(There were many battles to which I could have referred for a famous last stand. I chose Waterloo because of the Left’s particular Napoleon complex.)
As the lies have piled up over the last 12 months, it has become clear that the Left has rushed to use the COVID-19 pandemic to do what they could not accomplish at the ballot box. It’s also clear that an ever-greater number of Americans are coming to question the COVID narrative of, “Everybody is dying… except anybody you know about. Don’t ask questions.”
The Left appears to be entering a panic as the nation awakens to The Great Lie. Its traditional strategy of promoting fear and mocking dissenters is no longer working because frankly, Americans got bored of it. So the Left transitioned to offering donuts. When tasty treats didn’t work, they tried lotteries and scholarships.
None of that, of course, is working. Turns out it takes more than snacks and money to get rational people to stick themselves with an experimental vaccine for a virus that’s not actually hospitalizing anybody. The Cause isn’t helped, either, when the CDC’s COVID guidance more resembles a game of Twister than the words of intelligent professionals.
In the face of repeated failures, the Left has taken off its mask to reveal its totalitarian heritage. It now directly threatens what it hates the most: our God-given rights to life, liberty, and property. For example:
Life: The same Left that has screamed for a decade that health care is a right… is now publishing schadenfreude-laden articles about how it is justified to refuse medical care to unvaxxed people with life-threatening conditions. Murder has never been a big concern for the Party of Tolerance.
Liberty: The Left is now in favor of vaccine passports and refusing entry to businesses for unvaxxed people. Show us your papers, please!
Property: The Left now wants everyone refusing the vax to be fired. Especially the health care workers.
And why is the Left slamming its Iron Curtain on the heads of the health workers?
Because it’s really bad for the COVID narrative if the frontline health workers are more scared of the vaccine than either COVID or their own financial security.
But like many, many other things the Left has envisioned, its showdown with health workers is not going the way it planned. Instead of bending to the Left’s will, health workers have called its bluff. They’re quitting.
You see, health workers know something a lot of people don’t: there has been a massive health worker shortage for a few decades now. It’s been left unaddressed because shortages allow the health providers (the supplier) to largely set it own prices to the patients (the demand). Lower the supply, and prices go up. Obamacare didn’t bother to touch the health worker shortage, of course, but I bet the Left now wishes it had.
When these health workers quit, it’s not a matter of pulling trained workers in from the unemployment line. It’s a matter of hospitals begging nurses and doctors and technicians to work for them.
If you listen only to the media, just a handful of health workers are resigning, quitting, or being fired. But if you put the pieces together, a bigger picture emerges.
Why would Mississippi suddenly need 1,450 more health workers when the delta variant isn’t filling up their hospitals? Because 1,000 beds in that state are now unstaffed. Banner Health in Arizona has over 1,000 vacanies for registered nurses alone. Samaritan Health in New York is raising its minimum wage to retain workers because open positions have increased 50% since December. Same in Philadelphia. Johns Hopkins is also raising their minimum wage to retain staff, and this is despite the State of Maryland reducing its bed counts.
In fact, one of the reasons bed counts are being reduced around the country may be because far more health workers are quitting than is being reported. There’s nobody left to staff the beds.
The health workers know they have the upper hand. Either the Left gives in and leaves vaccination as a personal choice – as it should be – or hospital systems start to close facilities in order to consolidate the staff that they do have.
What makes this whole situation even more surreal is the vaccines are still under an EUA. They have not been approved. The Left is literally forcing an experimental medical treatment on unwilling participants who are not at-risk. And the health workers will have none of this.
And besides, if masks work “better than a vaccine,” as CDC Director Robert Redfield said to Congress a year ago… then why can’t these patients and health workers just wear masks if they choose to remain unvaccinated? When did the masks stop working?
Of course, none of this makes sense because COVID isn’t about a virus. It’s about the Left taking the power it couldn’t win in the elections.
