FAYETTEVILLE, Pa.—Brandon Adkins wore his “Hero” t-shirt to an off-campus gathering of Wellspan Health workers who are eager to find a compromise to the impossible choice: get vaccinated or get fired.
Not long ago, before the vaccine was developed, when more people were dying and the way COVID-19 spreads was less understood, healthcare workers like Adkins were called heroes for showing up to work despite the risks. They didn’t get raises, shorter or better hours, or certainty that they wouldn’t get sick or die; but some got t-shirts.
