A hospital in New York announced it will stop delivering babies this month after 30 employees quit due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Lewis County Health System CEO Gerald Cayer announced Friday that the Lewis County General Hospital will stop delivering babies on Sept. 25, as the hospital is “unable to safely staff” the maternity department.
“We have a challenge to work through with the vaccination mandate,” Cayer said in a press conference. “The number of resignations received leaves us no choice but to pause delivering babies.”
The resignations come two weeks after the hospital changed its COVID-19 vaccination policy, which bans religious exemptions, The Hill reported. Employees with certain medical conditions can still seek vaccine exemptions.
Cayer said that 21 of the 30 employees who left the hospital work in clinical areas, and of a total 464 staffers, roughly 73%, are vaccinated.
The hospital still has 165 unvaccinated staff, Cayer said. Hospital employees have until Sept. 27 to receive the shot, a rule implemented by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, according to The Hill.
Cayer noted that three staff members already received medical exemptions, and another twelve employees plan to present a medical exemption.
Cayer warned other hospital departments that they were at risk due to the number of unvaccinated staffers.
“We as employees have an obligation not to put those we care for, or our coworkers, at risk,” Cayer said in the press conference.
There have been 30 employees that have taken the vaccine since the mandate was put in place, Cayer added.

Way to go 21 out of 30 quit instead of taking the deadly and unregulated jab. I also lost a job that was mine, until the final step which included showing my vaccine paper. No job is worth my life nor my health. I want the government & Fauci to prove how safe the jab is using VAERS, the FDA’s reporting system, where only 1% (Harvard study showed) actually represents all the data. Did you know the last vaccine in the ’70’s was shut down and called a failure when 25 “reported” deaths were reached? There are over 14,000 “reported” deaths from this EUA jab. But add two more zeros to the end of that number for the true number of American deaths. This doesn’t even represent all the other adverse effects, many are permanent or leads to death. This is Neither safe Nor effective. The jab makes the spike protein. It makes it!!! While Ivermectin and HCQ actually works against it, as well as a prophylaxes. Now that’s actual science not wishful thinking and non-truths. We need to stand against this government tyranny, and say STOP, NO MORE!! I want all those politicians to prove they took the jab and there was an actual cocktail of weird science in it and not sugar water, placebo. I thought 2021 was going to be better. I can’t believe how much we look like CCP, North Korea, Russia, Cuba, and the rest of countries everyone is leaving to come here to. But now they’re not sure if they should’ve come because we look just like the places they fled from. Lord help us fight the evil we’re up against.
