Edit to add the email I got this week from Harborview/UW health services:
To Our Valued Patients:
At UW Medicine, your access to timely care is always our priority. While our teams are working diligently to meet your needs, we are currently experiencing very high demand for all services. As a result, it may be taking longer than normal to find open appointments with your healthcare providers.
If this is your experience, we ask for your patience and courtesy. Like many other healthcare organizations and industries, we continue to face disruptions from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our workforce and operations.
I live in this fucked up state (not far from Seattle) and can't wait to get out. It's a shame because this is a beautiful state with lots to do (why I moved here in the first place).
I have a great job that I love and I work with a great team... BUT, our new CEO (huge libtard) is forcing the clot shot, whether people WFH or not. I am applying for exemption/accommodation, but not holding my breath. In the meantime, the sick motherfucker is also making the unvaxxed get tested weekly until they comply with the jab or they are fired for non-compliance. Nevermind that we have been self-reporting our symptoms, staying home when ill, and taking daily temp checks upon entering the buildings since this COVID shit all started last year. Of course, this is happening around the holidays... what a bastard. This state is too far gone, like CA and OR... what a shame. Seattle, King County and Olympia are infested with communists.
In the meantime, I am making plans to move out of state. I will not comply with the "mandate".
