New York Hospitals Begin Shutting Down Services as Vaccine Deadline Hits and Unvaccinated Workers Terminated

It’s one of the stupidest displays of government incompetence and ideological knuckleheadedness in recent history.   A New York state healthcare provider, operating a week ago without issue, is now forced to stop offering healthcare services today. Why? Simply because the government has mandated a vaccine requirement that many workers within the industry are uncomfortable with.

The issue is not just a shortage of doctors and nurses.  Everyone including: janitors, cafeteria staff, administrators, phone operators, clerical staff, coders, IT staff, receptionists and customer service staff within the healthcare industry is impacted.  If they didn’t take the jab, they’re fired.

Yet, somewhere in the twisted logic and ideological worldview seemingly devoid of commonsense, the proponents claim it’s for the benefit of public health to enact policies that shut-down services providing for the public health.  Take this example:

(New York) Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse will temporarily close 22 of its 35 operating rooms starting Monday in anticipation of a growing staff shortage due to New York’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate.

The hospital had already postponed elective surgeries as a result of chronic staff shortages during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, priority will be given to surgeries that are medically necessary, time sensitive or involve critical-care trauma cases, the hospital announced Friday. Those surgeries will be consolidated into the 13 open operating rooms. (read more)

What will be the likely outcome?  An excessive death toll, as people can no longer get treatments or diagnoses for conditions that are unrelated to COVID-19. The data has already emerged, in the controlled healthcare system within the U.K., where they are seeing an unusual spike in deaths due to undiagnosed and untreated illnesses.  18 months of delayed treatments in the socialized system of British healthcare are starting to take a toll.

(U.K) – While focus remains firmly fixed on Covid-19, a second health crisis is quietly emerging in Britain. Since the beginning of July, there have been thousands of excess deaths that were not caused by coronavirus.

[…] According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), since July 2 there have been 9,619 excess deaths in England and Wales, of which 48 per cent (4,635) were not caused by Covid-19. (read more)

It could be possible that a cleaving of the healthcare industry, amid Vaxxed and Non-Vaxxed workers, may lead to a private system, cash payment, healthcare system in the U.S. where services are provided by both sets of healthcare workers.   However, that approach is likely to be more of a black market operation, because the regulatory and licensing boards continue to put maximum pressure on the system.

FUBAR….  All of it.

We have descended into madness Alice.
