Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been following the debate on whether vaccine mandates will cause staffing shortages<\/a>. Had a few tests done at the hospital this morning. Quietly asked the RN about the vaccine. She hasn’t gotten it, does not intend to. She’s with an “agency” which means she’s not part of the giant conglomerate health care provider and isn’t bound by their rules. She’s seen stuff, read stuff, she affirmed – strictly off the record and between her and me – that I’m not the only one with serious doubts. We’re not crazy no matter what they tell us.

I received excellent care from a non-corporate nurse, for which I am grateful and also amused. The regulation says any employer with more than 100 nurses must . . . oh, we’ve only got 90. Our sister (but completely independent) companies also have 90, each. And each nurse only works 29 hours for each company. They’re exempt. No vaccine. But excellent patient care. And the giant conglomerate can proudly announce their in-house staff is fully vaccinated with no staffing shortage. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Potemkin compliance all the way down. You watch, they’ll be ‘independent contractors’ next.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

People underestimate the cost of widespread ignoring of laws because they are widely considered to be wrong, stupid, corrosive of freedom and the like.<\/p>

It doesn\u2019t end well. And it\u2019s not the peoples fault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
