This protest was led by Resident Physicians, who were protesting both for themselves as well as other staff. Resident physicians are doctors in training,who have been tirelessly working on the front lines, putting their lives at risk, only to be spurned and disregarded by the administration. Residents already have little power and work 70-80 hours per week under intense conditions; they are bound to comply with whatever the department/admins want or risk being blacklisted from the profession with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt.
Stanford vaccinated only 7 residents in their first phase, despite there being over 1300 of them at the institution. They also failed to vaccinate Peds EM nurses, all the while vaccinating wfh admins.
This is truly pathetic and reflective of the many problems in American healthcare.
