Democrats are furious that so many Americans have resisted their pleas to receive Covid-19 vaccinations. The psuedo-intellectuals currently in charge can't understand why millions of people don't accept that Democrats know best and just do as they are told.

They have given up trying to convice or "educate" you. In their minds, you are too stupid to do the right thing so they will force you to do what they want. Or you'll lose your job and/or your life.

President Joe Biden has required all federal employees and most contractors to get vaccinated or get lost. Lost, as in "you're fired." He has directed OSHA to force employers with at least 100 workers to require vaccinations or weekly testing. Counties around the country, like Los Angeles, are requiring businesses to reject unvaccinated customers.

New York State required all health care workers to be vaccinated against Covid by September 27, with no religous exemptions allowed. A court injunction has allowed many unvaccinated workers to keep working while the case is decided in court.

Our newly minted governor, Kathy Hochul, won't disclose how many health care workers in New York will lose their jobs if the court's injunction is removed. Kind of reminds you of our former governor working hard to hide the number of deaths caused by his stupid policy of forcing nursing homes to accept covid-positive patients, doesn't it?

Schenectady TV station WRGB called area hospitals and in just the Capital District, there are almost 1,000 health care workers who would be fired now if not for the court injuction. St. Peter's Hospital group reports almost 500 of their health care workers are working because of the injunction.

Maybe Governor Hochul hasn't heard their is a national shortage of health care workers. So, why is she blindly following Cuomo's lead? Surely, she knows by now how flawed his decisions were? Allow religous exemptions for vaccinations and move on.

But, the pandemic has unleashed the crazy in medicine. Have you heard about Rochester General Hospital refusing to administer Ivermectin? A 75-year old Vietnam-era Navy veteran contracted Covid-19 even though he was vaccinated. He was admitted to the hospital and they tried their normal protocol but nothing worked. His condition worsened and he was moved to the ICU and placed on a ventilator.

A relative researched alternative treatments and found anecdotal evidence and limited studies indicating Ivermectin might help their dying relative. They got their family doctor to prescribe the antiviral drug but the hospital refused to do it, saying the FDA-approved drug was not authorized for treatment of Covid.

The family offered to sign liability waivers to protect the hospital but Rochester General still refused. So, the family hired a lawyer who has helped other families with similar issues to take the hospital to court. A Monroe County judge ordered the hospital to administer the drug, Friday.

Again, Rochester General Hospital refused to give Mr. Carter Ivermectin. Saturday, they filed an appeal and a hearing was set for Monday. Unfortunately, the patient died Sunday.

I guess Rochester General was so dead set on not aministering Ivermectin they ended up with a dead patient. They should hope I don't get picked for jury duty in that trial because I would punish their arrogance with a Billion dollar settlement.

If the hospital tried everything they could and the man was still dying, why not allow the family to try experimental treatments? Especially after their family doctor and a county court weighed in on their side?

Then, there's the Colorado woman dying of renal failure who found a kidney donor and scheduled a transplant operation. The hospital, University of Colorado Health, found out that neither she nor the donor (whom she met in Bible study) were vaccinated. The hospital told them to get vaccinated or get lost. Lost, as in die.

Leilan Lutali told USA Today, it seems like her hospital was so insistent on saving her from COVID-19 that is is willing to let her possibly die by blocking her transplant surgery.

Is their a more egregious abuse of power than the heavy handed message that we'll either bow down and do as Democrats order, or we die? Good job, Democrats. Way to win minds and hearts.
