NY state just mandated that all healthcare workers have to be vaccinated by September 27th. Of course there is a vocal minority picketing outside the main hospital I work at. However, it is interesting to see that nearly all of the doctors and a large majority of the nurses volunteered to be vaccinated months ago (along with a total of 85% of the staff). I’m noting which nurses I see interviewed by the news on the protest line because there’s no way in hell I will trust them to have anything to do with any care for my family and friends, even if they buckle and get the shot to save their job. When I say vocal majority, out of a staff of over 15,000 there’s been a little less than 100 people protesting and that includes people from other hospitals and at least one group that drove up from Pennsylvania.
