Think about how insane this is,\u201d the governor began, explaining that Florida took steps to protect healthcare workers in Florida. But in other states, they fired unvaccinated nurses, many of whom had natural immunity through prior infection, he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow they\u2019re so short-handed, they\u2019re actually bringing back to work nurses who are COVID-positive. They are vaccinated, but we know that\u2019s not stopping it. So they have COVID-positive people back on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, the unvaccinated, likely immune through prior infection, healthy nurses are on the sidelines, fired. How insane are these policies?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat [President] Biden\u2019s doing with this CMS mandate, we\u2019re going to enforce our protections here in Florida, but what that\u2019s going to lead to in other states that haven\u2019t done what we\u2019ve done, that\u2019s going to lead healthy nurses to be put on the sidelines while we have an acute healthcare shortage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19254298\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/51760545737_0e57cfd596_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19254298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/51760545737_0e57cfd596_o.jpg\" alt=\"President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the COVID-19 response and vaccination program, Thursday, October 14, 2021, in the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at the White House.
