40% of Genesis Healthcare's 70,000 strong staff are resisting the vaccine
In the week ending on July 25, more than 1,250 nursing homes across the US had infected patients, 202 of whom succumbed to the virus, federal data shows.
‘It’s so easy now to say, “Well, Genesis is doing it. Now we’ll do it,”’ said Brian Lee, the executive director of Families for Better Care, a leading advocate for long-term care of residents. ‘This is a big domino to fall.’ Lawrence Gostin, a law professor who specializes in public health law at Georgetown University, said he sees these vaccine mandates as a ‘snowball effect’ and that resisting vaccination mandates at this point is ‘unconscionable’.
Nursing home deaths linked to the coronavirus made headlines earlier this year when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration was accused of deliberately covering up the number of deaths at elderly facilities in the state., allegedly withheld the state’s nursing home Covid-10 death toll figures at the height of the pandemic.
