Remember when New York governor Andrew Cuomo was considered the worst governor in the entire United States?
Remember how when he finally stepped down, the Left celebrated as a woman replaced him?
In a very short amount of time, current New York governor Kathy Hochul is doing her best to prove that she is just as bad a governor as Cuomo was, if not more!
Governor Hochul said she is considering replacing all the unvaccinated healthcare workers that will likely be fired for not meeting Monday’s Covid vaccine deadline with the National Guard, as well as out-of-state medical workers.
This plan would involve declaring a state of emergency to replace the possibly “tens of thousands” of workers who have refused the Covid jab.
This comes following Hochul’s disturbing claim on Sunday that God wants the unvaccinated to get the vaccine.
Could this woman be worse than Cuomo?..
Reuters reported on governor Hochul's alarming decision to potentially use the National Guard to replace workers:
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is considering employing the National Guard and out-of-state medical workers to fill hospital staffing shortages with tens of thousands of workers possibly losing their jobs for not meeting a Monday deadline for mandated COVID-19 vaccination.
The plan, outlined in a statement from Hochul on Saturday, would allow her to declare a state of emergency to increase the supply of healthcare workers to include licensed professionals from other states and countries as well as retired nurses.
Hochul said the state was also looking at using National Guard officers with medical training to keep hospitals and other medical facilities adequately staffed. Some 16% of the state's 450,000 hospital staff, or roughly 72,000 workers, have not been fully vaccinated, the governor's office said.
The plan comes amid a broader battle between state and federal government leaders pushing for vaccine mandates to help counter the highly infectious Delta variant of the novel coronavirus and workers who are against inoculation requirements, some objecting on religious grounds.
Hochul attended the Sunday service at a large church in New York City to ask Christians to help promote vaccines.
"I need you to be my apostles. I need you to go out and talk about it and say, we owe this to each other," Hochul told congregants at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, according to an official transcript.
"Jesus taught us to love one another and how do you show that love but to care about each other enough to say, please get the vaccine because I love you and I want you to live."
Newsmax with more on this tyrannical power play from Hochul:
The plan comes amid a broader battle between state and federal government leaders pushing for vaccine mandates to help counter the highly infectious Delta variant of the novel coronavirus and workers who are against inoculation requirements, some objecting on religious grounds.
"We are still in a battle against COVID to protect our loved ones," Hochul said in announcing the plan. "I commend all of the health care workers who have stepped up to get themselves vaccinated, and I urge all remaining health care workers who are unvaccinated to do so now so they can continue providing care."
Healthcare workers who are fired for refusing to get vaccinated will not be eligible for unemployment insurance unless they are able to provide a valid doctor-approved request for medical accommodation, Hochul's office said.
It was not immediately clear how pending legal cases concerning religious exemptions would apply to the state's plan to move ahead and fire unvaccinated healthcare workers.
Hochul also claimed that religious exemptions for the vaccine are "not legitimate."
