major health care organizations call for mandating vaccines
The American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association have joined up with over 50 other health care organizations to call for mandatory vaccinations in their own industries, citing rising COVID cases and their trust in the vaccine.
“Due to the recent COVID-19 surge and the availability of safe and effective vaccines, our health care organizations and societies advocate that all health care and long-term care employers require their workers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine,” the organizations wrote in a joint statement on Monday morning.
Between them, these health care organizations represent millions of physicians, nurses and other health care workers across the country, including pediatricians, oncologists and pharmacists.
And they don’t think the health care industry should be the only one to require vaccines. They also called on other industries to follow suit.
“As the health care community leads the way in requiring vaccines for our employees, we hope all other employers across the country will follow our lead and implement effective policies to encourage vaccination,” the joint statement said. “The health and safety of U.S. workers, families, communities, and the nation depends on it.”
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, just 58 percent of nursing home staff are vaccinated. According to one estimate in late May, 1 in 4 health care workers were unvaccinated in the U.S. In some places, like Florida, the rates were as low as 40 percent.
Nationwide, the U.S. is struggling to increase its vaccination rates past 50 percent of the total population, including children, and missed President Joe Biden’s goal to get 70 percent of adults vaccinated with one shot by July Fourth. As of Monday, about three weeks later, still just 69 percent of adults had met that goal, while 60 percent of adults were fully vaccinated, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
The influential statement has the potential to move the needle on an issue that, so far, has held up in court and proven to be effective at increasing vaccinations, at least in the health care field. Over the winter, Houston Methodist became the first hospital to require vaccines for its staff, and many hospital systems around the country have followed suit. In Houston, the hospital was sued, but won a lawsuit over the requirement and saw the vast majority of its 26,000-person staff get vaccinated, while around 150 quit or were fired for not adhering to the policy.
That decision spurred a recent statement from another massive health care organization, the American Hospital Association, to call for mandatory vaccinations in hospitals and paved the way for even more to get on board as they did on Monday.
“I think it’s incredible to see these organizations come together and make the bold statement to mandate vaccinations, which we know are safe and effective,” said Dr. Jay Bhatt, the former chief medical officer for the AHA and an ABC News contributor.
“We know, as Americans, it’s hard for folks to agree on a lot of things. So if we’re seeing big organizations agree on vaccinations, we should be paying attention to it,” Bhatt said.
In defending their reasons, the groups that came out in support of vaccine mandates on Monday said it was necessary for caregivers to protect patients who might be immunocompromised or not yet eligible for a vaccine, and for their own health.
The organizations emphasized their confidence in the vaccines, which are safe and effective, and hinted at the fact that the vaccines would be fully approved by the FDA soon, which will also bring more employer mandates. Currently, the vaccine is authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization, which is a temporary approval.
“As we move towards full FDA approval of the currently available vaccines, all health care workers should get vaccinated for their own health, and to protect their colleagues, families, residents of long-term care facilities and patients. This is especially necessary to protect those who are vulnerable, including unvaccinated children and the immunocompromised,” the joint statement said. “Indeed, this is why many health care and long-term care organizations already require vaccinations for influenza, hepatitis B, and pertussis.”
Also on Monday, the Department of Veteran Affairs announced that it would mandate the vaccine for its doctors and nurses. The decision came after four unvaccinated employees of the department died in recent weeks. The mandate will go into place in two months.
Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Dennis McDonough said the mandate is “the best way to keep veterans safe, especially as the Delta variant spreads across the country.”
While there is a risk of pushback that could lead to people leaving their jobs, particularly in parts of the country where there is more refusal to get the vaccine, the rising levels of the delta variant, which currently makes up 83 percent of all cases in the U.S., could also hit hospital workforces hard, particularly for doctors and nurses on the frontlines of the pandemic.
“Either way, there’s a risk of them not being in the workforce. And I would say the cost of getting COVID is great enough that it warrants vaccination,” said Bhatt.
But for those who can’t be vaccinated because of medical reasons, which the groups estimated to be “a small minority of all workers,” they should be evaluated individually.

FYI- WHAT IS THE CDC FOUNDATION?
Established by Congress, the CDC Foundation helps the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do more, faster, by forging effective partnerships between CDC and corporations, foundations, organizations and individuals to fight threats to health and safety. The CDC Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity.

So it’s like a sort of propagandist/laundering/fraud front?
While they worry about vaccines, even early last year I specifically mentioned opioids as a serious overlooked problem.
For some reason it was the very first thing I kinda used for comparisons with covid and how pharma/institutional ignorance worsen things.
Apparently, in America, opioids did SUPER well in 2020 (judging by stats relating to deaths associated with opioids and such). I wonder how much sickness associated with things like opioids is conveniently conflated and misattributed.
“From October 2019 to October 2020, there were 91,862 estimated overdose deaths in the U.S., which represents a 30% increase in 12 months”
Wonderful, isn’t it? And that garbage is even prescribed to children. Now let’s look at some details of the ethical paragon known as drug dealing:
https://scitechdaily.com/physicians-more-likely-to-prescribe-opioids-if-they-received-gifts-from-pharma-companies/
“While there was a relationship between gifts and opioid prescribing in all specialties, there was considerable variability. Primary care physicians were 3.5 times as likely to be in the highest quartile of opioid prescribing if they were paid $100 or more in gifts. Psychiatrists and neurologists who were paid $100 or more were 13 times as likely to be in the highest quartile of opioid prescribing compared to their counterparts who received less.”
Isn’t it need to see those sort of types dealing with “mental problems” and such being rather susceptible to the virtue known as whoring?
Just imagine if you had to consider the bribery related sort of safety from things like antibiotics, statins, benzos, etc. and even associate them with disease incidence, too!

For any overview of pharma industry.
Okay so doctors kinda read marketing catalogues/associations. When they’ve memorized them, that’s called education. Then they’re allowed to deal drugs.
Now sometimes, there are new drugs, so they need to be updated. Thus they get their set of dealer instructions patched such as indicated here:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32350126/
” Results: Among 43 778 physicians included after propensity-score matching, physicians who received opioid-related industry payments in 2016 prescribed more opioids (153.8 vs 129.7; adjusted difference (95% CI), 24.1 (19.1 to 29.1)) and accounted for more spending due to opioids ($10 476 vs $6983; adjusted difference (95% CI), $3493 (2854 to 4134)) in 2017, compared with physicians who did not receive payments. The association was larger among primary care physicians than surgeons or specialists. The dose-response analysis revealed that even a small amount of industry payments was sufficient to effectively affect physicians’ prescription practice of opioids.
Conclusions: Opioid-related industry payments to physicians in the prior year were associated with a higher number of opioid prescriptions and expenditures for opioid products in the subsequent year. ”
Now just imagine that applying for any class of drugs, throughout medical industry.

That’s the problem with being a doctor. If you work for pharma, you can’t be a doctor. Since you work for pharma. And the thing is, you can’t be a drug dealer without working for pharma.
So I decided to be an actuary instead.

Without a competent PCR test, there is no way to track cases efficiently…thus no spike in cases, it is false. You are in dream land if you think the mRNA experimental nano-particle injections are safe…that has yet to be proven over the next 5-10 years, for me anyway. Even if proven 110% safe and effective, I will not submit to getting any pharma controlled injection filled with numerous body killing poisons.

Kinda fitting how this site has mercury in it. Though I figure they need to keep up with the times and perhaps rename themselves aluminumnews.
https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/07/30/massive-outbreaks-in-cape-cod-proves-vaccinated-can-get-covid-heres-what-we-know/
I hope that article puts you at ease about the settled safety and usefulness of vaccines.
“Here’s what the CDC reported.
Q: What just happened?
A: During July, 469 cases of COVID-19 were reported following multiple summer events and large public gatherings in Provincetown, a seaside town at the northern tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Q: What were these people doing?
A: They reported attending densely packed indoor and outdoor events at venues that included bars, restaurants, guest houses, and rental homes.
Q: Were they vaccinated?
A: Of these cases, about three-quarters (74%) were “breakthrough” infections, occurring in people who were fully vaccinated. About one-quarter (26%) occurred in unvaccinated people.
Q: Which vaccines did they get?
A: All three: Pfizer-BioNTech (46%), Moderna ( 38%), and Janssen (16%). They had been vaccinated, on average, nearly three months before infection.
Q: Is the delta variant involved?
A: Yes. Delta was found in 90% of specimens.
Q: Did they get sick?
A: Overall, 274 (79%) of the vaccinated patients with breakthrough infection had symptoms. The most common symptoms were cough, headache, sore throat, fatigue and fever.
Q: Were the illnesses severe?
A: Five people were hospitalized. Of these, four were fully vaccinated. Their ages ranged from 20 to 70. Two had underlying medical conditions.
One patient, in his 50s, was not vaccinated and had multiple underlying medical conditions.
Q: Did anyone die?
A: No.
Q: Could the vaccinated people with “breakthrough” infections transmit the virus to others?
A: The study didn’t look at that. It did not investigate whether someone got their infection from a vaccinated person.
But it did find that the levels of the virus, as estimated by PCR testing, were similar in vaccinated and unvaccinated infections. This strongly suggests that vaccinated people, if they are infected, can transmit the virus just as readily as unvaccinated people.
Q: Did the vaccinated people who were not infected also have transmissible virus?
A: The study did not look at uninfected people. It only measured viral levels in infected “breakthrough” cases. But the science seems clear: If the virus isn’t living in your body, you won’t transmit it.
Q: What don’t we yet know?
A: The findings in the CDC report are subject to at least four limitations.”
There are some real gems in there….

I hope people will refuse to use the Globalist compliance-inducing term “Vaccine Mandates”, carefully chosen to soften the reality of this Forced Physical Assault by the State on Every Citizen. They started this with Forced Physical Assault by Airport Security Staff on Every Passenger, with certain passengers singled out for Gross Assault on Reproductive Organs, as Obedience Training for the Masses.
These are not “mandates”. Forced Vaccinations are “Assault with the Intention of Inflicting Grievous Bodily Harm” and “Attempted Murder”.
