Summary

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to emergency room nurse and congressional candidate Kevin Surdi about how New York’s vaccine mandate for health care workers has been a disaster for staffing and nurse burnout. This week the vaccine mandate for health care workers in NY took effect. Instead of making hospitals safer it appears to be making things much worse. Hospitals that already had a nursing shortage are now losing thousands of other doctors and nurses despite having antibodies from getting COVID-19 previously. He tells heartbreaking stories of pregnant nurses who were forced to quit and why Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to replace fired workers with the National Guard will only increase medical staffing shortages systemwide. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
