Andrea Babinski never imagined she would be forced to get a vaccine to keep her nursing job.
“When people would say stuff like, ‘Oh, mask mandates today and slippery slope to vaccine mandates tomorrow,’ I thought, ‘No, that’s crazy. That sounds like a conspiracy theory, like wacko people,'” she said.
For the medical-surgical nurse who worked at Gundersen Health Systems for 12 years, it was never about politics. Due to several autoimmune issues, Babinski decided medically the shot was not the best decision for her.

There are no better informed people than our doctors, nurses, and hospital aides when it comes to covid or the vaccines.
If they are refusing to take them.... consider this seriously.

This hits home !! I transport patients to GLMC in Lacrosse regularly. I know people that work there. One works in one of the departments mentioned. They are looking to lose another 5 nurses because of another situation Covid has created - the traveling nurse !! Nurses are quitting their job to travel nurse. They are making up to 5X the money they make at their current job plus receive allowances for housing and such. Nurses are leaving places in droves and are being replaced by poorly vetted and poorly orientated nurses. Patients are suffering and lives are being lost.
The medical system has really screwed up how they handled this.

The Cleveland Clinic made the same mistake as Gunderson, but reversed the vaccine policy quickly.

The role of the federal judiciary in t4hse crimes against humanity must not be overlooked. The federal judiciary needs to be dismantled & destroyed. It is a danger to our survival.

They were called heroes and are now thrown out.
If a group of people get called heroes look for that same group of “heroes” to be screwed over.
They’ll get low wages, long hours, and eventually get branded as villains.
Pay attention to the people who praise you. Make sure you’re not being manipulated.

Our daughter experienced this firsthand in WA state. During the week she reluctantly was admitted for covid pneumonia she was never offered washcloth, towel, clean gown, change in bedding, assistance to bathroom while tangled in cords and tubing. The floors, bathroom, trash….. only finally dealt with the day of discharge. The day before discharge a nurse came in her room to set up a remote webcam with NO explanation….. apparently to monitor her activity and desalting of her Oxygen levels. We didn’t hold back discussing the lack of basic care as I FaceTimed with daughter 24/7. A respiratory therapist finally came her last 2 days to try to decrease her oxygen from 6L to 4L, and then was sent home with oxygen. I was surprised that the even basic care for someone with pneumonia weren’t provided…. The nebulizer….. because it would “spread the virus in the air.” No wonder folks got worse before better cause pts couldn’t get secretions out! Her main treatment was the oxygen and dexamethazone (steroid) IV. They did blood draws to check her blood sugar than manually. I could go on and on…… and as a nurse of 45 years it saddened me to see the poor quality of pt care.
fyi…… daughter is off her oxygen and still waiting to have her first virtual appt with a pulmonologist (she was discharged Jan 5). As to returning back to work…… as a hygienist she was always masked up. Now she has bad anxiety wearing it. And has the brain fog, etc. and no she’s not vaxxed and was not given the antibodies (refused the first 2 visits to the ER, only to have the govt put them on hold when she was finally admitted when her oxygen sat was down to 83%.)

The best way to handle Covid is to ensure there is no healthcare system to handle Covid. Typical gooberment logic.

It sounds like this hospital had serious staffing issues even before the vax-mandate, which of course made everything worse.

The hospitals have been turned into trashbins, and without nurses. And you didn't think things could get worse. Hospital administrators should be forced to clean the linen.

So do we now change the verbiage from "conspiracy theory" to "conspiracy fact"?
Clearly we can all agree that "conspiracy" is definitely accurate.
I think an accurate verbiage could be "predictions" and "actualization".

Confirming Poster 2. Heard this firsthand from family in Wisconsin months ago. Nurses are quitting, becoming traveling nurses, and being hired by hospitals and practices that do not require mark of the beast vax for traveling nurses due to the nursing shortage. Higher pay, better benefits and no vax.

#12 - That is correct. Many of us applied for and received exemptions. One nurse was offered a job in the Gundersen system. She told them in her interview that she was not going to take the shot. They assured her that she would not be required to take it. So they fired many nurses and staffers because they wouldn’t take the shot but told her that it wasn’t needed to work there. How does that work ??

Of all the insanity we've seen with COVID, this has to be the most insane. Firing healthcare workers in the middle of a pandemic. Crazy.
