Hochul considering deployment of National Guard to address health worker shortage
By Rachel Scully - 09/25/21 09:11 PM EDT

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is considering deploying the medically trained members of the National Guard ahead of an anticipated shortage of health care workers.

Hochul released a comprehensive plan to address staff shortages in New York facilities Saturday, amid concerns that a large number of health care employees will not meet Monday's vaccine deadline.

"We are still in a battle against COVID to protect our loved ones, and we need to fight with every tool at our disposal," Hochul said, according to a release on the state website. "I am monitoring the staffing situation closely, and we have a plan to increase our health care workforce and help alleviate the burdens on our hospitals and other health care facilities.

Good lord.  We clearly went from frying pan to fire with this bitch.

In a few months, we'll all be looking back with nostalgia at those wonderful Cuomo years.

Relax, NY.  Luckily you'll be getting all the high skilled labor from Afghanistan and Haiti to ease the shortages.

Man, I've never seen such misuse of the Guard as there has been lately. These guys may as well give up on civilian jobs.

Letter: Hochul is shapeshifting into a far-left Democrat

Recently many of us had high hopes Kathy Hochul would be a good, moderate clear-thinking governor. Now, minds are changing. I mean, look who she appointed lieutenant governor, a fist shaking, loud talking downstate liberal activist. It was really a sight to see. Hochul on one side of him and Al Sharpton on the other. Mark my words, they will turn “our Kathy” into the next Gretchen Whitmer.

I mean look at the rhetoric that is coming out of her already.

New York governor declares ‘disaster emergency’ amid staffing shortage crisis prompted by vaccine resisters
New restrictions in New York went into effect Monday, but tens of thousands of health-care workers are believed to have refused vaccination
By Eli Rosenberg
Today at 8:38 a.m. EDT

Tens of thousands of health-care workers in New York are likely to have refused a coronavirus vaccine before a state requirement went into effect on Monday, serving as a preview of resistance that the Biden administration’s vaccine requirements will face on a bigger scale in coming weeks.

Resistance to the coronavirus vaccines means large numbers of health-care workers could face dismissals or unpaid leaves of absence in the state, exacerbating an already existing labor shortage in the critical world of medical care during the pandemic.

The Biden administration, meanwhile, is writing its own vaccine requirements, which would apply to a much larger group of workers, effectively anyone working at a firm with more than 100 employees. The clash in New York could presage much bigger confrontations around the country in coming weeks as the Biden administration tries to roll out its new policies and resistance to government measures to mitigate the pandemic animates the country’s right wing. ...

As a former healthcare worker & first responder let me leave you with this: if 70,000 healthcare workers are willing to be fired rather than take a mandatory shot - what does that say to you?
