The CEO of a hospital in Texas is cautioning that his facility is facing possible closure following President Biden's announcement last week that healthcare workers will be required to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
If the mandate takes effect, the Brownfield Regional Medical Center will likely lose 20-25% of its staff, CEO Jerry Jasper says. Without those employees, the hospital will likely shut down.
The Biden administration has ordered that healthcare workers who staff hospitals and facilities that receive either Medicaid or Medicare funds must receive the vaccine or lose federal funding.

Totally predictable and totally needless.
There just isn’t any compelling science which indicates that young healthy people should be vaccinated and a significant portion of healthcare workers are in the young/healthy cohort. The vaccines don’t even stop transmission.
Finally, since it’s known that naturally acquired immunity is actually stronger than artificial immunity, a better course would be to simply allow infected workers to self quarantine and then come back and they would be effectively vaccinated. Better than vaccinated, actually.
Follow the science.
