I am asking for support to stop the mandate of the COVID vaccine. Our hospitals are already brittle, all employees are strained and tired, but we continue to show up and care for the sick. By the time the date arrives for us to show proof of vaccination or be terminated, there will be a mass exodus leaving a sink hole of need that will not be able to be filled quick enough so that our hospitalized patients or those seeking medical care do not die. 

This could very well be you or your loved one that shows up to the hospital needing timely life saving care with no one to carry out those Dr.'s orders OR be met with a nurse that has an overwhelming amount of patients to tend to that the timely care you need will not be met and grave consequences will ensue.

We have been called "Heroes" for the last almost two years. We have been in the trenches together while the world watched and is now judging us for having an opinion or choice. This is a battle that we do not want, you are forcing us to choose between saving lives and standing up for ourselves. 

We are advocates for our patients, we teach, we educate, and we stand behind their free choice for their treatment. Will you not stand with us and be our advocates now?
