The omicron variant is fueling another COVID-19 surge and Massachusetts hospitals will be instructed to push back non-essential elective procedures, but Gov. Baker wants the public to know he does not view the current trends as a repeat of last winter.

The governor will activate up to 500 members of the Massachusetts National Guard to serve as non-medical personnel in health care facilities amid a critical staffing shortage.

"We've lost 500 acute care beds in Massachusetts because of staffing shortages, so by providing the non-medical side , it will hopefully allow them the capacity and the ability to open up additional beds," Sudders said.

You create a problem by mandating EUA vaccines and then let critical health care workers go who don’t get the vax only to bring in national guard workers when you have a shortage? And cloth and surgical masks don’t work. Show me the RCT?!?!?
