I am perfectly happy to have a COVID spewing firefighter get me to the hospital after a car accident and let me take my chances there, than to be left without

  >I am perfectly happy to have a COVID spewing firefighter get me to the hospital after a car accident and let me take my chances there, than to be left without a first responder. 100% of the time. Except that doesn't apply to this situation. IIRC, ~95-97% of cops, EMTs and firefighters in NYC were already vaccinated and those that weren't were given ample time (extended several times) to get vaccinated. As such, that was never an issue. That said, there certainly was an arbitrary and capricious standard applied in this case.

  I would rather have a live and vaccinated firefighter take me to the hospital than have to wait at home because an unvaccinated firefighter died of COVID or is hooked up to a vent

    Someone healthy enough to be a firefighter has a near-zero chance of being hospitalized because of Covid.

      Can't be that near zero if COVID deaths were about the same as all other causes of firefighter deaths combined in 2021.

        Didn't know that. Thank you. Of course, there's the huge complicating factor that the official figures for "covid deaths" conflate "died with" and "died from".
