It appears the feds are requiring all Medicare and Medicaid providers to have their staffs fully vaccinated. That would be a pretty strong incentive for the hospitals and clinics to require vaccination - especially if they have known this was coming down the pike prior to the great dictator's announcement.

"Who pressured these medical centers into doing this? The pressure is coming from somewhere, and it has to be significant pressure. I can’t imagine any medical center terminating 350 difficult-to-impossible to replace employees without very real pressure and without first seeking legal advice."

The AMA is the organization pressuring the hospitals. I read this several days ago, but I can't think of where I read it.

From Dennnger today, at https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?singlepost=3705489 :

"You won't be able to see or read /NAD if you're not signed on, effective some time this coming week."

This, after Twatter suspended him for a week, for writing "Get nuked, *******." to the ChiComs, about their threats vs. Taiwan.
