These People Should Be Required to Get Vaccinated; Cases are surging. We need to maximize the number of inoculated frontline workers and students.
NY Times ^ | April 16, 2021 | Ezekiel J. Emanuel (of course), Aaron Glickman and Amaya Diana

The next coronavirus surge seems to be underway... The causes of this pronounced rush of cases — the spread of a more infectious B.1.1.7 variant and lockdown fatigue — are not going away.

We need to sharply reduce coronavirus infections to turn the tide and quell the pandemic. The best hope is to maximize the number of people vaccinated, especially among those who interact with many others and are likely to transmit the virus.

How can we increase vaccinations? Mandates.

Vaccines should be required for health care workers and for all students who plan to attend in-person classes this fall — including younger children once the vaccine is authorized for them by the Food and Drug Administration.

Employers should also be prepared to make vaccines mandatory for prison guards, E.M.T.s, police officers, firefighters and teachers if overall vaccinations do not reach the level required for herd immunity. Short of a mandate, these workers should be reminded that these vaccines have proved safe and are important not only for their health, but for the health of those they deal with in their jobs.

...

Mandates are the fastest way to get to herd immunity. Frontline workers should be at the start of the line.

...

None of us likes being told what to do. But getting vaccinated is not just about our personal health, but the health of our communities and country.

Health care workers are professionals whose primary obligation is to their patients’ health and well-being. Except in extreme cases, their personal preferences are secondary.

...

Similarly, all colleges and school districts should mandate that students who are authorized to receive Covid-19 vaccines get them. ... Religious or philosophical exemptions should not be allowed.

I doubt she died of covid alone and probably would have died from the flu.

Daily New Cases are down 72% in the last 96 days.

Daily Deaths are down 78% in the last 96 days.

Dividing the two, that rate would be 1.11%, the lowest it has been since the beginning (was 7.3% in mid-April 2020), so therefore that rate (whatever name you choose to put on it) is down 85% in the last 365 days, and down 15% (from 1.31% to 1.11%) in the last 96 days.

(All figures from Worldometer, using the 7-day rolling average)

Typically, the media would be singing Biden's praises for all of this, since he assumed power 88 days ago) but they absolutely cannot and will not allow one moment of good news to escape their lips at any time. Their PanicDemic must continue at all costs.

I called the BCBS nurses line and she had to get out a huge book (I heard her plop it on the desk!) and the only questions she asked me: had I been to China, did I know anyone who had, and had I traveled outside the country. The medical advice I got was to stay home for 2 weeks and go to the ER if I had SOB. I was 66 at the time with first stage hypertension, supposedly an at risk group then, but nobody wanted to examine or test me. Such BS!

Crimes against humanity! Prosecute these people to the full extent of the law.

I’m not sure where this was filmed. Anyone seen this?

Seeing an innocent being medically molested like that makes you disgusted.

Other twisted people in the past targeted the helpless, infirmed and handicapped as well. Have none of those officers in the video been taught history?

From the NYT article:

“...Religious or philosophical exemptions should not be allowed. ...”

Them’s fightin’ words...

Plus, the NYT is claiming the shots are 100% effective; they’re not.

And that the FDA will authorize them this year.
Maybe not- they’re still under EUA and it takes a year or so to get from EUA to authorized.

Anti vaxxers are culture media for a new variant.
If we get a nasty enough one things could go very badly very quickly.

I like the idea of mandates for healthcare, teachers, frontline. They can always get another job or move to another state.

Agree and leading the line should be MSM staff; administrators, journalists, reporters, news crews, hair and makeup artists, writers, producers, directors, executives, board members, etc. You know, all those ph@ckers..

In Michigan our positivity rates have last week run as high as 20%, our ICUs are 25% populated by kids under age 18.

If you haven’t experienced B117 variant, good luck.

The one great thing is none of us 60 and older are getting it or needing a bed in ICU. We were vaccinated.

I have. Its Operation Homebound. The “brown” shirts are LASD. For want of a better description it looks like it used Aktion T4 (1939 Germany) as a blueprint.
