Dr. Chris Beyrer, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health said, “If you are not going to be vaccinated and you’re going to be caring for the frail, the elderly, you should get out of health care.”
As the remaining vaccine mandates for medical workers get to set be implemented this week in 25 mostly conservative states, it is once again becoming clear how widespread the use of religious exemptions is in the U.S. as a workaround to complying with such requirements.
Gianforte said he would be “defending Montanans against discrimination based on their vaccination status.” Dr. Randy Tobler, the CEO of Scotland County Hospital in Missouri said, “We’re not going to have a Spanish inquisition with Torquemada deciding if your religious exemption is granted or not by the Grand Inquisitor.”
“For people that want to judge what we’re doing in rural America, I’d love them to come and walk in our shoes for a little while, just come and sit in the desk and try to staff the place,” Tobler said.
