vaccine mandates

Providing consistent high-quality healthcare is difficult and complex, and because frontline workers, who directly interact with patients, are critical to achieving that, attracting, retaining, and motivating these staff is essential.

Lars kicked things off by mentioning former presidential candidate RFK Jr., who has achieved a small following with his unhinged anti-vaccine views.

As a physician, I have long advocated that healthcare workers, in particular, be vaccinated to reduce the risk of transmission to our patients

The Failure of Complex Systems

1. A feeble attempt at grammar

Exactly two years ago, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. At the time, 118,000 cases and 4,000 deaths had been reported. Today, over 450 million people have been diagnosed, and over six million have died from the virus.

The anti-mandaters claim not. In support of their position, articles are cited asserting that vaccines mandates shouldn’t work and are counter-productive.

Everyone should agree that the better course of action would be to persuade timely vaccine uptake rather than mandate.
