They risked it all for you and your family and all you did was get a vaccine and you think you are morally right to support their firing because them getting a covid vaccine would help reduce exposure to covid? They wear protect masks better than the ones you can buy. You realize your risk is higher in person work, socializing and having kids in school. I hope you have taken steps to stop those activities before you toss the first stone.

    A 1/3 of covid cases are in the age group 6-12. You are unlikely to pick up covid in a hospital from a first responder because they are protected wearing the best gear available.

      Here's what the actual data says: "...relative to non-essential workers, medical support staff had the highest risk of severe COVID-19 (RR 8.70, 95% CI 4.87 to 15.55), followed by health associate professionals (RR 7.53, 95% CI 5.44 to 10.43) and healthcare professionals (RR 6.19, 95% CI 3.68 to 10.43)." https://oem.bmj.com/content/78/5/307#T3 https://oem.bmj.com/content/78/5/307#T3 "Frontline HCWs had a significantly increased risk of COVID-19 infection, highest among HCWs who reused PPE or had inadequate access to PPE. However, adequate supplies of PPE did not completely mitigate high-risk exposures." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7273299/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7273299/ "Prior to the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, reports found HCWs accounted for 3.8 to 19 percent of COVID-19 cases." https://www.uptodate.com/contents/covid-19-occupational-health-issues-for-health-care-workers# https://www.uptodate.com/contents/covid-19-occupational-heal...! "Healthcare workers are currently at a much higher risk of being infected by COVID-19...frontline healthcare workers are facing up a nearly 12 times greater risk of a positive COVID-19 test, and those with inadequate access to PPE are at an additional 23% higher risk. Furthermore, we found that if they were directly caring for COVID-19 positive patients, healthcare workers were experiencing a 5 times greater risk of developing the disease, 6 times if they did not have access to proper PPE." https://covid.joinzoe.com/us-post/covid-risk-healthcare-worker https://covid.joinzoe.com/us-post/covid-risk-healthcare-work...
