Forced to Quit

Well, I am a family physician employed by UC Health in Colorado. I have been with them for 15 years. Today they announced that the COVID vaccine will be mandatory by October 1, or face discipline, up to and including termination. Therefore, I will be quitting. I am not getting the vaccine. I will be frank with my patients and tell them why I can no longer take care of them. Our freedom to decide what can be put in our bodies has been taken away. The time to shrug is approaching.

    Good for you!! I am an Engineering manager for a medical device company and they are tossing it around. I already told them if they do that they can just go ahead and put my official 2 week notice in at the same time.

    I work in a large healthcare organization. I'm emptying my desk and cleaning up my work area tomorrow. For the same reason. My management is trying to find a way to let me stay while respecting my position and I'm very flattered about that, actually - because the top guy made the decision and they understand my explanation as to why I won't comply. They've watched me try to raise my son for many years now. I'm putting an end to the damage done to my family by pharma. They actually respect that... Ironically...Who does the top guy ask for when it comes to helping solve the biggest issues the past couple years? Me.

    I was really annoyed last week when my Endocrinologist, whose opinions I've had great respect for, told me I needed to get the vax. I told him I'd had the virus in January (for 6 days) and I've lost 30 pounds. He said no I'd lost 35 pounds and didn't recant his suggestion. His receptionist enlightened me on the value of the vax while shaking her head 'no' the entire time. I laughed and assured her I wouldn't be taking the vax. I resent someone assuming I'm too stupid to make my own decisions. I've had chickenpox, measles x 2 , mumps, whooping cough, and croup, and it took three tries for my smallpox vax to 'take'. I've had the flu 4 times but not for 38 years until I got Covid. I've had two pneumonia vaccine injections. That's enough for anyone.

    I just posted a new thread in regards to asking the question of where on earth can you escape this mandatory vax or the gov pushing them on you.

    I'm sorry to hear that you were put in this situation. I have to commend you for standing on you convictions. I hope this insanity doesn't continue much longer and that you ride the storm out with minimal discomfort.
