The whole point of the vaccine is to prevent death. It was never said that if you get the vaccine you won't get covid. Even if employers do mandate the vaccine there will be a medical and religious exemption that Im sure anti-vaxxers will gladly take advantage of.
Juanito, BSN, MSN 53 Posts Has 17 years experience. Aug 4, 2021 I think people who refuse the vaccine should have to pay for their own care at a hospital staffed by all the healthcare workers who were fired for refusing the vaccine. I wish we had the option of not caring for them if we chose not to.

Saying that you wish that you could choose whether or not to take care of unvaccinated people is like saying you wish to choose not to take care of people based on your judgement of what people should do or not do to their own bodies. As a healthcare provider, you need to be able to provide the same great care to everyone.

As a healthcare provider, I know that being overwhelmed with COVID patients means no one gets great care.

Lemme ask you a 2 part question with respect to the fda statement. 1. if you get sick, go to the er & are covid +, will you want to be treated with a monoclonal or antiviral? 2. I’ll ask it after you answer the 1st. Methinks you don’t understand how covid vaccines work if you think they prevent contracting the virus. And how do your rights override my rights?

So … you have the right to choose whether to vaccinate, yet we have NO right to decline to relieve you of the predictable consequences of your freely chosen behavior. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

No one is forcing you to be a nurse As I said - funny how that works. Your right to choose whether to vaccinate is paramount, regardless of who is harmed, yet when you or someone you infected gets seriously sick, it becomes someone else’s sacred responsibility to bear the consequences of your choices. The rights of your fist end at the bridge of my nose. Freedom without responsibilities is parasitism. The only cure for parasites is elimination. I say, let natural selection take it’s course.
