      This not-surprisingly opened a can of worms: "What if a Colleague Refuses the COVID Vaccine?" ...should the shot be mandatory for healthcare workers?? Made this after hearing multiple reports of hcw refusing it. (1/3) #MedTwitter #COVID19 @Medscapehttps://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/943897?src=wnl_edit_tpal&uac=272615BV&impID=3156628&faf=1 …

      I definitely feel this conversation needs to be had. Doctors and nurses refusing the vaccine furthers mistrust and vaccine hesitancy. (Yes, the legality of all this is a whole other story.) Any hcw out there working with peers who refused the vaccine? #MedTwitter (2/3)

      Other interesting, future, questions: What happens with worker's compensation if a hospital employee refuses the COVID-19 vaccine and then gets sick with it? Would a hospital be liable if an employee refuses the vaccine and then goes and causes an outbreak? #MedTwitter (3/3)

      As far as I’m concerned, my position is the same as it is for the flu vaccine, amplified by at least an order of magnitude. If you’re unwilling to get #CovidVaccine you shouldn’t be seeing patients.

          As a patient with an autoimmune disease who hasn’t left the house for 324 days, I don’t want a physician or other HCW caring for me who chose *not* to be vaccinated!

          Aahhh sending you good wishes - respect to you for doing to part to stay safe. HCW should be the first to know that vaccines protect not only them but patients too.

          Correct. When @AmerAcadPeds finally took a stance on mandatory influenza in Children’s Hospitals and peds clinics they said it was “ethically justified and long overdue.” I agree.

          Also, professionals deliberately speaking loudly about their decision not to get the #CovidVaccine in front of patients at the nursing station should be penalized.

          I've actually witnessed this. I overheard a nurse telling a patient she didn't trust the vaccine and was concerned about long term side effects. I almost broke something.

          You nailed it sir. I agree wholeheartedly. Nonetheless, I worry how deep the mistrust has penetrated the healthcare system. I.e., that CEO at Sanford Health refused to wear a mask, those urgent care docs making up nonsense about herd immunity, dr. Alien sperm Dna, etc..
