“I’m sorry but we are going to have to let you go if you do not comply with the mandatory vaccination.” After avoiding this moment for months, I decide to withhold my thoughts and emotions in this moment to look my leader calmly in the eye. I am resolved to reply slowly and carefully as I chant, “Lord Have Mercy” in my head.
Every time I think about my future termination, my thoughts always go to the last two years. The elaborate signs and posters up throughout my hospital everywhere in tribute of our staff as we worked through COVID. Nurses often volunteered to take on extra shifts and endured brutal conditions without enough PPE.
You worked long hours knowing you were probably not going to be relieved at the end of the shift. As a senior male nurse, I was routinely given charge duty and sometimes more patients than the average nurse. We pulled together, all of us just wondering how to get through the outrageous nurse to patient ratios because “COVID crisis”.
Our managers and hospital administrators expected us to adjust and cope with higher nurse/patient ratios, while being told that we were doing this to help our community. Pondering the upcoming shift while commuting early to work, I would often pray for strength to overcome the uneasiness, fear and dread.
We were frequently mandated to float to different floors (ICU,PCU, Med Surg, Ortho, Oncology, etc). This was stressful. We never never knew where the supplies were, how many patients we would be given, and what level of care (how sick the patients would actually be). The constant uncertainty quickly took its toll on each one of us. When I asked for assistance or training that I needed to take care of my patients properly, I was told, “You’re a nurse, you will figure it out.” I knew that we were as alone as little fish in a big pond at that point.
My constant prayer was, “Lord have mercy, not just on me but on the patients I must care for under such circumstances.”
The administrators just said, “Great job” – all the while giving each other kudos for being exceptional leaders. After the fatigue, anger and frustration got too much, my coworkers started to quit. Not just one or two here and there, but 2-3 people per week per nursing floor. Something just was not adding up…
For the benefit of the public, our hospital system ran ads to garner sympathy for how hard we were working during the crisis, and how many sacrifices the hospitals were making. Ads were placed on TV and the radio by my hospital system praising their nurses for their bravery while generating positive PR for the hospital brand. The ads did the trick. People stood outside my hospital waving and carrying signs telling us that we were in their thoughts and prayers. We were heroes in scrubs. The public support helped us through the long and stressful days.
Behind the scenes, my large hospital system (as many were all over the country) was receiving emergency FEMA funding due to the “COVID” crisis. This massive federal jackpot ensured the hospital (nominally non-profit) would make money regardless. Not everyone was sacrificing at the same level.
At the height of the “crisis”, hospitals shut down operating rooms and all outpatient surgeries (Cath labs, heart procedures, Endoscopies). Patients were denied life-saving procedures. The pain and suffering was heart breaking. Suddenly, literally COVID EVERYTHING became the norm. COVID testing, COVID infusions, COVID monitoring of the entrances, waiting rooms converted into swab testing centers. One virus became the sole focus of our entire hospital. It was as if no other condition and no death from any other cause even mattered.
Patients that tested positive for COVID on admission, but eventually passed away from other conditions, were still considered to be COVID deaths. Lord, have Mercy!
The COVID units sometimes were full, but most of the time there were only a few patients and the empty beds in those units were left unfilled. This enabled keeping the units on lockdown so patients could be denied visitors.
Now that months have passed, and COVID admissions have dropped, our facility has opened its doors and procedural areas again. Administration is pushing for business. “Lets go!” they say in meetings. We exchange quiet looks, all with the same thought, “With what staff?”
So many of our coworkers have quit that we are barely functioning. We have lost staff that have either quit nursing altogether, retired earlier than planned or decided to travel for the incredible income opportunity it brings. Many are going to states and areas that are unionized, while some are actively pushing for nursing union organizations in Florida. Nurses have seen the power wielded by the teaching unions in Florida, and are envious of that level of professional protection.
The high number of travel nurses especially breaks morale and accelerates the loss of staff nurses. Why work on a unit with too high nurse / patient ratios next to a traveler making 3 to 4 times what you are and who can leave for a new contract at any time? Especially if the travelers can say no to the vaccines, while an employ like you might not be allowed to.
Now it seems as if all our sacrifices were in vain. The praise, the signs, the ads, the respect and support are all a distant memory. When the vaccines did not exist, we were heroes that risked ourselves to save lives. It wasn’t the ultra rich administrators that worked with the COVID patients, it was us.
But that was before we were personally demonized by the President of the United States. The president says he no longer has patience for those of us (80 plus million strong) who are unvaccinated. Unvaccinated nurses have gone from heroes in scrubs to enemies of the people in the space of a few short months. Lord have mercy!
Even before the president declared us a public menace, the working conditions for unvaccinated nurses were deteriorating. Now that there is an inoculation, we who have concerns and have chosen not to vaccinate are monsters that refuse to listen to “the science.” There is a determined effort amongst our administration to segregate and shame those who have not vaccinated. Managers in my hospital blatantly ask employees in group meetings if they are planning on being vaccinated. When did asking about personal medical decisions in a group setting become normal?
If the employee is not vaccinated, managers often take it a step further and demand to know why the individual has not taken the shot yet. This is traumatizing, demoralizing and disrespectful to the staff members they are supposed to be caring for and leading. The same staff they trust to care for human beings and save lives, is the same staff they chastise and lecture like disobedient children.
Frankly, it is no one’s business as to why I will not take the vaccine at this time. I am not answering these questions in my public workplace. No one can force me to discuss my medical conditions, my religious beliefs, and my questions about the efficacy of the shot. Lord have mercy!
The vaccinated employees have a mark/sticker on their ID badges to show their compliance. They are commended and appreciated. Those that don’t have the mark are treated as if they are walking around with Ebola intentionally trying to kill those around them.
If they are vaccinated and protected, why are they so afraid of those that are not? Everyone in our hospital system is still masking at all times regardless of being vaccinated or not. This makes no sense, unless the vaccine isn’t as effective as they hoped it would be.
Unvaccinated nurses have been told that we “don’t care about the patients and should not be working in healthcare.” We are the same nurses who, a few short months ago, were praised as brave heroes. We are now told that we should be past asking questions about the vaccines and need to trust the CDC and the NIH. Only monsters ask questions of “the science.” Lord have mercy!
At our facility only around 48 percent of our staff is vaccinated. All employees are masked continuously (whether in a clinical role or not) and wearing PPE at all times with any patient care. Many of us have already had COVID and have natural immunity. Apparently no one wants to talk about that at all. A new Israeli study confirms what we have seen anecdotally, vaccinated people were 13x as likely to be infected and 27x as likely to have symptomatic infections as those with natural immunity.
My healthcare system is very pro-vaccine. As noted, we are extremely “encouraged” (read pressured) to vaccinate. Despite this, most have chosen not to. But now the President has decided to up the ante and federally mandate that companies our size must require vaccination.
The administrators are using President Biden’s actions as cover for what they wanted to do all along. Our hospital system is now working with other hospital systems in the area to organize a joint push to force over 50% of their healthcare workers be vaccinated or lose their jobs. The collusion is necessary, because everyone is understaffed. One hospital system enforcing a mandate would simply bleed staff to those that aren’t. So they are negotiating to do it together, hoping that we will have no choice but to comply. If they all require it, then switching jobs is less attractive, obviously.
Our hospital head announced this collusion openly at a staff meeting. We only wish it was a conspiracy theory. It is all too real. He said to us all – anyone who does not vaccinate should not be a nurse. The unvaccinated nurses are ignorant or stubborn. Or both.
From 15 days to flatten the curve to keep the hospitals from being overrun, we have now progressed to threatening to fire experienced nurses in the middle of a staff shortage. The fewer the nurses, the fewer the hospital the beds.
We are understaffed, tired, and traumatized. Administrators and patients may not care about this yet. The horror stories about patients being turned away from ER’s were never really true. But they will be. And sooner than you think. Without nurses, there are no hospitals.
We are NOT AntiVaxx, this is a complete myth. Many of us want to see the long-term data. We want to see the long-term effects to those that have taken the vaccine in 5-10 years. We know that the FDA is well-known for having a questionable approval history for new drugs. Approvals often lack data transparency. We know that the “studies” cited to prove COVID vaccine safety have a major flaw because “only half of trial participants (53%) made it to the four month mark.” Mean follow-up is around 4.4 months. A few months of data does not constitute actual research.
As nurses, we treat people with adverse drug reactions all the time. We are familiar with drugs being taken off the market, even after FDA approval, because of safety concerns. And yes, we treat those injured by the COVID vaccines.
The hospital form to take the vaccine says, that by signing it, we are stating that we are taking it “voluntarily” and that the risks of the vaccine are still “unknown and the risks of death are possible”. Why would anyone sign such a document? Why would anyone take such a vaccine?
It is not a voluntary situation if they tell you that you will lose your job if you don’t vaccinate. They are using intimidation, duress and discipline to ensure that we comply.
I personally will not have any government official tell me that I have to take any sort of medicine, shot, or treatment. This is my body and only I will decide for myself without coercion.
What is to keep the government from mandating the next pill that will save humanity? Can they mandate your children take medications, even without parental permission? How could this possibly happen? If you let them take control over your body, it is over. They now own you and will own your future generations. I will fight to prevent this in order to give my children and grandchildren the freedom that should be their birthright as citizens of the United States of America.
The existing EUA vaccines have a liability shield which means that everyone involved with the product is protected from being sued. Hmmm… Why is that? And why did this liability shield exist so early on? It is if they knew there was and is going to be harm and death to people who take the shot.
People who take an EUA vaccine and end up suffering injuries can only obtain compensation after applying to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). The program has only awarded compensation to three percent of the claims made. On the other hand, people have the right not to take the vaccine. Once upon a time, businesses couldn’t force employees to take EUA vaccine injections. This right has always been protected under federal laws. Now, that seems to have all changed.
May the lord have mercy on all of the strong nursing professionals, healthcare workers, firefighters, police officers in our beautiful State of Florida that will refuse this mandate. May we not fight alone.
Most gracious God, incline Thy merciful ears unto our prayer, and enlighten our hearts by the grace of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may worthily approach Thy Holy Mysteries and love Thee with an everlasting love.

Kyrie Eleison imas!
I do sympathize, but not a whole lot.
You see, you are the people who were lauded as heroes, yet kept loved ones from getting treatments, or from visiting them in the hospitals.
You were also the ones putting out the sick tik tok dance videos which denegrated the suffering of the rest of us, and showed truly what type of work environment you were in.
In short, you were part of the system. Why should you be surprised when the system turns on you, as it has everyone else.
How many nurses are out there pushing the shot? How many nurses willingly gave the shot to others? How many nurses forced the shots on the old, the mentally deficient, and children? How many nurses commit hidden euthanasia every day?
Yet you are heroes?
Yes. “Lord Have Mercy,” indeed.
I absolutely agree with your stance that we as healthcare givers and first responders are not true heroes. We are fallible, we are broken and tired. We are not the heroes that the PR media image paid consultants for the large hospital systems claim we are. It was simply a description of how cancel culture has enveloped us into this group that should now be ruined because we will not vaccinate. We are a large group, we have numbers and we have conviction. We hope that other Orthodox Christians will pray that God will give us direction and strength in this current tribulation past this uncomfortableness to ensure our kids and grandkids have freedom in the generations to come.
I’m not a nurse but I will not, under any circumstances consent to being injected with this. I expect real trouble is coming for all who are like me and I accept that. I won’t change my mind. I doubt you need to be called heroes. However, we stand at the edge of the Rubicon. All nurses, hospital staff, and other emergency workers must hold the line now in their refusal to be bullied. What will they do when all the hospitals have to close down? You may yet play the part of heroes if you stand firm. You could cause this agenda to come screeching to a halt.
Luke,
Thank you for sharing your plight and for enlightening us to the truth behind hospital doors. You’re not alone. I am aware of three nurses, in three different states, facing the SAME narratives, SAME situation. One is Orthodox and has shared with me the extreme pressure she’s under to submit. She will be terminated. They have told me to stay out of hospitals, period. It’s that bad? Yes, it’s that bad I’m told. Without nurses, we are sunk. So now you’re only a hero if you’re jabbed? So it seems. However, Luke, you’re a hero to all of us here and are in our prayers. Thank you for being a witness to the truth. God bless you for your dedication, and may He give you strength.
Let us pray to the Holy New Martyrs Empress Alexandra and Grand Duchess Elizabeth for ALL nurses, as they were nurses and caregivers too, during great times of unspeakable human suffering. The Holy Grand Duchess Elizabeth was a nurse to the very end of her martyred life.
Lord have mercy!
reposted from lewrockwell.com – How to fight HR and tie them in nots.
DO NOT QUIT! FIGHT!
Thank you for this note. You are in a common situation. There is no one size fits all approach, but let me give you a few suggestions for your situation and which apply to many other situations as well.
No One Has A Crystal Ball
Would you have believed a month ago that the Taliban would be in Kabul with perhaps 10,000+ American hostage and $80 billion+ of American weapons, while world leaders call Hillary Clinton for advice, the White House ignores phone calls, Biden is back in his basement in Delaware eating ice cream, and the illegitimate President of the US and illegitimate Vice President play chicken with each other for days on who will address the compliant media first?
Me neither.
My point is this — a lot can change in a month.
Time Is On Your Side & Their Narrative Is Crumbling
It is almost 60 days until you need to take this shot. A lot can happen. I strongly recommend that you turn in zero paperwork until as close to October 14, 2021, as you can. Zero. Nothing. Follow the policy. October 15, 2021, is your deadline. Treat it as your deadline.
Time is your friend. Eventually, enough self-righteous condo association Vice Presidents will develop Bell’s palsy and enough high school all-conference athletes will suddenly have the myocarditic heart strength of an 84-year-old stroke patient for the vaccine side effects to be impossible to ignore. People in the thousands, in impossible to ignore positions in their communities, are suddenly developing weird conditions after taking the vaccine. It’s not just easy to ignore grandmas in Cuomo’s murderous and criminal nursing homes getting strangely sick from the vaccine now. Anyone willing to consider correlation is encountering acquaintances and friends of friends with very strange conditions after taking the vaccine. Causation will soon follow. The “safe and effective” narrative around this vaccine is quickly crumbling.
What Your Policy & Many Policies Say About FDA Approval — A Loophole, For A Time
The policy you sent also says this:
“1.) Acceptable vaccines and vaccine schedule.
a) Any vaccine that is currently approvedfor use by the US Food and Drug Administration and/or the World Health Organization is considered acceptable.”
I do not expect the bought and paid for industry-controlled FDA to come through for you, but if some lowlife bureaucrat hasn’t gotten his pharma payoff yet and is still holding up the process of full FDA approval, or if that approval has been retracted, then on October 14, 2021, you are sending this:
Dear Dave in HR,
Per the policy, I am to be vaccinated with a vaccine that is approved by the US FDA.
“Any vaccine that is currently approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration and/or the World Health Organization is considered
acceptable.”
Please send a list of approved vaccines.
Respectfully,
Allan Stevo
You can send this and have useful results because the unsafe, ineffective, experimental Covid shots are largely not “FDA approved.” They are largely under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). FDA approval doesn’t say much anyway. Vioxx, which killed more than a hundred thousand Americans, was under FDA approval too. It’s just useful to take note of this and keep it in mind as a possible way around your employer’s policy if the path to full FDA approval has a hiccup.
Currently, well-respected and well-connected county public health officials are giving public comment that approval is expected by Labor Day, September 6, 2021. The Monday, August 23, 2021 approval was the most ridiculous “approval.” Robert Kennedy and Dr. Meryl Nass have an excellent piece of analysis that highlights the deceitful process being reported in the media as “full FDA approval.” It is very important to not believe a single secondary source in the media nor to believe a single claim made in the media and to instead read the primary source material. The media has been deceitful on the very smallest topics through this all and has lost all credibility. Anyone who believes the media should be treated as not credible as well.
I wish you didn’t need to do so much reading to understand the trick the captive FDA, captive media, your employer, and big pharma were trying to pull on you, but that is the time we live in.
Your intuition that this is bad for you is all that is needed. You can walk away from these creeps anytime you want. The contortion of abiding by these contorted policies in order to remain unsullied by the Covid shot is only required by those who seek to continue living a life surrounded by these creeps.
What To Do If WHO & FDA Are Not In Agreement
Your employer’s policy is broadly written to arguably include the WHO as a loophole if the WHO and FDA are not in agreement. If there is WHO approval, but not FDA approval, or vice versa, you can try something like this in reply to the response to the above.
Dear Dopey Dave in HR,
Thank you for your note.
Can you tell me more about why the corporate policy allows for WHO or FDA approval? As you might imagine, with the track records of the two governing bodies, I am far more comfortable with those shots that have FDA approval.
Respectfully,
You could alternately write the same invoking the WHO as your preference.
If the above is not the case, and that loophole in the policy is not accessible to you when your deadline comes, please do this:
The Technique: HONOR YOUR PRIVACY EXCELLENTLY & REGULARLY (the H.Y.P.E.R. Protocol)
The process I’m going to go through is how to comply with the policy, but not too obediently, so that you can 1.) never take the Covid shot, 2.) keep your job, 3.) keep your private info private, and 4.) lengthen this process for as long as it takes for someone with decision-making authority to come to their senses, lose interest, or determine you are not worth the trouble, while also not being worth firing.
This Process Isn’t Ideal. Ideal Is Frank Conversation.
It’s not ideal. The ideal is to say to your boss, “Cut the crap. I’m not taking this shot. Either make this stupidity go away or fire me, but quit wasting my time with this nonsense.” For those who don’t feel in a position to say that, this process exists to get you through this day and to help you build muscle to fight bigger battles. If you choose to use this process, please ween yourself from it soon and move toward frank conversations with everyone in your life.
A Note On Job Performance
This will work much better if you are a valuable member of the team with good reviews, and it will be another strike against you if they were looking for reasons already to fire you.
A Note On Privacy
While I realize that you did not mention a particular concern for privacy in your letter, I’d like you to embrace privacy as much as possible in this process. If you cannot, your lack of boundaries on important issues of personal health and belief will be used as a method by which to whittle away at your resolve and to back you into a corner in which someone with authority is eventually saying to you “Is it really worth all this trouble to you not to take the vaccine?”
An Email For Vaguely Invoking An Exemption
This is approximately how your first email should look.
Dear Dopey Dave in Operations,
Thank you for sending me the policy.
In accordance with that policy, I will be invoking an exemption.
Please confirm receipt of this.
Respectfully,
Allan Stevo
1.) This should ideally be sent the day before it is due, no sooner.
2.) Call them by their first name, ask that you be addressed by your last name, not necessarily by saying that outright (which might be considered hostile), but sign everything first and last name, no matter how many times they call you by your first name or even by a diminutive of your first name. These are ways our guard can be cajoled into being let down. Stay on guard. Don’t get comfy. The person calling you “Jimmy” by email, the same way your mom did, wants to give you a vaccine that will have medical consequences for you. They have no business calling you what your mom calls you.
3.) The goal of this email is to provide as little information to them as possible while complying with the policy.
An Email For Keeping Private Details Private
They may ask whether it is a medical or a religious exemption. Don’t answer. None of their business. The following email is useful for that.
Dear Dopey Dave the poor excuse for a liberty loving COO,
Thank you so much for your note.
As far as I can tell, my note fulfills the criteria listed in the policy. If it doesn’t, just show me what I’m overlooking.
Respectfully,
An Email For Not Filling Out The Form
They may not like your email. They will ask for you to fill out the form.
Dear Dopiest Dave,
Thank you for your note.
As far as I can tell, I have already invoked an exemption. Any form that would exist fundamentally seeks to identify who is invoking an exemption.
The form you have sent me is rather intrusive, and I’m surprised to be receiving this requirement from you that I fill it out. It is certainly a break with prior company policy and industry policy to ask for such personal information.
Pushing this issue and trying to get this personal information from me feels somewhat adversarial. Our company is notably not adversarial in the way we interact with each other. In the spirit of every accommodation, I’d like you to not have a bias for or against accommodating the request and to honor the exemption I have invoked with the information I have provided.
I’d like to figure out how to invoke a legitimate exemption under this policy without providing this personal information about myself or any further personal information.
The information I’m being asked for is sensitive, and it is important to me that it be kept private.
Respectfully,
An Email About Government Policy
After that, you can go with this one.
Dear Dave the Dastardly Dope,
Thank you for your note. I have a few other questions about the policy.
Is this new policy based in a governmental requirement?
If so, would you please send that written governmental order to me?
Respectfully,
Each of these emails can be turned into numerous back and forth emails clarifying your request.
An Email Respecting Internal Protocols
Then this one:
Dear Dopey Dave,
Thank you for your note.
The information being requested is quite sensitive to me, information I consider private.
Can you show me some kind of guidance from legal that it is appropriate to demand this information from me?
It seems inconsistent with my experience at our company, to request information like this, and I want to make sure all internal protocols are being followed.
Respectfully,
An Email Vaguely Invoking California & EU Privacy Policies
Then this one:
Dear Dave, Chief Among Dopes,
Thank you for your note.
As you and I both know, our company has had considerable challenge from hackers accessing internal databases — both through our own IT properties and our third party vendors.
The information being requested is quite sensitive to me, information I consider private.
Could you please share with me information on how this data is going to be used and who it is shared with?
Also, how will it be stored?
Respectfully,
Sometimes Respond Quickly, But Don’t Always Respond Too Quickly
I would continue to draw out this process, responding no more quickly than every 12 hours, and continuing to ask questions. Don’t respond on weekends, during travel, or days off. Sometimes take 2-3 days to respond in order to break the rhythm of daily back and forth.
After you’ve drawn out this process as long as you can, see what policy exemptions continue to exist. I recommend a religious exemption over a medical exemption if all else is equal. Almost no medical exemption will be approved and someone will eventually go after your doctor with intimidation. A religious exemption requires nothing but an attestation from you. Do not give any written or spoken information about any of your religious reasons for invoking a religious exemption. It is no one’s business.
An Email Invoking A Religious Exemption
After dragging out the process, if they still want to know if you have a medical or religious exemption, go back to the first note, adding only that one additional detail and make them struggle with you for that information.
Dear Dopey Dave in Operations,
Thank you for sending me the policy.
In accordance with that policy, I will be invoking a religious exemption.
Please confirm receipt of this.
Respectfully,
Say no to all testing. Say no to all masking.
Negotiate Tougher By Refocusing The Conversation
Every time a study comes out, mentioning spike proteins, I recommend you take that as an opportunity to negotiate tougher.
Dear Dopey Dave,
A recent study, attached here, shows that those who have taken the shot may be shedding Covid spike proteins in their daily life in numbers many times higher than those who have not taken the shot.
Would you please provide me with a list of all vaccinated individuals at my work space?
Also, would you provide me with a written policy of how the company is keeping the office space safe from the shedding among vaccinated individuals.
After the amount of effort the company has taken to vaccinate the staff, this is a very troubling realization that the vaccinated pose a considerable risk to others.
Please give this matter your highest level of attention. It is my desire to see us have a safe workplace for all employees.
Respectfully,
After that, they may be happy to leave you alone. Keep pushing the issue any time they bother you about your own vaccination status.
If they finally say to you “Get the shot or sign this letter of recommendation,” you can go this route, which I can’t imagine myself ever doing, because I find it cowardly.
A Move I Don’t Recommend, But Which Will Work For Some — Disingenuously Agreeing To Get The Shot
You can agree to get a shot and then not get it by answering along these lines every time that Dopey Dave checks in with you. Each instance should buy you at least two weeks.
1.) My doctors says I need to be tested because I have some childhood allergies that may cause a problem for me to take the vaccine.
2.) The lab is backed up due to Covid.
3.) The lab is still backed up.
4.) My doctor has been hard to get in to see because of Covid. Not sure about results.
5.) My doctor says I need more tests. He thinks there could be an allergy. He will not write me an exemption because he says he has written his maximum amount of allowed exemptions for the year already, so he wants to be really careful.
6.) The doctor’s lab is backed up again.
7.) Still haven’t gotten results from the doctor.
8.) The lab botched the test. I need to go back to the lab next week. What a drama.
9.) I’m thinking of getting a new doctor.
10.) Still looking for another doctor.
11.) Finally found a doctor. I was able to get a new patient appointment with him six weeks from now.
12.) See #1 and go back through the list.
Find Friends
You need to find people to collaborate with. Now is no time to be alone. There is at least one person who agrees with you at work. Find that person. Do that and you double your numbers. No matter how much it may be your tendency to be a loner, do not be a loner right now. I have heard so many stories of three employees, five employees, or ten employees shifting policy and not having to worry about any of the nonsense above. The maskholes don’t want to lose their valued people.
Start Job Hunting
Be ready for them to fire you. Have a backup in place. Be very clear with your backup job that you will not be taking the vaccine under any conditions.
Just Tell Creeps Like This To Get Lost
You might like many parts of your job, while a few vaxholes are making it miserable for everyone. If that is the case, it might make sense to take this approach. If that is not the case, and you are surrounded by a company of 40,000 vaxholes, I think that “future you” will thank “present you” for getting fired and starting a new life surrounded by good people and entirely devoid of creeps, because you demand no lower of a standard than an entirely creep-free and dope-free life.
Dear Dopey Dave,
Your very long comment was very funny. There’s nothing more therapeutic than a good belly laugh. It has a way of putting the insanity back into perspective.
Thank you for playing!
Chip
Thanks for sharing your story. We are with you. We pray other forms of healthcare will come into existence, where frankenshots are not required for staff or patients.
