In light of the CMS decision to mandate vaccines for healthcare workers, I reflected pretty heavily on that decision. And I realized that we, as healthcare workers, set ourselves up for this and didn’t even realize it. Back in 2012, many of the hospitals here in the Kansas City metro decided to make influenza vaccination required each winter for their staff. And ya know what? Most of us just willingly went along with it. What I realize now is that the hospital administration KNEW that, 9 years later, they could impose covid vaccine restrictions and mandates, and that a large percentage of their staff would willingly comply, because they willingly went along with the mandatory flu vaccine. However, those who chose not to flu vaccinate could get a religious exemption or medical exemption without issue, and they were not harassed and run through the grinder like they were with the covid vaccine.
