Biden’s Mandate Madness Divides the Nation and Worsens the Covid Crisis by David Haggith for The Great Recession
One thing I did not expect from Biden was that he would become more dangerously divisive than Donald Trump. That is a high bar for high drama. Turning health decisions into political wedges is foolish and detrimental to the nation’s well-being. I hoped Biden had more sense than that; yet, he is making the vaccine as political as Trump made masks.
Biden, who promised before the election that vaccines would not be mandated by his administration, now repeatedly and unjustly blames the unvaccinated for causing the Delta variant to infect everyone. In order to manipulate peer pressure across the nation to support his vaccine mandate, he is deliberately driving a wedge between the vaxxers, whom he presents as a righteous majority that cares about others, and the new pariah class he is creating out of those who refuse vaccination, whom he blames and shames for inflicting everyone with COVID. It’s a stigmatizing us-and-them argument:
We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us.
Biden is damaging exhausted healthcare
As I wrote in my latest Patron Post, hospitals were already seriously understaffed, and COVID fatigue is imperiling their ability to provide care:
Now is your chance to support Gospel News Network.
We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
Hospitals taxed by the pandemic over the last 20 months have a new problem: Labor strife and a wave of resignations have people waiting longer for care.
Months of marathon shifts, an onslaught of verbal and even physical abuse from patients and the public, and perennial complaints over low pay and staffing shortages are stirring unrest at a particularly critical moment in the pandemic….
More than a half million health care workers quit in August, the last month for which data is available. That’s the most in a single month in more than 20 years.
Now Biden and some governors are stripping critical medical staff down even further with their vaccine mandates, while some hospitals are denuding themselves on their own volition just because of their AMA/CDC obsession over COVID vaccines:
New York State’s largest healthcare provider, Northwell Health, has fired 1,400 employees who refused to get COVID-19 vaccinations….
Northwell announced its vaccine mandate in August, weeks before the state requirement….
Political officials cite that around 16% of the New York state’s hospital workers, representing about 83,000 people, aren’t completely vaccinated. Roughly under 10% have not received a single shot. They’re demanding for employees to get their vaccinations—or else face the consequences….
New York-Presbyterian Hospital fired about 250 employees who refused to get vaccinated….
A North Carolina-based hospital system announced this week that roughly 175 unvaccinated employees were fired for failing to comply with the organization’s mandatory coronavirus vaccination requirements
“New York’s largest healthcare provider fires 1,400 unvaccinated workers“
Biden’s mandate madness is making us all less safe from COVID by cutting our skeleton crews of healthcare workers to the bone just as the months arrive when flu season will likely amplify COVID contagion!
As a result, hospital workers who were lauded as heroes prior to the vaccines are now being forced out with no dignity or thanks because of their refusal to vaccinate. If they were considered a great help back then when they were unvaccinated, why are they deemed now as being more hinderance than help because of their unvaccinated condition?
