Frontline workers are choosing to lose their jobs rather than get the vaccine. Why?
https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/a-year-ago-i-was-a-hero-now-im-treatedThat?s because Pitts refuses to get vaccinated. ?I?m only 21, I want to have a family in the next three years, and we don?t know the long-term side effects,? she tells me when I ask her why. Not only has Pitts become a pariah in her own family?she and her six-year-old sister are the only ones without the vaccine?but, with a wave of mandates being issued by federal and state officials, she faces termination if she doesn?t get her first shot by the end of this month.
Pitts is not alone. While vaccine mandates sweep the country, frontline workers who are refusing the shot are being recast as villains. And there are a lot of villains. According to the Covid States Project, 23% of healthcare workers are unvaccinated. About 40% of Ohio?s nursing home workers remain unvaccinated. In New York City, 9,000 municipal workers have been placed on unpaid leave, plus 12,000 more who have yet to get the vaccine, but are allowed to keep working while the city evaluates their exemption requests.
The same thing that won them praise last year?their willingness to keep working, enveloped by tons of other people?is now a liability for firefighters, healthcare workers and teachers whose unwillingness to play by the rules is seen as selfish and a public-health hazard.
I thought that was gonna be an article about Governor Cuomo. ;D ;D >
