Wait until those who only had a one booster (and hence are no longer “fully vaccinated”) get fired next year.

It's not a real problem because of the millions of nurses nationwide you can count on one hand the number with natural immunity who can't stay on the job because they are unvaccinated.

Also, immunity is not binary. Healthcare professionals by definition work with the most vulnerable and should be getting all the immunity they can get. That's common sense, not peak idiocy.

I can count on two hands the number of nurses at my one hospital who were fired (or forced to resign, or whatever corporate language you’d like to put on it) last year because they refused to get vaccinated and had recently had COVID within the past few months.

And you'd need a crowd of hands to count those nurses who were not vaccinated and subsequently died from COVID not with COVID under the care of their former colleagues.

That scenario removed far more caregivers from production than your scenario, so what's your point?

In New York there’s more than 30000:

Yet supposedly in California there’s less than 5. I’m unconvinced.

If the point is to stop the spread of virus, it is. But if the point is to force everyone to get vaccinated (why?), it is not.

Which is why from medical and ethical standpoint the vaccine passports that are oh so popular never made any sense. Vaccinated people can and do spread it. Even among each other. So what is the point? For proper control the test passport would have been the clear solution.

But I take there are political opinions behind this...

The point is that vaccinated people have lower infection rates and if they do catch, they spread it less. That is the justification for having less restrictions on vaccinated people.

Still non-zero infection rates. Also it is clear that they have lead to increase spreading as people take less precautions and do more risky behaviour like drugs...

Non zero people die with seatbelts too.

Remember when we were told seatbelts would make people drive like lunatics so we shouldn't legally require them? (I do.)
