For those of you who have recognized your employer can terminate you for not taking the COVID vaccine and have decided on or are considering employment elsewhere please share your experiences here. How do you feel about having to make that choice? 

The purpose of this thread is not to condemn those making this decision or debate whether they should vaccinate or not.

Then you should rename and re-address the subject of the thread. It's misleading. And I am not surprised. It's another way to get people into arguing when you purport to want to know how they feel, simply, about being forced out of a job d/t a vaccine mandate.

This is just another thread like the others and could easily be merged.

I agree.

I have to ask: what IS the purpose of this thread? And that is not snark; I want to know. What is your response going to be either way?

It appears that the purpose is to sympathize with poor choices and bad reasoning about vaccination during a public health crisis.

Respectfully put:

When I see a thread with a question or a format I don't like, I ignore it rather than interrogate the author.  We're already not discussing the topic. 

In the spirit of getting back on subject I'll answer you.  

I  Suspect there are many nurses out there who are already under intense pressure from their employer, peers, friends, family and society to vaccinate despite their personal concerns.. This thread particularly addresses the pressure they are experiencing from employers and choices that they are having to make.   

Here's a generic example:

Nurse A works in oncology and is not going to take the COVID vaccine.  Nurse B also didn't take the vaccine but got another type if job and suggests nurse could do something similar that doesn't require the vaccination, and may not involve DPC.

Nurse A should leave oncology in the interest of her patients' well being.

Nurse B has no problem, I guess?

And this is why we have strayed. It's not on topic cause it got taken that way from the start. It's going to end up an argument for and against, again.

You are speculating.

How about just let those who have actually been affected answer?

Since the virus has a treatment and a 99 percent survival rate without any medical treatment AND the so called vaccine is unproven, not really a vaccine, and killing people( see openvaers.com), I would say goodbye and not look back. I  know several harmed by the so called vaccine. Many places are going to regret this mandate after good staff leave. Finally, my body my choice. 

The virus still has a case fatality rate of 2% in this country; you are off by a percent and a 2% survival rate of a highly infectious illness isn't that good (in perspective, influenza has a survival rate of 0.1% and malaria of 0.3%). 

The one approved treatment for covid (and only for hospitalized patients) was just shown in a large study to not increase survival (but did increase hospital stay length).

Are the hospitals full of people with covid or people with vaccine injuries? Because we've given more than 350 million doses and there are only 38 million cases. So I would assume there are at least 100 times more people hospitalized with vaccine side effects. Are there?

I doubt places are going to regret it. Just about every healthcare setting has gone this way (or will following full FDA approval of vaccines, which is a done deal) so there will be scare places of employment for those that are pro-disease.

You asked a question and I answered it right? 

Alright then.

Nobody is pro disease.  You made many good points without having to go there.

If only their choices, behavior and rhetoric relative to covid and vaccines didn't have pro-disease qualities and elements.  After all, it's the unvaccinated who are currently driving case numbers, hospitalizations and deaths from the disease.

They are in practice if they are against mitigation efforts.
