Good. I hope they can't find a job anywhere else either and get denied for unemployment.

A predicted staffing crisis in hospitals around New York state seems to have been largely averted as thousands of healthcare workers, who until now had refused vaccination, agreed to receive last minute shots rather than face potential dismissal.

The state’s deadline expired at 11 59 pm on Monday 27 September, from which point no unvaccinated person may work in a healthcare facility or nursing home. The vaccination rate last week among New York’s roughly 600 000 healthcare workers was 84%; by Monday it had risen to 92%. In New York City the number of unvaccinated health workers fell over the weekend from more than 8000 to about 5000.

The rush to vaccinate will be seen as a vindication of the approach taken by the state governor, Kathy Hochul, who refused numerous calls to grant extensions or exemptions. Hochul said on Friday that she might mobilise the National Guard to plug gaps or might recruit temporary workers from abroad.

22News learned Monday night that one State Police trooper has indicated he will resign over the vaccination mandate and that others have reached out to the MSP Human Resources to evaluate their pensions would they choose to resign or retire now.

In addition, 22News also learned that other than that one trooper, no official notification of resignations have been given to the department. The union represents 1,800 members of the State Police.

They interact directly with the public. All officers. They should be fired, not just demoted.

But then I've had enough of this crap.

A North Carolina-based hospital system announced Monday that roughly 175 unvaccinated employees were fired for failing to comply with the organization’s mandatory coronavirus vaccination policy, the latest in a series of health-care dismissals over coronavirus immunization.

Novant Health said last week that 375 unvaccinated workers — across 15 hospitals and 800 clinics — had been suspended for not getting immunized. Unvaccinated employees were given five days to comply.

Novant Health spokeswoman Megan Rivers tweeted Monday that almost 200 of the suspended workers, including those who had submitted approved exemptions, received their first dose by Friday. The hospital confirmed that the rest of the suspended employees who did not comply were fired, although the exact number of those dismissed was not specified.

“We stand by our decision to make the vaccine mandatory as we have a responsibility to protect our patients, visitors and team members, regardless of where they are in our health system,” Novant Health said in a statement.

Rivers told The Washington Post that more than 99 percent of the system’s roughly 35,000 employees have followed the mandatory vaccination program.

Off Topic

I have a nephew who recently announced he'll be losing his job because of a vaccine mandate. He's a security guard for a gated senior citizens community, a job he's had for about 10 years. I tried giving him some basic facts about hospitals being overwhelmed and the importance of the vaccines in addressing that. He responded with talk about his rights and...."needle rape." Then I tried telling him the vaccine might help him, should he catch Covid, to live to see his 15-year-old daughter (my great-niece) grow up. He reacted with anger at my attempt to "emotionally trigger" him.

So we're done. Conversation over.
