Hospitals to patients: FUCK YIZ ALL ! [View all]

This morning's Newark Star-Ledger tells the story of a nurse in Hackensack Meridian Health. Seems she figured out, all by herself,
that the hospital's requirement to get vaccinated was an example of government over-control. Thus, she sought and received an exemption BASED ON RELIGION.

Fast forward, she gets an ICU patient with the same demographics as her --- 30 years of age, 2 kids, unvaccinated. The patient died and our heroine decides, maybe that Jesus fella wasn't right after all. And she gets vaccinated, becoming a front page story as a lesson to other unvaccinated people that maybe vaccination is a good idea.

This takes me to the hospital, Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH). A spokesman for the business tells us that 6% of its staff are unvaccinated. Think about that. They have 33,000 employees and 1,980 of them (now, minus 1) are unvaccinated and interacting with patients and the public. And based on privacy, we can't even know which ones of those are followers of Jesus.

And what about Atlantic Health and St. Barnabas?

Solution: Hospitals should do as United Airlines did with their employees. If you ain't vaccinated, take an unpaid leave until the pandemic is over.

Carry on,
3H
