New York—Northwell Health parted ways with 1,400 employees after they refused to comply with New York State’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers, a spokesperson said Monday.
The workforce for the largest health care network in New York City was 100% vaccinated, as of Monday. “This allows us to continue to provide exceptional care at all of our facilities, without interruption and remain open and fully operational,” the spokesperson said in a statement to PIX11.(Snip)Health care workers statewide had until Sept. 27 to get at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or resign from their position without the ability to collect unemployment benefits.

The greed is without limit. On the other hand, by pocketing these funds, the top executives can give themselves some extra-fat bonuses. In less enlightened times these sorts would be dragged out into the street. "Those terminated lose all employer contributions to their retirement plans for this year unless they’re older than 62."

How many voted for democrats? Then it doesn't bother me a bit. The Trump voters, well, sue their pants off.
From heroes to personae non grata in about a year.... They shoud fake vax cards.

I checked published USA data earlier this evening
US population 333 million
Reported cases of Covid 19. 45 million (allowing no duplications) 13.5% of population - lets assume false positives and false nagatives cancel out.
Deaths 722,031 1.6% of reported cases (again assuming no duplication) 0.2% of
population
Worldwide cases and deaths are in the noise considering 7.5 billion population.
in 1950 US deaths per 1000 were 9.5 today it is 8.9.
Life expectancy in US is 78 and most deaths are among the elderly.
I will not deny C19 is real and potentially deadly, but...

They'll soon find out that some of the vaccinated employees can catch COVID, and some of the unvaccinated were healthy employees who are badly needed to continue operations.

Here is a statistic for Norwell Health. An employee accounts for an average of 5 customers, family, friends, relatives, just because they work there. So you can figure out how to replace 7,000 customers that will go elsewhere.

I’m a bit confused at the hostility against Cruz and Paul by the OP.
Congress has no power except as a body. Cruz and Paul are single members and in the minority at that.
What, exactly, does OP expect them to do except point out the issues?
Elections have consequences.

These 1400 will thank themselves down the road that they stood firm on their own health.

OP likes Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, but dislikes intensely how all this nation does is go farther and father left. Somehow the Democrats call the shots regardless of who is nominally in power, and now even that doesn't matter because the elections are rigged.

Guess thats one way of getting your vaccine percentage rate up fast. Fire all the unvaccinated! How can they honestly claim that firing 1400 employees will not have any effect on the quality of patient care.

#8 War room, baby! The thought of that this can actually happen in the United States of America scares the hell out of me. #8 is right, we finally have a United Republican Party who are making a stand. Hold the line! Hooooold!

Well it seems well over 50% of new cases are fully vaced people.
I’m not vaced and am in danger of losing my job soon.
I had COVID-19 in February, so I refuse to be vaccinated.
The plant I work at has 400 employees, I will let them fire me ……

Forced out due to budget shortfalls using the jab as the excuse.

Sick, evil, rotten to the core. Dispensing with last year’s heroes without a second thought for no damn reason - just following orders. Who would entrust his life to an organization like this?

And being "vaccinated" does NOT prevent you from getting sick or passing on the virus.
This is insane and unscientific.

Your expertise will be welcome in the red states. Move there and your taxes will go down drastically, along with your mortgage payments. Win-Win.

American as apple pie. Our Republican Congress and our wise Supreme Court justices don't lose much sleep over this as they are not subject to the mandate. Maybe Rand Paul or Ted Cruz will issue a spicy Tweet in response.
