No one expects common sense from the USA.
So the institution you are relying on to get you better or at least not make you worse is playing Russian roulette with your health? I can see the lawyers rubbing their hands in glee.

But that is happening cause they have fired all the nurses that refused to get vaccinated. But since being vaccinated doesn't mean you won't get it.

My Goodness...US...what are you doing?

Exactly.
And there reason these nurses are refusing to get the vaccines: they can see the harm the jabs are doing to patients who come in to hospitals with COVID vaccine-related injuries. Why else would they refuse?

This is sensible. The gear they wear is designed to protect them from infected patients. It doesn't just work one way.

Some of them do get it. But the vaxx keeps it from getting worse or becoming fatal in most cases. Still, they're at risk nonetheless because they have to tend to the sick in the hospitals.
The best thing for the rest of us is, get the vaxx and stay home unless it's absolutely necessary. Don't get yourself or someone around you infected. Don't get sick and die in a hospital like my uncle during Christmas Week 2020. Make it easier on the health care workers. It's tough enough for them as it is right now.

The amount of different rules for different people is staggering.
We have healthy people in quarantine and infected people at work.
There really is no order

Mostly by being mistaken and not having the necessary professional preparation to recognize it, the same as the numerous doctors that prescribe antibiotics for common colds or botch routine surgeries. The percentage of those is quite higher even from what you can see from those that refuse vaccines.
Can those nurses provide data to defend their position? if not that mean they are wrong.

Same for the ones unvaccinated with no symptoms. Omicron does not discriminate.
