From ‘healthcare heroes’ to 2nd-class zeroes: New York hospitals sack their unvaxxed employees as police state’s jaws snap shut – By Helen Buyniski (Russia Today) / Sept 28 2021
New York has begun firing and suspending healthcare workers who refuse to get inoculated with the experimental Covid-19 shot, proving the mandate from the state that once praised its ‘frontline heroes’ is really just about power.
Monday was the deadline for New York’s healthcare workers to receive their first vaccine dose, and the state’s facade of blissful obedience has already begun to crack. While New York City Health + Hospitals head Dr. Mitchell Katz has reported that just 5% of city nurses were unvaccinated (and presumably kicked to the curb), the number across the state is significantly higher – 16%, according to Governor Kathy Hochul, who spoke on Saturday of potentially filling the staffing void with National Guard service members or out-of-state medical workers as she declared yet another statewide disaster emergency.
The state has attempted to downplay this first round of firings, presumably aware of the jarring note mass layoffs would strike against the previously ubiquitous atmosphere of support for New York’s hallowed ‘frontline workers’.
After all, the doctors, nurses, and hospital staffers themselves have done nothing wrong professionally. Some whistleblowers have expressed concern at the possibility of being separated from patients they’ve cared for for years, and many of their patients will no doubt be blindsided when their long-term careers inexplicably vanish, to be replaced with soldiers in scrubs. Some doctors and nurses have managed to hang on using religious exemptions, which may or may not hold up in court, as the state government has declared them illegitimate.
