> and to the extent it's true is mostly the fault of our having slashed the number of hospital beds over the past decades under the imperatives of for-profit healthcare. I don't disagree with this. Unfortunately, the anti-vax people are almost a 1:1 Venn diagram with the people who are all-in on for-profit healthcare. So, you can complain about this, but you can't use it as justification for anti-vax accommodation since it is caused by the same group of people. > but I also just can't take seriously anyone who professes great concern about ICU capacity while also supporting the mass termination of any nurses who won't take the vaccine. Prophylaxis is an expected minimum thing for the sake of patients. Any nurse who will not wash her hands between operations should be fired even if there is a nursing shortage. If someone is not willing to follow medical prophylaxis, they shouldn't be in medicine.
