This tabloid is owned by the far-right Sinclair Broadcast Group, and has been criticized by Media Matters for America for airing COVID-19 misinformation. This is a rehashing of the NY Post article (a week ago).

> New York lost nearly 34,000 health care workers due to the vaccination requirement

Note how vague "lost" is here. It includes workers that quit, retired, etc.

it was up to employers, rather than the governor, to determine what happened to employees who did not comply

This is COVID-19 misinformation:

> "I think everybody who goes into a healthcare facility or nursing home should have the assurance, and their family members should know, that we have taken all the steps to protect the public's health," Hochul said. "And that includes making sure that those who come in contact with them at their time of most vulnerability, when they are sick or elderly, will not pass on the virus."

It's really too bad the establishment media has abdicated on reporting things like this and left the field entirely wide open to right wing sources like the Epoch Times.

Sinclair Broadcast Group isn't "establishment media"?!

It's the second-largest television station operator in the United States, owning/operating about 200 stations, covering 40% of American households. Our former president publicly supported them and he's a coastal elite who's very well connected.
