Hospitals are COVID hypocrites
Joanne Kombert, a Hartford Healthcare nurse, injects a patient with COVID-19 vaccine.
It has taken over 606,000 dead Americans, 8,279 dead state residents, and the passage of almost eight months since the release in the U.S. of the first COVID vaccines, to convince Connecticut’s hospitals that it might be a good idea to require their own workers get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Anthony J. Dennis
Connecticut’s hospitals have known since the beginning of this pandemic a year and a half ago that the world would eventually invent a vaccine and that they would thus inevitably face the issue of whether to require their own employees to get the shot. Would someone please ask our hospital leaders why they did not draft and institute such an employee requirement to protect patients’ lives long ago?
