Some will quit (or, technically, be fired for failing to comply with job requirements)
But the numbers suggest that most of the people who threaten to quit when surveyed don’t actually quit when they’re forced to choose: https://theconversation.com/half-of-unvaccinated-workers-say-theyd-rather-quit-than-get-a-shot-but-real-world-data-suggest-few-are-following-through-168447 https://theconversation.com/half-of-unvaccinated-workers-say...
The remainder of hospital workers who refuse to vaccinate against a highly contagious disease that is particularly deadly to vulnerable patients (such as hospitalized patients) are clearly unqualified to be working with vulnerable patients anyway.
The headlines are trying to make this sound like a catastrophic wave of employee losses, but in practice it’s barely a blip on the radar.
- verdverm 5y agoIs 1/10 workers a blip? This article has the number at 16% https://www.thedailybeast.com/ny-gov-kathy-hochul-declares-state-of-emergency-for-looming-hospital-staffing-shortage-over-vaccines https://www.thedailybeast.com/ny-gov-kathy-hochul-declares-s...

I might believe this if being recovered from COVID counted, but it does not. If those nurses are recovered, they are not idiots for refusing the vaccine.
- AndrewBissell 5y agoJust don't pretend to care about ICU capacity after making a post like this. Also there's no case for mandates because the vaccines are garbage at preventing transmission.
- johntfella 5y agowhat is not being taken into account is the compounding effect of the generalised shortage and how over worked everyone is. burn out is already there and there are alternative employment options for the ones that don't want the vaccine. it doesn't have to be a huge number that resigns/gets fired to push things over the edge for those who are vaccinated and staying on the job.
