> 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

> "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.
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.
Also not really sure how the Politifact you cite is relevant to the content here. A more appropriate one might be something like "Hochul does not have authority to veto the ruling of the state court, which makes her assertions about not rehiring unvaccinated HCWs mostly hot air."
Edit: ah, I see, the crux of the issue is that New York in fact lost a mere 11,000 HCWs as a direct result of firings due to the vaccination mandate. The ones who took an early retirement or were furloughed (and presumably still are) bring the total to 30,000.
Murdoch's NY Post is a tabloid too, ranked 4th in the US by distribution; are they "mainstream?"

Oh wow, you didn't know any of these facts before posting. You're their target audience.
