Went to hospital for a test

[boston bean]

asked the tech administering if she was vaxed. Answer was yes. I told her good cause if she wasn’t I would have left.

She went on to tell me that hospital policy is everyone must be vaxed. I said great. She thought so too. She did tell me they lost a few in the department who refused. I said good riddance to them they don’t belong around sick people.

1. Nor do they need to be around people they can make sick.

4. I suspect that healthcare workers who won't get vaxxed...

are in the job for the wrong reasons. Seems to me that "first do no harm" kind of requires ensuring that they won't harm their patients by spreading contagions.

6. I'd say the same about cops who refuse to get vaccinated as well...

7. Yeah, what part of "protect and serve" covers spreading serious diseases?

5. There are people who will follow the rules

for a good paying job.

8. I admire you!! I think I'd have asked for a different tech... and if that wasn't an option, I'd leave.

9. This is what having each other's back looks like

You know the anti-vaxx knuckleheads support each other no matter how unhinged a person sounds about the Covid vaccines. There is no HIPAA prohibition against asking a person if he, she or they have been vaccinated. And have your response prepared regardless of the answer (yes, no, not tellin', none of your beeswax, that's a violation of HIPAA (no, it's not), or whatever).
