Loading ...Quebec Drops COVID Vaccine Mandate for Existing Health-Care Workers
In a press conference in Quebec City on Nov. 3, Health Minister Christian Dubé said the suspension of unvaccinated workers as of Nov. 15 will have a “devastating effect” on the province’s health system. He said the province will face service reductions or reorganizations if the government proceeds with its planned deadline for mandatory vaccination.
“To deprive ourselves of 8,000 people [in health staff ranks] will have devastating consequences for our network,” Dubé said.
Instead of the original plan, vaccination will no longer be mandatory for current employees, he said, but they have to be tested for COVID-19 at least three times a week. As for new hires, they will be required to be vaccinated.”
SOMETHING IS FISHY WITH THIS MATH
Dubé says 97 percent of health-care workers are vaccinated against COVID-19, but there are still about 14,000 who have not received a single dose,
SO 14,000 IS 3% OF HCWs ?
So there are Half a Million HCWs in Quebec ?
Just did a search there are 8.6 million people in Quebec
approx 1.6 million re under 20 and another 2.0 million are over 65
that leaves 5 million …so 10% are healthcare workers ?
And laying off 14,000 out of 500,000 would collapse the system ?
