California Health Care Workers Protest Against Vaccine Mandate Outside Hospitals

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Hospital workers protested outside of their hospital Monday against the COVID-19 vaccine mandate in the state of California.

Dozens of demonstrators were outside the facility for a two-hour rally that began at 8 a.m. as nurses and doctors protested California's vaccination mandate, which was announced on August 5 by the California Department of Public Health.

All health care workers in hospitals, nursing facilities, clinics, doctor's offices and others are required to present their proof of vaccination by September 30.

Protesters shouted, "It's our body, our choice," outside the Children's Hospital Orange County and Providence St. Josephs Hospital.

1. Majority have been vaccinated . . .

Un-vaccinated healthcare workers is risk.

Just saying.

2. Eye roll.

3. Dump all anti-vaxxers. They are needed to in Sturgis to give first aid

to stumbling drunks who fell face-first on the curb.

4. This is excellent.

Looks like we will be weeding a lot of science deniers out of medical care jobs. They never belonged there anyway. I wouldn't want anyone involved in these protests to be taking care of me.

6. Why am I dubious these were all health care workers?

8. That term covers a lot of people who work in the hospital.

Janitors, kitchen staff, transport personnel, etc.

9. The second paragraph calls them doctors and nurses.

10. Chalk it up to sloppy reporting. Doctors have a

95% vaccination rate. The rate drops with education level.
“The order applies to those who provide services or work in hospitals, nursing facilities, psychiatric hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices. It also includes dialysis centers and residential substance use treatment centers and at least a half-dozen other facilities.”
