After Doctors Were Fired Over Vaccine Mandates, Biden Tries to Save Face

For months Biden has called for Americans who do not want to take the vaccine, including doctors and nurses in medical facilities across the country, to be fired.

The emergency department at a Nassau County hospital has temporarily closed due to nursing staff shortages as a result of New York's vaccine mandate.

Officials at Mount Sinai South Nassau said Monday that all other options were exhausted before the decision was made to close the ER, starting at 3 p.m. Instead, patients in need of emergency care will be directed to the hospital's main campus in Oceanside.

Hospital officials say it's a result of compliance with state mandate that requires the suspension of all staff working under temporary religious exemptions who have not shown proof of at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or a valid medical exemption.

Biden is grasping at ways to get ahead if hospitals see an increase in patients by sending military doctors and nurses to fill the gap.

Mobilizing an Additional 1,000 Troops to Deploy to COVID-Burdened Hospitals: The President is directing Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to ready an additional 1,000 service members-military doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other medical personnel-to deploy to hospitals during January and February, as needed.

Deploying Federal Medical Personnel Available to States Immediately: The President is announcing that six emergency response teams-with more than 100 clinical personnel and paramedics-are deploying to six states now: Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Arizona, New Hampshire and Vermont.
