I have my doubts we will go that far. But who knows. It IS a slippery slope.
First the puppies, then the peeps.

You are currently celebrating the mass firing of health workers in the name of health

I'm hoping someone will explain to them the vaccine doesn't hurt and will help to save lives.

I guess expecting anything other than crickets for a 6th time was too ambitious of an ask

they underestimated how clever the ccp was in designing a virus that was so charismatic it would attract a group of ideological supporters approaching 70 million in this country...but that's ok we have ways um incentives to bring them into line

That's like asking a cop who was shot at and who returned fire "Why don't you believe your bullet proof vest protects you?"
A bullet proof vest is a great thing that makes being involved in a gun fight safer. Does it make it safe? No. You can still get shot and killed.
The vaccine is similar. It makes you safer where Covid is concerned but it doesn't make it safe. Just like people wearing bullet proof vests can get shot and killed, vaccinated people can still get Covid and die.

LOL yes and me wearing a bullet proof vest will protect you

a virus is different from a bullet...it can go from person to person...it is a contagious disease...a bullet doesn't do that

I'm not the one who made the dumb bullet vest analogy.
But I think it's hilarious that you don't think the vaccine protects you while you demand others get the vaccine so you feel protected

Thousands of health care workers in New York got inoculated against Covid-19 ahead of Monday’s deadline, helping the state avoid a worst-case scenario of staffing shortages at hospitals and nursing homes.
Health officials across the state reported that employees had rushed to get vaccinated before Monday, avoiding being suspended or getting fired. New York has 600,000 health care workers.
Statewide, the vaccination rate for hospital employees rose by Monday night to 92 percent of workers having received at least one dose, according to preliminary data from the governor’s office. The rate for nursing homes also jumped to 92 percent on Monday, from 84 percent five days earlier.
Many nursing homes were facing serious staffing shortages before the mandate, making any new staff reductions potentially dangerous.
In the New York City public hospital system, more than 8,000 workers were unvaccinated a week ago. But by Monday morning that number had dropped to 5,000 — just over 10 percent of the work force. Although those unvaccinated employees were not permitted to work, city officials said that they felt they could manage the gaps.
In Rochester, officials at Strong Memorial Hospital placed a two-week pause on scheduling elective procedures and warned patients to expect longer wait times for routine appointments as the deadline loomed last week. But on Monday they said that they had been able to bring up their staff vaccination rate to 95.5 percent, from 92 percent last week, meaning that fewer than 300 employees out of 16,000 will be fired if they don’t relent.
“Some are still very scared,” said Kathleen Parrinello, the hospital’s chief operating officer. “So they need hand-holding and reassurance.” Other employees, she said, had told her that they were not convinced that they should get vaccinated but also did not want to lose their jobs.
