Our state government is now making it law that all healthcare workers must be vaccinated.
The issue is not that providers are spreading the virus, but that we are who they can force by law to “control” us. They can revoke our licenses.
This ruling removes any personal right to choose that I own, against my own health management reasons, and sets bad precedence,
This allows governance to begin forcing other laws onto workers in order to keep jobs, and makes my body their property instead of private domain.
Where does it stop, then? Does the government choose my birth control method, when and if I have children, what foods I eat, supplements I can and cannot take?
In order to work, do I conscript all rights of my individuality to become absorbed into a mindless mechanism squeezing my essence for its profit – am I just a unit, a throw away widget for the state’s dictates?
Because this strips me of my rights to govern over my own body, I feel the need to abdicate my position and not participate as a contributor to society – at least, no longer directly.
I have been delayed in getting my vaccination due to illness from which I’m still recovering. I have been waiting until my body is strong again, to help counter valid concerns of side effects from the vaccinations.
I have been advised by other health professionals to wait until I know my body can better handle this. I have been struggling, already, to figure out how to return to the profession and be there consistently for clients.
This state’s forcing compliance puts it to me strait: get vaccinated, or lose your license.
Ok. Thank you for making the choice clear to me.
I now realize I must seek another profession, at least temporarily. Forget making good money while helping people. Forget trying to get out of debt. Forget generating taxes for my state. Forget lending my helping hands to others.
I will do what you want me to do. I will abdicate my power to “authority.”
Here you go. Take It All. I will no longer participate. See you on the back end, after I am healthy enough to handle the vaccine. IF I choose it for myself – It will be MY choice to get it!
Because I AM NOT THE PROBLEM. It’s all those uneducated people refusing to follow PRP consistently who are crowding into other people’s spaces, going into public when they are sick and coughing, and not taking it seriously when they know they’ve been exposed to COVID.
I know, firsthand – for I live in such a community. You see the instant difference in more mature society if you travel North or South to better education. Yet, these people are not held accountable for their own in-public flaunting of belligerent noncompliance.
I have already proven myself. I’ve already made the supreme sacrifice as a health care provider when my ex-boss allowed someone into the office who had just recovered from COVID, but whose family members were still in quarantine.
I was not allowed the option to say, “Hey, I can’t work on this person because he smells sick.” I knew I would lose my job because my boss believed COVID to be a hoax and a way for government to interfere with how he ran his business.
So, the client was in my small, sealed room for 45 minutes, and I could tell his body was still fighting off something. The longer the massage went on, the more I became aware I was put in a precarious position. But, I couldn’t bring it up with my boss. It had been his authoritative decision.
I began getting sick the next week, and knew it wasn’t a normal cold – that is was heavier. I was due to work on a pregnant woman supposed to deliver her baby the next week. I said to my boss by text, “Hey, do you think I should take a couple days off to get tested and make sure I’m negative? He went off on me and fired me. For asking and advocating.
Then, he lied about firing me and got my unemployment benefits suspended. He told unemployment I voluntarily quit so he would not have to pay the benefits. I stand before you an excellent healthcare provider who went above and beyond my call of service, sacrificing my livelihood to preserve life – against the tide of willful ignorance.
Look at the damage one man with power over me was able to inflict. What do I have to show for this? No income, for sure – I lost work I’d finally gained of $4,000/month after years of poverty, and then I lost the meager $150/week of unemployment benefts. I have no trust in the system, now. I do not believe I can rely on employment.
I gave my all to the healthcare system and ensured clients were protected by my own strict adherence to PRP.. I was there for people when others walked away during the pandemic, and I stepped back when I felt I couldn’t guarantee their safety.
I am NOT the threat. I am NOT the reason COVID keeps spreading.
And I won’t be threatened – insult to injury. I will not be forced to abdicate my rights to choose how I’ll manage the health of my body because other people are destroying The Law of Our Commons.
