Comedian Larry Miller used to do a bit about getting back together with your ex. He said it’s like finding spoiled milk in the fridge and then putting it back as if it’ll be better the next time you check. A Hospital in Maine is the bad milk, and they want their nurses to come back.
Those would be longtime employees who had careers and relied on the benefits until Maine Gov. Janet Mills signed a vaccine mandate. Healthcare workers had to get jabbed, or they were terminated. In the case of Maine General, religious exemptions were not permitted.
Nurses and other healthcare workers at MaineGeneral Health, one of Maine’s largest healthcare providers, were unceremoniously fired two years ago if they refused to take the experimental mRNA injections touted as COVID-19 preventatives.
Some of those workers were even slapped with misconduct charges for refusing to comply with the mandate, many were later denied unemployment benefits, and no requests for religious exemptions were honored. …
An EEOC claim of discrimination was dismissed after the hospital claimed that “religious accommodations would impose an ‘undue hardship’ on the hospital.” Fired, ineligible for unemployment, health benefits gone, religious rights abrogated, and charged with misconduct. For what?
[Terry]bPoland was never opposed to vaccines, generally speaking. Though she previously used a religious exemption to avoid taking an influenza shot, she willingly took the other vaccines required to work in healthcare prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, including immunizations for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Hepatitis-B.
She said she was concerned about the novel nature of the mRNA technology, a form of gene therapy, which prior to COVID-19 had not been used in the standard schedule of immunizations.
“I knew enough not to take it. I’ve been a nurse long enough to know I need to question what new products are,” Poland said. “I’m not going to be the first one to jump on board of an experiment.”
Terry and I have something in common. I’ve received all sorts of vaccines in my life. I expect that if I had to travel (not likely to happen) to places where you are advised to get vaccinated to protect against the local scourge, and it’s been around a long time, that would be fine. But I am on the record stating that I would wait until the COVID Vaxx-human test trials were completed before deciding about the COVID-19 vaccine.
That trial is ongoing, but the results thus far are not encouraging. I have pre-existing conditions (white, male, Christian, Conservative, happily married, parent, small government, low tax, pro-liberty, … sorry, wrong conditions). Cardiac Artery Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. They are managed well and of little day-to-day concern, but based on what has been pried from the FDA and Pfizer, among others, I’m still a hard pass.
Even if it had some value in preventing infection, which it does not, the Myocarditis and Pericarditis risks alone are a no-go, no matter what the cardiologists have been told by the Hospital to say.
As for work, I was fortunate that my soon-to-be former employer never implemented any mandates during COVID, other than the one where you show up to work on time every day and do your job like you always did. But you could ask yourself, what if? Your employer fires you over refusing an untested pharmaceutical and technology (mRNA) that has since been proven to be more dangerous than doing nothing. No benefits, no unemployment pay, and you’ve been effectively blacklisted by them as a bad apple. Then they say, hey, sorry about that. Would you like to come back to work? Here’s Terry Poland’s response.
“I was livid. Like, how dare you force me out of a career that I’ve dedicated my whole life to, taken away my livelihood, my ability to earn a good income, and now you think I’m gonna come grovel back to you?” Poland said. “I don’t hardly think so. And that’s the attitude of most everybody that I’ve been in contact with since yesterday.”
She misspelled f**k off, you skeeving bastards, but you get the idea.
