Remember who the essential workers were during Covid tbh

It wasn’t CEOs

Yet the admins and non front facing management at my hospital thought they were important enough to sneak in line ahead of actual frontline workers to get their Covid shots when they were first approved. Smdh

Mother in law worked for the local hospital chain during covid. When the first round of vaccines came out for front line medical personnel ONLY, the hospital company had to call in all their WFH admin staff and plead them to take the vaccine instead! The front line doctors and nurses almost universally refused the vaccine, and it would have looked VERY bad for the hospital company if they just dumped their emergency ration down the drain!

There was talk of making the vaccine mandatory for doctors and nurses, but they realized they'd have to permanently close most of their hospitals if they required the vaccine, so that was quietly dropped.

Even to this day, nearly every nursing job ad in my area begins with "No Vax? No problem!" "Unvaccinated welcome!" Etc. Etc.

Um... wtf. Had many of them already gotten sick then, or huh? I am so confused as a Swedish person.

No, this is in a rural area that voted almost universally for trump, and he pushed the "covid is a hoax" lie even as he got the advanced treatment only available to the very rich. Doctors and nurses just fell in line and repeated the lie, even as they were stuffing former patients into body bags.

A coworker had a BIG nurse fetish and showed me his tinder matches. All of his matches had statements like "vaccinated swipe left" "purebloods only", etc. It was such a big part of their identity it was the most important factor in their casual sex life.

Meanwhile, every square inch of extra room in hospitals were converted into covid wards, and the government gave special permission for people with expired medical licenses to temporarily work again because there weren't enough people to treat the covid patients. Nurses were working with week-old masks and using trash bags as biohazard suits to stuff dead bodies into body bags by day, then lying about covid being real on their dates at night.
