Vaxxed or axed: To protect patients, every health care worker must be vaccinated By , , and
GNN Note – Tough choices lay ahead for those who have chosen to serve in this manner. If a hospital forces their staff to inject an experimental drug into their system, is it worth it? Should they stay or go? If, say 8% leave and can not replaced, how will this impact large scale healthcare? Will this force a “downsizing” of the healthcare industry? Necessity is the mother of all invention and if the giant systems force their employees out of work, the employees may start their own system that competes with the behemoth hospital in your city. /END
Masks are off. Theaters and indoor dining are back. Life seems to be returning to normal. And yet the highly transmissible and maybe more deadly Delta variant is spreading quickly, accounting for half of new Covid-19 cases in the U.S. and causing surges in nearly half of all states. New studies demonstrate the effectiveness of vaccines against this new variant’s immune evasiveness properties, which pose a serious threat to partially vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals.
Education and factual information haven’t gotten us even halfway to a fully vaccinated population. States have tried $1 million lotteries and other incentives. Yet just 1% of the population is becoming vaccinated every week. We need to move on to something else: employer mandates.

Universities are requiring students to be vaccinated and many, including our own University of Pennsylvania, are also mandating that staff and faculty get the vaccine. United and Delta Air Lines, which fly hundreds of passengers in close quarters, are requiring vaccines for all new employees. Even employees of the Broadway hit “Hamilton” will be required to get vaccinated to keep cast and audience members safe.
