So the logic is I am immunocompromised so instead of risking a vaccine I'd rather risk moving my entire livelihood to a place where no one else is vaccinated either.

At least that's better than "The vaccine is not actually a vaccine at all. It is gene therapy and you are no longer human after getting it. You are now a lizard person."
Sadly, racism and misinformation have lead many Texas to believe that the surge in COVID right now is being caused by migrants. Hospitals are having to answer questions like this.
Also, here is a post from Facebook that has gone viral. If a restaurant is going to invade their privacy by asking them if they are vaccinated, they feel it is just as absurd and ridiculous and the same thing as asking if the server has (read the post). They don't even compare or make logical sense, but to conservatives it does. Because asking if they are vaccinated is just as bad.

The silly thing is that if you're immunocompromised, it seems the bigger issue is that the vaccine shot is less effective. It's not a problem of increased side effects but of reduced main effects. Hence why many jurisdictions are now recommending a third shot for the immunocompromised.
'I think we already broke': Mississippi's nurses are resigning to protect themselves from Covid-19 burnout
Earlier this month, Mississippi ICU nurse Nichole Atherton resigned, worn down by the stress, young patients and preventable deaths that have overwhelmed the state's hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Yep.
I work with another CNA that is immunocompromized...and she had no issues getting the vaccine that first week we could get it.
And another nurse is on Facebook rambling on about searching multiple doctors to get on ivermectin.
It really makes no sense.

Jesus take the wheel
TL;DR is they're shredding their intestines with ivermectin and they think they're shitting out worms

Yeah...I've read some of that thread. It's crazy....and there is no point in arguing with them, as they just ignore any factual evidence that they are wrong.
It suck that staff will leave because of all this, as we REALLY need them to stay, but nothing will convince them otherwise that these alternative choices are wrong.
I'm all for medical freedoms - but there comes a time when medical interventions outweigh personal freedoms.
(as you can probably guess...all 3 of the staff I've mentioned were Trump supporters....so there's that, too.)

That’s how I feel about the antivaxxers willing to take the Regeneron polyclonal antibodies. Or the remdesivir if they’re admitted.

Reminds me of an anecdote I saw an ICU doc say about some of his patients. He would ask them why they didn't or wouldn't get the vaccine even after what they've been through in the ICU. He said their response was something along the lines of "I don't know what's in the vaccine or what it might do to me and I need to do more research". The doc responds "I just put 5 different medications in you and you didn't ask me about a single thing about any one of them or do any research on them before you willingly took them". I simply do not understand the hard line that's been drawn in the sand by some people.

The rate of Covid-19 deaths has increased in 42 US states in the last week, according to new data, as the spread of the more virulent coronavirus Delta variant has upended a spring of reopenings and led to increasing concern headed into autumn.

One of the things I have heard people grumble about is that Covid is not nearly as bad as the 1918 - 1920 spanish flu which killed more than 50 million people world wide.
Well let's not dismiss Covid is bing not as bad just because there aren't as many deaths. The reason there aren't as many deaths from Covid is because we are better prepared to handle pandemics now than we were 100 years ago.
Masking was not widely known or used worldwide back then and we didn't know how to manage the spread. Hospitals did not have ICU that could handle the sick or put them on ventilators. Not to mention there were not vaccines or treatment options. If you were hospitalized back then you were pretty much just placed on a hospital bed and your survival was "left up to god".
If Covid happened 100 years ago it would have been just as bad. And if the Spanish Flu happened today it wouldn't have nearly been as bad.
So let's not compare apples to oranges and say I'm not worried about covid because "it's not that bad".

Notwithstanding the fact that if Spanish Flu occurred today, we would have a vaccine ready to fight it in 3-4 months, max, most of that being production time, with most countries already having facilities to make it themselves.
Judge orders Cinci hospital to treat COVID-19 patient with Ivermectin, despite CDC warnings • Ohio Capital Journal
A Butler County judge ruled in favor of a woman last week who sought to force a hospital to administer Ivermectin — an animal dewormer that federal regulators have warned against using in COVID-19 patients — to her husband after several weeks in the ICU with the disease. Butler County Common...
