(LIST) 1,685 health care workers jobless after refusing vaccine mandates — and that’s just a small sampling

Vaccine mandates are adding to health care worker shortages around the country, possibly exacerbating both health care issues for Americans as well as the nation’s employment problems.

Although hospital systems report the vast majority of their employees are choosing ‘forced vaccination’ when faced with losing their jobs, experts say the current labor shortage in health care is significant enough that the thousands who are quitting or being fired are expected to have a worrisome impact.

The following are summarized stats from just a small sampling of the country’s hospital and health care systems in a few states, as compiled by Becker’s Hospital Review. Among the 20 companies listed, approximately 1,685 firings or resignations due to vaccine mandates are reported so far.
