My current doctor who will not be vaccinated told all his patients he will not be able to see anyone in person (all visits will be tele-med) after the October 18th deadline. Since he has a one-man clinic there is no one to “authorize” an exemption for him.
I wonder how long until this sort of thing extends to grocery, transportation, etc. It’s the slow creep people!
So the Oregon Health Authority went totally off the rails with the following:
secure.sos.state.or.us/oard/viewSingleRule.action?ruleVrsnRsn=280799
3) After October 18, 2021:
(a) A health care provider or healthcare staff person may not work, learn, study, assist, observe, or volunteer in a healthcare setting unless they are fully vaccinated or have provided documentation of a medical or religious exception.
(b) An employer of healthcare providers or healthcare staff, a contractor, or a responsible party may not employ, contract with, or accept the volunteer services of healthcare providers or healthcare staff persons who are working, learning, studying, assisting, observing or volunteering at a healthcare setting unless the healthcare providers or healthcare staff persons are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a documented medical or religious exception.
(9) Employers of healthcare providers or healthcare staff, contractors and responsible parties who violate any provision of this rule are subject to civil penalties of $500 per day per violation.
