Boise Hospitals: Vaccination or Termination
So much for freedom to say no to the shot in Idaho. Thursday, the state's three largest healthcare providers decreed that all of their employees will be forced to take the Covid-19 vaccine as a condition of employment.
Saint Alphonsus, Saint Luke's, and Primary Health are all excellent medical facilities; on a personal note, I've been admitted to all three hospitals in the past year and received excellent care.
However, the issue of forced vaccinations is not about the hospitals; it's about the Idaho Legislature allowing this to happen. The legislature was still in session; we urged them to follow the example of other states and governors that passed laws protecting workers from being forced to take the shot as a condition of employment.
