I'm in NY. Wonder how other NURSES are feeling about mandatory COVID vaccination?

Nice mild case then. love building my natural antibodies. 

Natural anti-bodies (aka acquired immunity)?? Oh they aren't allowed to be considered. (heavy sarcasm intended)

What happened to "my body my choice".... My last day of work is 10/1 because my company mandated the vaccine and I will not get it. I have natural immunity and feel that is better then this so called vaccine. I worked in a hospital when Covid first started and for 9 months saw so many things, doctors being told to list Covid as cause of death when it wasn't, reporting more cases then we actually had. I walked away from that setting and took a case management job that I really like but have to give it up because I won't be forced to put something in my body. I am sickened by what has happened and how it is pinning people against each other. This is all about control and fear and I am not buying into it. I know of 2 people that died shortly after getting the vaccine, so many others haven't been reported. I pray for all those in the same situation of having to choose between feeding your family or complying with this mandate.

You are telling us about your choice now.  Apparently you are choosing to be unemployed because your feelings about covid are more important than your ability to pay the bills or your feelings about not contributing to a deadly pandemic.  The fact that you won't or can't acknowledge that the vaccines are, in fact,  vaccines suggests that you are suffering from some delusional beliefs or indoctrination.

That's not believable.  Most health professionals understand that it is most likely that covid related deaths are undercounted across the globe.  That's the nature of pandemics.

So your employer was threatening to hold you down and vaccinate you? No? You mean then that they established an employment requirement that you disagreed with so you made a choice. Why use inaccurate language to describe what happened?

Yeah...we are so sickened but the refusal to vaccinate among self described health professionals that we speak harshly to them and get accused of bullying.  Pushing fear about the vaccines is irresponsible and reckless and that's what your nonsense remark about death after vaccination is...fear mongering to further the divisive nonsense that is reasonable to refuse vaccination in the absence of true contraindication.  Jive turkey will love your fear mongering and emotional baloney. 

You officially joined the ranks of the antivaxxers. Congratulations.

Regardless of anyone beliefs I am always kind and do not judge. I will pray that the hatred in your hearts will be filled with love and joy instead.

Tell it to the families of those who have died needlessly.

If 2 people really died because of the vaccine, this would be huge news in all of the news outlets.  Billions of people across the world don't know Anyone who has this COD and you have 2!  You are not a nurse or you would know we are not going to fall for this lie.

This virus doesn't give a rat's *** about your feelings. 

Best of luck in your new job. 

The cool thing is there are states that won't mandate vaccination for nursing.  Some of those states are certain to to be overwhelmed by Covid, and pay travel nurses very well.  Hopefully nobody will want you as an oncology nurse, but as a hospice nurse, you could make a killing in those state.  So to speak.

49 years of experience and you are this naive? Ever heard of censorship? Almost everytime people say negative feedback about the vaccine it is being tagged as misinformation.

When it's false or misleading then you're correct, it's labelled as misinformation, that's what misinformation is.

Only that what they’re saying is actually true, but they’re still labeling it as misinformation.

Like @Mercy65 has said on her post, 2 people have died shortly after getting the vaccine, now one person is saying that she is lying.
