Maine Governor Janet Mills (D) on Wednesday activated the National Guard to staff hospitals after firing unvaccinated healthcare workers.
Recall, Governor Janet Mills in August announced that healthcare workers in Maine must be fully vaccinated by October 29.
The Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of approximately 2,000 healthcare workers in August. On October 29 the US Supreme Court in a 6-3 vote rejected the health care workers’ request.
Three conservative justices, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said they would have ruled in favor of the Christian group seeking relief from the Covid vaccine mandate.
Hospitals in Maine are now understaffed due to Mills’s Covid vaccine mandate.
Well, if these nurses have regular civilian jobs (in other words, they are Reservists) their own hospitals will be short staffed if they are moved to hospitals with greater critical needs. Robbing Peter to pay Paul....
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't always work from a practical standpoint. Different hospitals use different software programs, I.V. pumps, etc. I think medical errors will increase in Maine, which might mean loss of life for some patients.
Ditto what anon stated above!
ReplyDeleteMedical errors will increase?
ReplyDeleteI can see that that would likely be true.
But the biggest medical malpractice case in history has already happened and the consequences are rolling out and unfolding as we watch.
