| 0:00.0 | During the COVID pandemic, or more specifically in the latter part of the pandemic, when |
| 0:17.1 | the federal government was rolling out these various vaccine mandates, well, a situation |
| 0:21.5 | arose, which by all accounts was ridiculous. |
| 0:24.4 | And the situation won something like this. |
| 0:26.1 | In the one hand, the country was sold the idea that we have to lock everything down |
| 0:29.9 | because our hospital system was understaffed and on the brink of collapse. |
| 0:33.9 | But on the other hand, the federal government rolled out these vaccine mandates to almost |
| 0:37.6 | all hospital workers, which had the effect of something like 10% of the staff being forced |

| 1:18.0 | currently in financial distress and in the brink of closing in the next few years. |
| 1:22.4 | Every reference, this represents about 30% of all rural hospitals nationwide. |
| 1:27.5 | And so, it was exactly this situation, which sparked a full length investigation, which |
| 1:32.2 | ultimately culminated in this film right here, Flatline, America's Hospital Crisis. |
