Msg ID: 2703083 Mandated Covid-19 vaccines for HEMS  +3/-2

According to AMC Management, AMC receives payment from Federal funds - Medicare and Medicaid - therefore vaccines are required for all employees at AMC without any opportunity to opt-out for tests instead of the vaccine. Not sure when the mandate will go into effect but seems inevitable. What percentage will quit or be fired for failing to vaccinate?

I would tell them I am vaccinated. If they ask me for my vaccination record, I will tell them that if they want me to comply with Hippa, they will have to also. I will not agree to showing them any of my medical records except my flight physical.

The vaccine lot numbers are tracked and verified through the states and can't be "faked". I'm worried I'll be forced to vaccinate or be fired. A lawyer told me I can't get unemployment benefits if fired because I failed to comply with company requirements. He also pointed out that other HEMS companies have the same requirements so I'm basically screwed.

Hippa. They cannot force you to release any medical records. That will be a huge sticking point for the mandate. Hippa will have to be repealed to force a vaccination mandate. Now of course they can fire you, but it would not be for proper cause, and you have an actionable tort.

For the last time....  IT IS NOT a violation to ask or require proof of vaccination -"If an employer asks an employee to provide proof that they have been vaccinated, that is not a HIPAA violation, and employees may decide whether to provide that information to their employer."

You are not REQUIRED to provide that information but the emplyer is also not REQUIRED to keep you employed.

Vaccine mandates will result in massive layoffs throughout the country resulting in lower capability to capture revenue flights. Keep in mind, weekly testing is an option. If layoffs, walkouts occur, police, EMS, hospitals, schools, etc. will have fewer workers to support what is already a worker shortage problem. How does editing a workforce improve an already reduced workforce. At some point, pragmatism should...should prevail.

if layoffs do occur, expect them to be short lived. Parents, patients, communities should wake up eventually and services return.

Although...if this is a distraction from other incompetent strategies of the admin, then who knows. But, in the end, getting rid of people when shortages are already here makes no sense.

Why's nobody talking about the studies that have been done on your natural antibodies, if you've already had Covid? Just Google natural covid antibodies vs vaccine, you will see tons of studies showing your natural immunity is better than the vaccine. From the NIH,CDC,Israel and the huge Cleveland Clinic study of 52,000 employees. Of the roughly 1200 that had Covid, but did not get the vaccine... and recovered, not one of those patients was readmitted with Covid a second time. But well over 300, that had been vaccinated were readmitted with Covid at a later date, all with varying degrees of severity. So, a curious question is all the blood clots, swelling hearts and patients that died due to complications from the vaccine, if they already had Covid and were pressured into getting the vaccine... when their natural immunity was good post Covid, do we say, "I guess they just died and took one for the team?" I'm not antivax or hardcore pro Covid vax, what I would like to see is an honest discussion. If we're trying to mandate vaccine passports and other mandates, how about an honest look at post Covid natural antibody paperwork as well?

wrong.  People have had COVID twice, with no vaccine involved.  Be really careful with your homework, and more so with what you print.

Not getting vaccinated does nothing but screw up our medical system with many severely ill patients.  The country is bankrupt in more ways than one, why add this COVID mess to it?

BTW there's no such thing as immunity to COVID, the flu, the common cold or malaria and so on.  When disease gets eradicated the pathogen winds up not in circulation, which is the goal of vaccine programs, not the development of immunity.  Subtle stuff, and real.

Get vaccinated, wear a mask when appropriate, practice safe behavior and help take COVID (the super cold) out of circulation.

I see the media constantly reporting, "this is a surge of the unvaccinated!!" I say, "perhaps it is."

Or is it both, a surge of first time Covid patients without developed antibodies?

your window of flying will become smaller and smaller to find work if you don't.  Most EMS companies are already asking that on interviews that have Hospital based customers (METRO), and if you don't have it, the interview stops...they tell you upfront that you are no good to them at a hospital base program that requires it...unless you fly News contracts or Utility, but compared to EMS the pay is a joke...

if you have been in the military you are used to this tyoe of Demand.  Remember the Anthrax military shot mandate?  stand over here if you want it....stand over there if you don't and the JAG officer will be by to read you your rights...try deploying overseas sometime either military or civilain contractor and see the kind of shots YOU have to get....

and out court costs...most companies are a "at will state" so good luck with that...they have the right to fire you  for any reason they deem fit....when it comes between the company and money from a contract they will pick the Customer EVERYTIME.....At Will State.....remember that phrase...

most hospitals aren't necessarily firing doctors or nurses...they are taking them off the sched. hence a self termination....your base will do the same thing is take you off the sched. and have pool pilots or Workover Pilots fill in....and offer those OT pilots a HUGE incentive to fill in....i know some bases when in need were offering your OT rate plus a extra $500-$1000 a day to fill in....do the math.....

Unilaterally allows illegal aliens from all around the Western Hemisphere to invade the country with the covid infected, and unvaccinated? You guys have fear and loathing for American citizens who are unvaccinated, but you don't care if they flood across the border. How about a guy who throws 13 servicemen to their death by homicide bomber? How about the guy who droned a van full of innocent kids to death? How about the guy who applauds the fascist tactics of antifa and BLM? Do you mean that kind of fascist? If you approve of that kind of fascist, you are the fascist, and we have nothing to talk about.
