One of the more genius moves made by the Biden administration was forcing every worker that had a government dollar connected to it to get vaccinated. Many people in the medical community refused to do it, resulting in the firing of nurses and doctors across the nation.
In Minnesota, employees from several different health systems refused to vaccinate, resulting in their termination. While most employees from these systems did get vaccinated, systems saw double-digit percentages among the staff, and the bloodletting began. The Mayo Clinic, in particular, fired 700 staffers.
The decision to fire nurses in an already unstable hospital environment caused a massive backfire, so much so that FEMA had to get involved to assist in the transportation of patients.
Now, thanks to the horrendous working conditions brought on by short-staffed hospitals, nurses in Minnesota are going on strike by the thousands.
According to The Hill, some 15,000 nurses are forming what is becoming the largest private-sector nurses’ strike in U.S. history...

There are now hundreds of places I can no longer apply for, even though they may be thousands of miles away. Some of the contracting companies literally advertise now "No Jab needed" on the recruiting lists, so I guess there are health systems willing to let pure bloods work.
The justification for vaccine mandates was supposedly to save lives. Instead, due to understaffing and long wait times, lives are being put at risk. Australia has an emergency care crisis and a 000 (the number people call in urgent situations) crisis. I wonder, has anyone asked a mother whose child is choking if she would prefer an unvaccinated paramedic in five minutes or a vaccinated paramedic in one hour? Or a mother whose son is crying with a broken arm in the emergency ward if she’d rather see an unvaccinated doctor sooner? Has anyone actually asked the patients what they want?
The Australian media is covering this health crisis, but not connecting it to the fact that thousands of trained staff have been stood down due to COVID vaccine mandates. On top of that, thousands more staff have been prevented from working across the healthcare industry: disability support workers, aged care, youth workers, students and administrators. Most of them love their job and have worked hard to get into their positions.
At Reignite Democracy Australia (RDA) we have started a campaign to raise awareness. It is being conducted on behalf of 1600 banned healthcare workers. They are people who have formed strong bonds with their clients/patients, yet they have been ripped away from their work due to the mandates.
A Maine healthcare provider is now begging nurses to return after firing them for refusing to comply with vaccine mandates during the pandemic.
MaineGeneral Health in Augusta has reached out to healthcare workers and asked them to “consider rejoining us.”
According to The Maine Wire, many of those workers were denied unemployment compensation after they were fired.
Former registered nurse Terry Poland shared the message she received from the company that fired her.
“You were once a proud member of the MaineGeneral team,” the facility told her in a text.
“Would you consider rejoining us?
“We would be pleased to discuss options with you.
“As you know, nearly 2 years ago MaineGeneral had to comply with a state mandate for COVID-19 vaccination.
“We lost a number of great employees as a result, including you,” MaineGeneral continued.
The company goes on to note that the vaccination rule has been waived by the state.
Despite hard economic times after losing her job, Poland, who made about $75,000 a year before being fired, was not tempted.
“I was livid,” Poland said about receiving the message.
“Like, how dare you force me out of a career that I’ve dedicated my whole life to, taken away my livelihood, my ability to earn a good income, and now you think I’m gonna come grovel back to you?”
“I don’t hardly think so.
“And that’s the attitude of most everybody that I’ve been in contact with since yesterday.”
Poland would not accept the mRNA injections.
“I knew enough not to take it,” she said.
“I’ve been a nurse long enough to know I need to question what new products are.
“I’m not going to be the first one to jump on board of an experiment.”
She revealed that her Christian convictions also came into play over concern for the use of fetal tissues in developing the drug.
The result was that she was fired and accused of misconduct, which meant she could not collect unemployment benefits, according to The Maine Wire.
Joy McKenna, director of communications for MaineGeneral, said only “a few people” have been interested in returning.
Some nurses who were fired and later fought back in court have scored victories.
Roswell Park Comprehensive Care Center has been ordered to reinstate nurse Wendy Cooper and negotiate retroactive pay and benefits with her, according to The Buffalo News.
State Supreme Court Justice Emilio Colaiacovo ruled this week that an arbitrator’s decision that went against Cooper was “irrational, violative of public policy, and contrary to the interests of justice.”
“Ms. Cooper is an unfortunate victim in the wake of excesses exhibited by governors, administrators, legislatures, and yes, even the judiciary,” the ruling said.
“All too frequently did critical thinking and the exercise of personal liberties expire at the altar of false righteousness, fear, and authority.”
“Since the mandate which formed the basis for Ms. Cooper’s termination was found to be invalid while the matter was being litigated (in arbitration), the arbitrator’s decision upholding the termination must be vacated,” Colaiacovo wrote.
“It is troubling to find that this arbitrator found it fair and just to confirm Cooper’s termination despite there being scant evidence of Ms. Cooper being derelict in her duties, incompetent or insubordinate, other than refusing to take a vaccine pursuant to a mandate which was found to be found null and void, that the person issuing the mandate lacked the authority to do so, and that the rule was unenforceable.”
Roswell Park said it will appeal the decision.
