PJM:
As has long been predicted, the dreaded fall COVID-19 surge is upon us. People are spending more time indoors, vaccine protection is wearing off, and there’s a new variant in town. All the elements are in place for a fresh wave of misery for our overworked Healthcare Heroes.
One would think that the people who run our challenged hospital systems would try very hard not to make the situation worse, but one would be wrong.
In a rush be one of the cool kids, some medical systems got out in front of the Biden vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, demanding their staff come into 100% compliance with vaccine mandates or lose their jobs. Others waited until the last minute to let the workers go, even though the Biden mandate had been blocked by then. But in significant numbers, the affected medical professionals — actual, trained, sciency nurses, doctors, and others — decided they’d rather lose their jobs than take the controversial, novel vaccine. And so, in their infinite wisdom, the hospital administrators showed these employees the door, with utterly predicable results. more
Good!
Sadly these are the very people we should be calling heros since they were in the thick of it when there was no vaccine! Now there there is, isn’t it interesting that there are sooo many people exempt from having to take the vax:
-> Members of Congress
Congressional staff
White House Staff
Judicial Branch
CDC Employees
FDA Employees
US Post Office Employees
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Employees
Pfizer Employees
Moderna Employees
Johnson & Johnson Employees
Illegal Aliens
The Homeless Population
That pretty much leaves the “little guy”… you know, the hard-working, over-taxed-payer as the target for vaccinations cuz:
Herd Immunity bad.
Herd Mentality good.
Aaaaaaaannnnnd as we all know, Liberals have always been there for the little guy!
Raise your fist and repeat after me:
“Wherever there’s wrong-doing, We’ll be there!”
“Wherever there’s injustice, We’ll be there!”
“Wherever there’s corruption, We’ll be there!”
“And wherever there’s a bunch of big guys beating up
on a little guy, we’ll be there too!”
(holding the little guy down!)
The Wisconsin Governor, One-Term-Tony, lied to the MSM that there was a shortage of beds in the state hospitals. he spun it as if it was due to Covid Omicron when the fact was it is because hospitals fired so many of their staff. Democrats built this administration on lies starting with the election of 2020. I hope that every person fired because of these mandates gets their day in court.
Kentucky has declared a training shortage crisis and the governor has taken steps to open up the nursing schools for more students.

At the school where I teach for now, until they fire me for no shot, 3 triple Vaxxers have come down with the ‘Vid this month that I know of, they don’t have to be tested weekly like us “Purebloods”. Two in the hospital. I also know of two coworkers relatives that were triple vaxxed that died this month. Eat well, exercise, wash hands often, and don’t watch the news….that’s my plan.
This is not a crisis but a perfect opportunity to give the illegal immigrants jobs to make them valued contributing members of our proud nation. Since illegal immigrants don’t need injections and they are eager to work and assimilate into American society, why doesn’t pResident Joe just decree that hospitals must hire them into any and all available hospital jobs.
Yes, Mickey—hospital bed counts are based on staffing NOT on physical beds. So the smaller the staff (nursing) the less beds you have. These hospitals are causing the “overflow”
Sort of OT but over 70 senators and over 300 representatives have taken money from vaccine pharmas.
One would think that the people who run our challenged hospital systems would try very hard not to make the situation worse, but one would be wrong.

Oh but the “f’ers” do make it harder – they need to make $$$$ off of people regardless. To prove it, I got a call at 12:30 am telling me that my 98-yo mother needs a hip replacement. My doctor was my mother’s doctor, and he got an ear full from me 2 days ago at my yearly. I told him that the doctor was making you doctors look bad, and you are now in with the group of most mistrusted professionals – lawyers and real estate agents. He knew exactly what I was saying. I further said that I couldn’t get past what the doctor wanted to do with my mother. After I read the surgeon the riot act over the phone, the bastard called me back 15 minutes later and said “we can remove the femur bone and that muscle will grow back over where the femur bone use to be. I was f’ing livid! My mother died 2 days later fully intact. Doctors are not God but they act like they are. Greed is what drives them. I told the doctor I wasn’t paying for his vacation to Hawaii. The doctor is from Iran I believe. He isn’t fit to be a garbage collector.
@Walnut1: Your plan is my plan and it has serv3d me well for the past 2 years. Got covid when they didn’t know what it was – caught it on a Princess cruise ship 12/4/2019. Took me 6 weeks to recover fully and I haven’t been sick since….just a bad attitude is all I got. 🙂
I used to clean hospitals. Until I came down with covid. Because I couldn’t give them a return to work date, I got laid off. The Coof settled in my lungs and I couldn’t walk 30 yards without feeling faint. I came down with it in late August, and I finally got back to 100% in mid November, but as I refuse to get the jab, I’m still persona non grata in the hospital.
Yet the Hospital HR departments hum smoothly along, unperturbed by their incompetent arrogance.
Overwheled, really? Wait 18 months until those gullible fools who took the suicide jab start dropping dead from heart, lung, brain disasters. There will not be anyone to take care of hospital patients. Hospital staff will all become patients and there won’t be anyone to take care of them. THAT my friends, is overwhelmed.
Goldenfoxx…. every now and then I use the term ghoul to describe certain medical professionals. I’d say a surgeon pushing for a 98 year old to have surgery qualifies for that term…
I canceled an ECG procedure recently. The nurse on the phone asked why. I told her I stand in solidarity with those who were let go. Told her I don’t feel confident with such a short staff. She had no comment.
I got the WuFlu in Oct 2019, before the Disinformation Shitstorm of the millenium, and I have not looked back. My head and neck ached and I rolled around on the couch for days wondering when that bulldozer must’ve run over me.
Damn whoever created/weaponized this virus (my money is on the US govt). I wouldn’t let the despicable Fauxi clean out my neighbor’s septic tank.
But I’ve never fought people for the parking spot closest to the entrance, and I would rather crawl on my knees that ride a rascal on my way to the doughnut aisle.
I thank God each day I open my eyes. And I pray that he Delivers us from the Evil One (again).
Our governor Inslee has declared unvaxers to be domestic terrorists, no matter if one has recovered from the affliction.
The person who made the decision belongs in jail, no matter who, no matter where.
Hospitals That Laid Off Unvaccinated Staff Now ‘Overwhelmed’
This is analogous to drilling a hole in your boat and then complaining about the leak.
