The problem has been going on for six years, Dr. Gary Davidson says.. An emergency room physician from Alberta has claimed that the hospital capacity crisis in his province was “created,” is nothing new, and is not from COVID-19 patients. “We have a crisis, and we have a crisis because we have no staff, because our staff quit, because they’re burned out, they’re not burnt out from COVID,” said Dr. Gary Davidson who works as an emergency doctor in Red Deer. “So, it has nothing to do with COVID, it’s been going on for six years, and it was created.”...

Hospitals and nursing homes in New York are bracing for the possibility that a statewide COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers could lead to staff shortages when it takes effect Monday. Doctors and nurses — and also support staff, like food service workers and cleaners — have been given until Sept. 27 to get at least their first vaccine shot in one of the nation's most aggressive plans to protect patients. With just days left to go before the deadline, many still hadn't. That left the prospect of potentially thousands of health care workers being forced off the job...

A group of federal workers and contractors filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government over COVID-19 vaccination mandates that were announced earlier this month by President Joe Biden. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Washington district court, is asking a court to declare unlawful Biden’s executive order and a Department of Defense memorandum in August mandating all military members get the vaccine. Lawyers argue that members of the Christian faith are required “to refuse a medical intervention, including a vaccination, if his or her informed conscience comes to this sure judgment,” and it further stipulates that “naturally acquired immunity provides greater...

A sign appearing to threaten violence on anyone attempting to enforce a vaccine mandate has been spotted in Tennessee. The anti-vaccination message was highlighted by local news source The Tennessee Holler, which shared a video to Twitter showcasing the digital display. It starts by showing a picture of a hand holding a syringe alongside a message stating: "Force a shot on us?" The image then switches to that of a gun being pointed directly at the viewer, accompanied by the caption: "We force a shot on you!" It then changes again, this time to a message written in yellow text...

It’s a rule in the national media that vaccine hesitancy is worthy of shame and scorn, right up until it collides with their most precious cause, the Black Lives Matter movement.Hesitant (white) nurses? Outcast.Hesitant (white) Facebook moms? Shun.Hesitant (white) Trump supporters? Guillotine.But there’s oddly been no prescription for the Black Lives Matter crew in New York who are accusing the city of racial discrimination by mandating vaccines for public, indoor activity.Hawk Newsome, the co-founder and chairman of Black Lives Matter Greater New York, was quoted Saturday in the New York Times saying that restaurants “are using vaccine mandates to enforce...

Attorneys argue United Airlines' handling of its new vaccine rule violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.. .... United in August said that more than half of its 67,000 U.S.-based employees who weren't vaccinated in August would be required to get the vaccine by Sept. 27, but made an exception for those with medical and religious reasons, which employees argue has not been the case. The six employee plaintiffs say United Airlines has failed to approve accommodation requests regarding the vaccine and instead offered six years of unpaid leave for those wishing not to get the vaccine. We filed this...

State lawmakers and corporate attorneys have been chomping at the bit to take the Biden administration to court after the new vaccine mandates. Biden announced executive changes last week, which would reportedly affect 100 million Americans. ........................ “Already we’ve had companies and states indicate they are going to file suit. This is going to be a big payday for lawyers unfortunately, but it will get the case to court right away,” he stated. “I suspect that within a month, the Supreme Court will issue a preliminary decision on whether or not a president, as distinguished in Congress, can impose a...

Here is a link to an article from last year about a DARPA created product that will monitor your blood for Covid infection. It is a microchip that you will take under your skin to alert you at the first signs of infection. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/last-pandemic-science-military-60-minutes-2021-04-11/ It is not a stretch to believe that after the government mandated vaccines end up failing, the government will decide they need to mandate these implanted sensors "to keep us safe". This is my question for those that took the vaccine not believing they needed it for health reasons but rather for convenience, social pressure, job...

A North Carolina health care system said it suspended hundreds of its employees after the firm implemented a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, adding that workers who refuse to get vaccinated after five days will be fired.“Beginning this week, approximately 375 team members—across 15 hospitals, 800 clinics and hundreds of outpatient facilities—have been confirmed to be non-compliant and are not able to report to work,” stated a press release from Novant Health, which is based in North Carolina but operates in other states.“They will have an opportunity to comply over a five day, unpaid suspension period,” the release said. “If a team...

Dr. Anthony Fauci said he favors COVID-19 vaccination mandates in schools, weeks ahead of the expected approval of the vaccine for kids ages 5-11. Children under 12 aren’t eligible to get jabbed yet, but federal regulators are likely to OK the Pfizer-BioNTech for use in kids 5 and up as early as October, Fauci said Monday. “I know there’s a lot of pushback against mandates,” the White House chief medical adviser told MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson. “But, I think we’re in such an emergency situation with the 150,000 cases that we’re having each day.” Fauci, who has become a favorite target...

Skiers will be required to wear masks while using enclosed ski lifts and show proof of vaccination or a negative test when purchasing a ticket, according to Reuters. “This year there will definitely be winter holidays in Austria,” Austria Tourism Minister Elizabeth Koestringer said, according to Reuters. “We have developed strict rules for a safe winter.” Tourism makes up about 5% of Austria’s economic output, and it is still unclear...

Bowing to the threat of legal action against it, one Alabama hospital has rescinded its requirement that all staff be vaccinated against the coronavirus. UAB Hospital in Birmingham said it will wait to learn how the federal vaccine mandates announced by President Joe Biden play out before imposing any requirement, according to WBRC-TV. Last week, the Alabama Center for Law and Liberty said the hospital was violating state law, according to Al.com. The letter said the state’s ban on vaccine passports means government entities cannot require anyone to disclose vaccine information. “As the Supreme Court of Alabama has recognized, UAB...

About 100 people stood in the rain on Saturday to protest vaccine mandates in front of a hospital in Columbus, Mississippi. Nurse Amber Anders organized the rally, one of many that have been held throughout the state. “My biggest frustration with this is that I know I have natural immunity, so I don’t need the vaccine,” Anders told The Epoch Times. Her hospital has an Oct. 31 deadline that—if not implemented—will result in the loss of its Medicare and Medicaid certification. As a nurse, she said she’s seen fully vaccinated people being hospitalized for COVID-19. “If it’s not working like...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reminding the public and health care providers that results from currently authorized SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests should not be used to evaluate a person’s level of immunity or protection from COVID-19 at any time, and especially after the person received a COVID-19 vaccination.

As a new semester begins amid a resurgence of the coronavirus, 26 of the 50 largest public university campuses in the U.S. are not mandating that students be vaccinated, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. Approaches on enforcement vary widely even among universities that do have vaccine mandates, with some offering leniency for students who opt out and others expelling those who do not comply. Administrators are emphasizing high numbers for student vaccinations as key to bringing some normalcy back to campus and keeping instruction in classrooms rather than online. Where mandates face political opposition, schools are relying...

New York City started enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate Monday, with de Blasio warning that “there’ll be consequences” for those who do not follow the rules.
