Well maybe because they have already been exposed far more than any non medical people to this virus for 2 years with no issues.


As they say....."the heroes have become zeros".

Kudos to Mayo Clinic for doing the right thing. Proof of having had numerous FDA approved vaccinations have always been a condition of employment there. You don't like the rules at your job? Find the nearest door with an EXIT sign over it.

Aren't these the same folks being hailed as Hero's and savior's of the country last year?

If they are smart then they will just up and move to a state that will hire them "as is".

You can try to change the definition of a vaccine all you want by calling it a therapeutic, but you're simply wrong.

Let me help you.

"Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases."

Then we could ask them if masks aren't efficient, how about a more healthy lifestyle, taking more vitamins and all? I don't know why but it reminds me of this meme. https://imgur.com/Lab8suR

Exactly it is the "latest". Every other vaccine that they require has been around for at least a decade. Until the definition of a vaccine was changed last year, it wouldn't have even qualified as a vaccine.

It has been proven to not stop someone from getting COVID. It has been proven to not stop someone from spreading COVID. It doesn't keep someone from possibly ending up in the Hosptial due to COVID. It does not keep someone from possibly dying from COVID. The only thing that it has shown is that at best it may provide some reduction in symptoms for some people. What is still unknown is what are the longer-term effects.

But keep up the mantra that the Mayo Clinic and the people that are being treated there are so much safer now that those "dirty" unvaccinated employees have been fired..

Your guys changed it. I was happy with the definition it held 5 months ago back to the beginning of it's first development.
