[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really insane that so many 1st responders across this country are unvaccinated. I think it really speaks to the (undiagnosed) PTSD related to their jobs and how they need dehumanize even themselves to cope with the stress and gore.

These guys will wear protective equipment when they take a call. The vaccine is simply another piece of equipment in your locker to help you get home safely to your family.[/quote]

Why are so many nurses and nursing home workers unvaccinated?  They are at the front lines and seeing all this, and still they don't want the vaccine?[/quote]

A surprisingly high percentage of nurses are into woo and alternative medicine.  There are nurses in my family, and they are always talking about this stuff.  At work, they provide the standard of care, but they are not themselves scientists, and many don't have four-year degrees or advanced degrees.  They might know a lot about how COVID presents and have experience treating people with COVID, but they don't necessarily know anything more about vaccines than anyone else.  Nursing home staff are generally less-educated people who aren't making very much money (one reason it spread so badly in nursing homes is that many workers have to work at more than one home to make ends meet, so they were carrying it from home to home).

They are not a full nurse if they don’t have a 4 year degree.[/quote]

Um, no. They are not REGISTERED nurses without a 4 year degree.[/quote]

Would rather have a LPN or an RN?[/quote]
