Nurse Raises Concern of the Staffing Shortages from Vaccine Mandates at Iowa State Capitol

Thursday, February 10, 2022 at 1:30 PM in the Des Moines, Iowa Capitol Representative Jon Jacobsen held a subcommittee meeting to discuss The Medical Privacy & Freedom Act HSB 647 in which citizens provided testimonies with their stories of injury, discrimination, coercion, and job loss as a result of mandates. Speakers traveled from across the state and were set to speak in the capitol until midnight or later. 34th District Democratic Representative Bruce Hunter became very upset with the incontestable testimonies that did not fall in line with his agenda and stormed off. Representative Jacobsen claimed he would continue taking testimonies in the capitol until morning if necessary; however, his plan fell short as people in opposition to the bill were disturbed by the indisputable testimonies and forced everyone to leave around 8 PM. Determined to provide everyone with a voice, Jon Jacobsen continued to take recorded testimonies at a bar down the street up until around 11:30 PM. The recorded testimonies from the bar were entered into the Iowa Capitol archives by February 18, 2022.

Registered Nurse, Jennifer Scott, reflects on all the lost employees resulting in a shortage of medical professionals due to vaccine mandates. She also continues to mention that they are having to bring in out-of-state medical professionals as contractors sometimes at 3 times the cost who are not vaccinated anyways. This results in more taxpayer money leaving Iowa when the problem could have been easily averted, had mandates never been put in place.
