And who also pushed potentially dangerous and unproven off-label medications for COVID, as well as suggest injecting household disinfectants as a possible cure. I remember the couple who, after hearing Trump and his sycophants continuously push HQC, ate fish tank cleaner because it had "chloroquine" in the name (the guy died IIRC). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 5 minutes ago, China said: Get the vaccine or get fired? In Shenandoah Valley, some nurses choose termination. They were hard to miss on the corner of a busy four-way intersection at the entrance to Winchester Medical Center: a group of about 20 people - many of them nurses, some in scrubs - protesting the hospital's recent coronavirus vaccine mandate. Some were on a quasi-strike, skipping a day of work to stand on the side of the road in scorching heat, holding signs that demanded, "NO FORCED VACCINATION." Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. A 16-year-old son of a health-care worker yelled on loop, "Honk for medical freedom!" and many did. A firetruck honked. An EMT gave a thumbs-up. An ambulance bleeped its sirens and truck driver after truck driver yanked on their horns - until every so often, an angry voice cut through the traffic and a middle finger jutted out the car window. "'I hope you all get fired!" one driver yelled as he passed the unvaccinated protesters. "We're going to!" one woman responded. "You'll need us next week!" The nurses' employer, Valley Health, the parent company of Winchester Medical Center, had given them an ultimatum: Get the shot or face termination. And those standing on the street corner Tuesday had already made up their minds. Valley Health announced a vaccine mandate for its 6,300 employees at its six locations on July 19, while offering religious and medical exemptions for eligible applicants. The hospital system joins a growing number of medical institutions, universities, governments and companies that have turned to employee vaccine requirements to ensure the safest possible workplaces as the highly contagious delta variant ushers in another deadly wave. For the majority of Valley Health employees, the policy was not a problem; 75 percent are fully vaccinated, the company said.

Ever been to Winchester? not one piece of that story surprised me. Also to be fair… you should be expecting the same thing in fairfax/Alexandria/etc pretty soon. the hospitals aren’t ****ing around. And some area deadlines are coming soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s frustrating to me, that these people are allowed to have a platform. And then, one specific news agency, every time they have someone on, I’m not a doctor, but the vaccines don’t work. Or I’m not an epidemiologist, but vaccines are going to give you a third nipple and make you sterile. Come on. That, to me?

But in general, younger people have lower vaccination rates. Largely because they don’t feel like they are at risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long it takes for something like that to change. Edit: by 'something like that' i mean the perception that 'younger people are relatively ok against the virus' 36 minutes ago, Califan007 said: “Gen Z is relying on this,” Rivera told Breer, referring to a phone. “And you got some, quite frankly, ****ing assholes that are putting a bunch of misinformation out there, leading people to die.

The Evil Genius Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Suspect GenZ largely not being able to get the shot until May/June (in some states) might also effect the numbers.
