Re: I am done being a paramedic
As of yesterday, my job mandated the vaccine for our company. One of the heads of our company is Australian ( go figure ). I have been in EMS for 6 years and it’s time to leave. I have planned on leaving anyway, but this has put the nail in the coffin.

What’s insane is that the company I work for KNOWS the vaccine will not give you protection from COVID. On Saturday, I’ve transported two patients who were vaccinated and they both had Covid . One of them was a new diagnosis and the second one just got discharged from the hospital with Covid. He was in the hospital for 12 days.

I know a few nurses who are not getting the vaccine either. They see vaccinated people go to the hospital regularly for Covid. One nurse said that if you aren’t vaccinated you can’t receive an organ transplant .

I am tired of the medical tyrants trying to control everyone’s lives and I don’t want to be apart of it anymore. I know many people who have been pressured to get the vaccine for their jobs due to having families.

They are coming for private businesses next and then the churches , children and etc.

I forgot to add that I found me a job working at a small business. The pay is $10 less than what I did make as a medic . But I am so thankful that my boss picked me up before the mandate and I am not as stressed and happier. I’m praying for a higher paying job after I finish my cybersecurity degree this spring .


UPDATE:
I am in Texas by the way. My company was founded in Louisiana.

Weren't vaccine mandates made illegal in Texas by the governor?

In any case good luck.

Re: I am done being a paramedic
My local triple S radio station has been reporting covid numbers for the last year and a half. They stupidly report that 90% of the fatalities were unvaccinated. Hmmmm. So, 10% WERE vaccinated, BUT STILL DIED. Am I missing something, or am I just bad at math?

Find a job with a different company who is not requiring it.
As a nurse, I left the company I worked for, at the interview with a new company I told them flat out the vaccine is a deal breaker. They gave me an exemption to have me. Then the job I left called and offered me an exemption to come back, after previously denying it.

Re: I am done being a paramedic
CT, it sounds like you were ready to move on, anyway, but I'm sorry it happened this way.

What about Abbott's order on no mandates? I would think that leaves your company open to lawsuits and a possible settlement for you.
 Quoting: thinking...


My company said in the email that Biden's executive order trumps Abbot.
 Quoting: CigarTigher


Biden only said what he wanted, its like a hearsay rumor until the correct authorities enact it and they haven't yet, according to Robert Barnes attorney AND every single religious which legally means strong moral belief, mandate has BEEN WON. Not one lost, present cases and past. And they're starting to see actual restraining orders put on mandates by some of the better courts which will put a lot of pressure of all of them.
The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist.
The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist.

Re: I am done being a paramedic
I hear you my fellow brother. 10 years as an EMT here. I took an inpatient job off the great white taxi 5 years ago because I couldn't handle the trauma from peds, especially since I had to work a accident that killed this chick I grew up with that ejected her daughter and husband coming from an ramp to a highway on her fucking birthday going home from a softball game. And my fucking shit ass partner made me ( still green at the time, and she brags about being there for 35 yEaRs took the adults. EMS is underpaid, overworked, and way over the fuck stressed, which is why most of us are all closet alchoholics or drug addicts. I stay certified just so I can land a job that needs that as a requirment, for medical or driving purposes.

Some driving courier jobs will take you without a class D or C if you had Ambulance experience.

but yeah, fuck that shit- I got in it to help ppl, not taxi fuckers back to nnursing homes and dialysis or travel 400 miles to divert them to a new hospital because our fuckhead surgeons wont touch burn victims or kids, and we are a lvl 2 trauma center.

Re: I am done being a paramedic
That sucks for you, but I am glad you found a replacement job so quick.

The real issue is the medical industry is replacing experienced personnel with inexperienced “yes men”.

This will collapse the medical industry within the next few years, at which point the democrats will come out and say “capitalism had failed” and “medical care is too important to be left to the private sector”. And they will roll out socialized health care.

I would bet money the 2000 page bill is already written. They are just waiting on the collapse.

Wow

I remember when you were studying to become a paramedic

How hard you worked and how you anticipated helping people ...

I’m sure anyone under your care has been lucky

I saw a comment that nurses that were quitting mandate hospitals were signing on with bonuses at temp or travel agencies - and going right back to work... for more pay... and even some went back to their old hospitals they left a few weeks before!

They were no longer employed by the hospital

Temp agencies don’t require you to get a hole in your arm

Maybe there are temp agencies for your occupation

Bonuses too !

Hey brother,
I'm in healthcare owning two adult family homes in Washington state. I'm tired of this bullshit also. State trying to force me and my staff to take that poisonous shot, not going to happen!
Seriously, end of February 2020 I put my two homes on lockdown to protect the residents. I prayed over the homes and commanded in Jesus name that no corona virus disease no sickness will enter my home. I anointed all the windows and door frames with oil and prayed the home spirit protect each and everyone of us. Guess what, to this day, not one case of corona came to either my my two homes, no staff, no residents have been sick. Now they want to force their parasite infested toxic jab into my arm? I say NO!!! I self wrote up a religious exemption for me and any staff member who wanted one but seriously, it should not have to come to getting a religious exemption. Freedom of Choice for my body. So, I'm selling both my businesses, thank you GOD for answering my prayers!
Yep-I heard the call to action and I'm waiting in the reserves now to be called to duty in the army of our lord Jesus. This is going to be the biggest adventure of my life. The most challenging. The most important battle of our life time.
Question-whose heard the call? Who stands ready, willing, and able to do what we have to do to save our America?
