Maybe their employer requirement if they have one that isn’t of the same crazy brain
I don’t know what can be done but it’s gonna break bad in states like this
Healthcare overload for one Gov state $$$for another
I feel sorry for healthcare workers and really anyone remotely sane in a lot of these places with low vax rate
