New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently canceled elective surgeries in many New York hospitals citing COVID concerns and the new Omicron variant. At the time of her announced cancellation, Omicron had not even reached The United States, and to date, there is still not one death in America from the variant. According to nurses familiar with the New York hospital systems, this is all a big lie and is due to personnel shortages caused by vaccine mandates.
We’ve seen vaccine mandates in New York cause people to rally, protest, sue, and ultimately leave their jobs in hospitals when they are forced to get the jabs. This causes personnel shortages that cannot easily or quickly be rectified.
Without nurses, hospitals can’t properly run. Their solution is to cancel elective procedures and move those nurses to other divisions of the hospital to compensate for the shortages. This has nothing to do with COVID. It has everything to do with mandates.
So far, very few news outlets are reporting that this is going on. They blindly seem to accept COVID as a valid excuse.
There’s no excuse for NY to take medical freedom away from patients or health care workers. Some elective procedures can be diagnostic and, therefore, life-saving. The governor says she wants to save lives by forcing vaccines, but this might have the exact opposite impact.
