Mayo Clinic now confirms it fired 700 employees Tuesday who did not comply with its policy to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by Monday.
The dismissed employees make up about 1% of Mayos 73,000 workforce. Officials say while its sad to lose valuable employees, its essential to keep patients, the workforce, visitors and communities safe.
People released Tuesday can return to Mayo Clinic for future job openings if they get vaccinated.

"sad to lose valuable employees" - sounds like worthless pieces of human waste to me

A neighbor's son just got a job at Burger King. She said he has to wear a mask, but was not required to be vaccinated. I'm sure there are many other jobs for these people.

(220 posts)people in a variety of non-medical positions. Some of these could be housekeeping, billing, etc. ~ not necessarily performing medical treatment. I am glad that they have been fired for their lack of compliance with clearly stated policy.

(4,196 posts)Its tough enough going into every patients room with PPE. When employees are unvaxxed, it gives us no safe place, no safe people.
The policy has zero to do with freedom, just like having generations of us being vaxxed starting age 2 months against measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, polio, h flu, hepatitis, rotavirus, varicella, meningococcus and not being allowed to be in school or work a normal job without proof of vaccination. Its not about freedom, its about cooperativity in living in a society together and sacrificing for the common good.
