Some hospitals are foregoing vaccine mandates to avert staffing shortages
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71100748 United States 09/02/2021 09:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Some hospitals are foregoing vaccine mandates to avert staffing shortages Rules for thee... In the rural northeastern corner of Missouri, Scotland County Hospital has been so low on staff that they’ve sometimes had to turn away patients amid a surge in COVID-19 cases. The national COVID staffing crunch means CEO Dr. Randy Tobler has hired more travel nurses to fill the gaps. And the prices are steep—what he called “crazy” rates of $200 an hour or more, which Tobler said his small rural hospital cannot afford. A little over 60% of his staff is fully vaccinated. Even as COVID cases rise, though, a vaccine mandate is out of the question. “If that becomes our differential advantage, we probably won’t have one until we’re forced to have one,” Tobler said. “Maybe that’s the thing that will keep nurses here.” As of Thursday, about 39% of U.S. hospitals have announced vaccine mandates, said Colin Milligan, a spokesperson for the American Hospital Association. Across Missouri and the nation, hospitals are weighing more than patient and caregiver health in deciding whether to mandate COVID vaccines for staffers. The market for health care labor, strained by more than a year and a half of coping with the pandemic, continues to be pinched. While urban hospitals with deeper pockets for shoring up staff have implemented vaccine mandates, and may even use them as a selling point to recruit staffers and patients, their rural and regional counterparts are left with hard choices as cases surge again. “Obviously, it’s going to be a real challenge for these small, rural hospitals to mandate a vaccine when they’re already facing such significant workforce shortages,” said Alan Morgan, head of the National Rural Health Association. Without vaccine mandates, this could lead to a desperate cycle: Areas with fewer vaccinated residents likely have fewer vaccinated hospital workers, too, making them more likely to be hard hit by the delta variant sweeping America. In the short term, mandates might drive away some workers. But the surge could also squeeze the hospital workforce further as patients flood in and staffers take sick days. Rural COVID mortality rates were almost 70% higher on average than urban ones for the week ending Aug. 15, according to the Rural Policy Research Institute. [link to fortune.com (secure)]

The hoax department is the most shameful in the State. While they continue to push this nonsense, no one ever met anyone that ever got sick, let alone died. Yet, everyone seems to know someone that died from the shots. These supposed "safe and effective" shots. This is the final line in the sand. People have had enough of the lies. Everyone I know is ready to let their corporations fire them, and Galt the system. Let it all burn to the ground. The most dangerous thing to this Republic isn't a supposed virus. It's the disease driving the narrative. Fun fact. People see through it.

They’re testing us right now to see what they can get away with. Do not be loyal to any company ever, they don’t give a shit about you or your life. Especially nurses. No company or corporation gives a fuck about you. Keep repeating it until it sinks in one day. Might take years. Work for yourself as much as you can, go wherever they don’t mandate, sign on with multiple travel or agencies, and go with whoever pays the most money. This is how to vote. The real way.
