

In upstate New York, several hospital systems are sounding alarm bells warning that many medical providers are beginning to become underwhelmed due to the number of COVID-19 patients coming through their doors and a lack of staff to treat them.

Since the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers took effect over the fall, some hospitals have lost staffers en masse, which has caused for some to become overwhelmed as the state contends with a winter surge of newly reported infections that could rival that of 2020.

“Let me be blunt," Howard Fritz, chief medical officer at Glens Falls Hospital in upstate New York wrote in a statement with other hospital administrators in Warren County.

These staff members that got booted worked without being vaccinated for almost two years. They were tested daily...

Why do they have to be vaccinated now?

Idea: staff can be provided if enough money for replacements for those experienced and dedicated nurses and others kicked out for jab proof problems.

Ask BLM to fund the replacements and training.

‘In the air there’s a feeling of.. lock downs.’

indeed; and the idiots among us, mostly female, will be begging the governors to pull the trigger again...

I detest people who think I should participate in their psychoses...

Because there is no outpatient treatment protocol. Not so much as to take Vitamins C & D to prevent coronavirus and zinc & Ivermectin for patients who have been diagnosed but don’t yet need hospitalization. And the obvious, of course, firing healthcare workers who refuse the jab.

Sounds like they shot themselves in the foot.

Many lower paid and overworked health care workers are not going to tolerate being treated like cattle for medical experiments ordered by their bosses.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

Yes. In Croatia, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy and elsewhere they have mobs battling police and tear gas in protests.

Inadvertently and from the old hippie side, this 1969 song by Thunderclap Newman seems prescient. From the movie The Magic Christian with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr as his son.

Something in the Air

Lock up the streets and houses
Because there’s something in the air

We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Hand out the arms and ammo
We’re going to blast our way through here
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
