During an already existing healthcare worker shortage, New York seems to be determined to make a bad situation worse.

New York's mandate requiring inoculation of all health care workers went into full effect on September 27. New York's mandate (one of the most strict nationwide) allows no option to test weekly in place of inoculation and no religious exemptions. [source] Along with that mandate comes the very real likelihood that tens of thousands of health care workers could lose their jobs. 

But New York's governor had a "great idea." Why not replace the ousted medical staff with National Guard members? Gee. That sounds like an idea that could really catch on and seed troops across the entire country in positions of authority to fill in for the non-coompliant.

NY Governor to use National Guard troops to replace fired staff

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order on September 27 declaring a statewide emergency to manage predicted shortages. The Governor's order authorizes state authorities to fill the void with any licensed, out-of-state health care professionals from elsewhere in the U.S. to work in New York. [source]
