"We are still in a battle against COVID to protect our loved ones, and we need to fight with every tool at our disposal," Governor Hochul said." Yes, every tool except nurses who have the backbone to refuse to bow to an illegal mandate.
Funny, when this mess began, these workers were lauded as 'heroes'. Now, they are pariahs.
Oh, and these jabs don't sterilize, which means patients can still be infected. If the issue really is protecting patients, they would send workers who recovered from covid to the frontlines, but guess that would make too much sense for bureaucrats
Here’s something that I can’t believe these idiots don’t understand or respect.
Presumably, these doctors and nurses have pretty much seen it all when it comes to covid. They were front line at some of the worst of the pandemic for NY. And yet, there are those who STILL don’t to vaccinate, for whatever reasons they have. How can anyone disrespect their opinions at this point is beyond me.
It’s “trust the doctors, just not these doctors” political propaganda 100%.
Northeast has a tough road ahead. Seasonality. Waning vaccine timing with the pending season. And NY has decided to level up with this bonehead move. And it will lead to death, but the unvaccinated and pandemic will take the hit, not poor leadership.
If you're a hospital admin or stock holder (hello BlackRock and Vanguard) and you've always longed to be able to bring in foreign workers at half the price, this is a big win. They are already prepping the work visas.
This was not a mistake of incompetence or arrogance, this is going exactly according to plan.
The hospital association requested fasttracking of visa applicants for nurses back in june or july... i also read a comment somewhere that filipino nurses in oakland ca who replaced amaericans some years ago are pissed as they are now getting replaced by indians who are even cheaper....
Right, but I believe it's a mistake to write any part of this off to incompetence or unfortunate consequences. This "pandemic" has been a windfall for the world's richest people, and as the Morrisons CEO recently said, "COVID is the gift that keeps on giving"
Hahahah! Can cats laugh because this cat is busting a nut.
Holy sH$it! That was hilarious. It’s really hard to decide isn’t it? It’s hard to decide, are they really that utterly retarded and stupid or are they actively scheming and planning to destroy everything because they’re sick sadistic twisted f$cks.
Its really hard to know.
Which one is it?
hoeschel is going to out-retard cuomo.
If 20k people died under Cuomo‘s leader ship as a direct result of his confidence than under Hoesche, more than that will die.
Are they guilty of first-degree murder with malicious aforethought?
I'm sorry, i just don't have the patience for this. Love the blog, great analysis, crunching data, witty, and cat theme is big plus, buuut... unless I'm missing subtle sarcasm w ol gato i can't believe that anyone seriously thinks that this latest system crash isn't the intended result. Why bother to cavil at the 'stupidity' when the better and obvious explanation is these power mad people want and need these crises to hold and expand their control? We've seen these people do exactly the opposite of established practice over and over. Can we just accept that things like crashing the medical system, enhancing the virus' spread and lethality, destroying the economy, flooding the country w millions of poor disease ridden people etc... is intended to create a failed state where totalitarian government is the only option?
Ginned up -- I am convinced you are absolutely correct. This IS intentional with thought, plan and malice. To pretend otherwise is dangerous folly.
Our government and their minions are trying to do to our hospitals, clinics and emergency response teams the same thing they've already done to our military and police forces. They force the "skillful, experienced and strong-spined" leaders out of those professions and advance their own zombie-drones into the vacated positions.
Result: top levels in critical disciplines are now neutered (or spayed).
I'm old, retired, no family left that needs my help and support; I'm on the sidelines looking in but still have to live in this world. It's MUCH easier for me to applaud bravery from the sidelines than from the middle of the fray. That does NOT diminish my appreciation and love for the brave souls standing up to this evil at the front lines of the battle. You risk a great deal more than I.
Thank you. You all have my prayers and whatever little support I can give.
the problem is not the government. the regulators are following orders, as they always do. the politicians are doing what they think the people want. the problem is the people are frightened of the disease and they believe these are vaccines in the traditional sense. i see people carefully putting on masks in restaurants to walk to the bathroom. and making their kids do this too. it seems like the more educated people are more frightened and more inclined to follow rules without question
this seems a less valid excuse when it's the government that has been playing such an aggressive role in generating, perpetuating, and overstating that fear.
But the regulators ARE the government. They're from government agencies, part of the executive branch but not really answerable to any elected officials, or by extension to any citizens who may have elected those officials. All the legislature does is allot funds to cover the regulations that the unelected regulators have imposed -- or, conversely, deny funds to anyone who doesn't comply. The legislature doesn't even do the fining for non-compliance; the regulators both set and collect the fees.
As for the people being frightened, who did the frightening? Big Media and Big Tech, sure, but who fed those entities the horror stories and the questionable numbers? And for what advantages? -- maybe a little favor exchange next time regulations are written?
WHo wants to bet that in a few months time we will find out that:
a) half those staff went and got the shot cuz needed the money. they were coerced. Bullied. But that will continue cuz they always give in...
b) half those staff were replaced by foreign workers brought in from India, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Israel, etc., on special visas and that some of them were illegal immigrants who agreed to be vaccinated to get the job and get a corporate sponsor for their visa/green card. American workers will be displaced by this. The governor knows it. Doesnt care. This is actually good news for the governor.
You make the most important point: this is entirely their own doing. Vax mandates make no sense and firing nurses during a pandemic doesn't make any sense but the 'leaders' are boldly charging off the cliff because they made dumb rules.
Has anybody told Gov. Who that these are not sterilizing vaccines? These mandates are assuming that the vaccines prevent transmission. It's like they believe in magic words and if you call something a"vaccine" it magically becomes one.
That was Fauci's intention all along. Call it a vax so no one will question safety noe efficacy. And discredit all scientists and medical professionals who question the narrative.
I agree. But what I don't understand is why? Fauci and his ilk clealy understand what they are doing -- they know they are lying, and pushing propaganda. But why? Why lie so much and so obviously? Why must everyone take the shot that doesn't really work like you expect? The top theories I hear for why are: kickbacks from Pharma, cover-your-ass govt incompetence, and the shots are some kind of nefarious govt control program. But none of those theories really work for me, and how do you explain why ALL western countries are in on the deal? One theory I do sort of like, is that the world leaders have been told that the virus is indeed a bio-weapon from the lab and the shots are some kind of "antidote" that they are experimenting with, and of course they don't want to tell us this, because we, the peasantry, will be rightly PO'd.
In my mind, this theory explains the govt flip-flops, the panic, the mandates, the quarantines, the lies, the censorship, the media fear pushing, the rejecting of natural immunity, the incessant boosters, the fear-mongering which doesn't go away....and it also explains why , on the ground to us, none of this seems necessary. But Fauxi seems to be whispering in every leader's ear, "we don't know what the virus is going to do....it's different than anything else...it's not gone yet....it was built to mutate...we need more shots...more money...more time....I'm the only one who understands...."
The shots ARE the bioweapon. Dr. Martin, Dr. Fleming, and others have evidence of patents as far back as 2002. Fauci has been working on this for a long time. As far as explaining how the rest of the world is complicit: think $$$$ and how a few billionaires are able to influence policies of the W.H.O., WEF, and other 'benevolent' institutions. If the shots were an antidote, you wouldn't see the thousands of deaths and vax injuries of previously healthy people. They also would not be pushing to vax KIDS and young people who are basically immune to it. From the very beginning, it was clear that this virus was killing the elderly with comorbidities, and sparing the young and healthy. But now, Biden, FDA, CDC, Fauci et al. are making the unvaxxed the scapegoats, and want to jab even BABIES. WTH? I have only one word for it: MACHIAVELLIAN. This was no accident.
Considering that somehow these unvaccinated healthcare workers managed to stay alive and not present dangers to their patients all of last year during the first peak of the illness, it's hard to understand how only now do they present a danger. Well, no, it's not hard to understand. The mandates obviously have little to do with health and almost everything to do with politics.
The refusal to grant unemployment benefits is a particularly nasty political touch.
"Growing frustration, mistrust, and anger at COVID-19 restrictions among the populations of many States and economic hardships (including rising unemployment, poverty, growing inequality, and food insecurity) are all potential drivers for an increase in the terrorist threat."
I'm sure the acting Governor will appreciate your letter. Make sure it has a return address so they know where to find you.
"We are still in a battle against COVID to protect our loved ones, and we need to fight with every tool at our disposal," Governor Hochul said." Yes, every tool except nurses who have the backbone to refuse to bow to an illegal mandate.
Meanwhile, we all know who the real tools are.
And not terribly sharp tools to boot.
Funny, when this mess began, these workers were lauded as 'heroes'. Now, they are pariahs.
Oh, and these jabs don't sterilize, which means patients can still be infected. If the issue really is protecting patients, they would send workers who recovered from covid to the frontlines, but guess that would make too much sense for bureaucrats
There’s no such thing as peak stupid with this crew.

4 university studies of "vaccine hesitant" were surprised at U-shaped curve. At 1 end, uneducated government suspicious. At other end PhDs
But these people (unvaccinated) were the heros a year ago and....huh? Those in charge have mush for brains
Good.
I left months ago because I knew it would only continue to get worse.
I hope it all fucking burns.
Hosea 8:7, bitches.

They're punch drunk with their power to force their will upon the populace. How dare you not obey a royal edict? Off with your head!

I don't think anyone cares that they aren't sterilizing. Even the CDC still has on their website that vaccines "prevent disease". Shell game

Well, no, it's not hard to understand. The mandates obviously have little to do with health and almost everything to do with politics.
The refusal to grant unemployment benefits is a particularly nasty political touch.
If they were really smart they would just use the many with natural immunity to work woth never-infected patients.
The Administration should be held legally responsible for the deaths they cause.
Today I wrote a not-very-nice message to Gov. Hochul. Simply search Contact Kathy Hochul, it’s easy to find the online form.
Did you know....
Questioning COVID mandates is domestic terrorist behavior?
Possibly even global terrorist behavior, now!
