10 thoughts on “125 employees no longer with IU Health after refusing COVID-19 vaccine

    1. Yeah, I’d want to be admitted to the hospital and then have an unvaccinated health care worker take care of me…note the sarcasm!

    1. I readily admit I’m not a fan of Indiana healthcare in general. I’m sorry but IU Health is an embarrassment as the states largest healthcare organization. The most descriptive tag line would be “average quality of care, poorly delivered, and at the highest prices.
      However in this case they got it right, and like Indiana University they should be proud of their leadership position with mandatory vaccination.

  1. My guess is this number is very similar to how many people routinely get let go for other various reasons across their massive workforce. Remember, not all employees in hospitals are doctors and nurses. Lots of receptionists, janitorial staff, food service, security etc etc etc. Nothing to see here.

  2. As a physician actively dealing with this pandemic, I applaud IU’s action. They gave ample time for their employees to become vaccinated or obtain a medical or religious exemption. These workers chose their path. In my professional and personal opinion, anyone who is unwilling to be vaccinated during a global pandemic is not qualified to be a health care worker.

  3. Covid-19 is a viral infection and a immune system disease. With the vaccine a person can still get infected, shed the virus but have no symptoms. Therefore, a vaccine does not stop the spread. 70% of people who become infected never develop symptoms because they have a strong working immune system that fight off the virus and develop long-lasting immunity. Vitamin D, Zinc, and Ivermectin are completely safe and Vitamin D is known to be the most effective treatment for acute disease there is.
    Hospitals, airlines and other major corporations do not examine each and every employee to determine personal medical issues that the vaccine could dangerously cause. What the news has suppressed, are the number of deaths and harmful outcomes caused by the vaccine as well as questions of accuracy and truth from the CDC, NIH, and Fauci himself. Millions of people are not anti-vax, but to terminate employees based on an assumption this vaccine is the broad-brush answer to this pandemic is complete ignorance. To demand any injection is an assumption it is a cure-all for every human on this planet, it is not. I also choose my own path and know what works for my own personal health and safety. However, this idea is too logical and incites the very people who have demanded control by using the fear of CV-19 to make us robots. “If you don’t obey, we push you away” is the new motto.
    Dr. Paul: With due respect, your statement is highly disappointing. If you and the government are so concerned about the health of the population, would you terminate your employees who stand outside the hospital campus smoking a cancer stick? Shouldn’t cigarettes be banned…after all second-hand smoke is just as dangerous; even outdoors. Also, I wonder if you had the time to notice the box of blue masks you likely provide your staff and patients. Have you noticed they are “made in China”?
