Shocking Number of Front Line Health Care Workers Refusing COVID-19 Vaccine
Front line health care workers are refusing to take the COVID-19 China coronavirus vaccine in large numbers, with Ohio reporting a 60 percent refusal rate among nursing home workers. In southern California anywhere from 20 to 50 percent of health care workers are reported to have refused the vaccine.
Two weeks ago when the first vaccines were deployed, staff at Boston Medical Center held a video dance party that was posted online by BMC CEO Kate Walsh (Note: There are no reports on the refusal rate at BMC.)
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) spoke about the shocking vaccine refusal rate at a press conference Wednesday. Excerpt from the Ohio Capital Journal:
Gov. Mike DeWine on Wednesday said that a whopping 60% of nursing home workers who have been offered the vaccine have refused it.
…“Our bigger concern is the amount of staff who are not taking it,” DeWine said. “I don’t have data in front of me, but anecdotally, it looks like somewhere around 40% of staff at nursing homes are taking the vaccines and 60% are not taking it.”
Those figures are disturbing not only because of what they might say about attitudes toward the vaccines among the larger population. They also mean that most staffers will be unprotected as they move between the outside world and nursing homes filled with vulnerable people — some of whom will not be able to take the vaccine for medical reasons.
Even so, DeWine said he isn’t going to make anybody take it.
“I’m not going to compel anybody to do it, but I’m urging people to take that vaccine,” he said. “It’s very important,”
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday on the high rate of vaccine refusal among health care workers in Southern California (excerpt):
They are frontline workers with top-priority access to the COVID-19 vaccine, but they are refusing to take it.
At St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Tehama County, fewer than half of the 700 hospital workers eligible for the vaccine were willing to take the shot when it was first offered. At Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills, one in five frontline nurses and doctors have declined the shot. Roughly 20% to 40% of L.A. County’s frontline workers who were offered the vaccine did the same, according to county public health officials.
So many frontline workers in Riverside County have refused the vaccine — an estimated 50% — that hospital and public officials met to strategize how best to distribute the unused doses, Public Health Director Kim Saruwatari said.
The vaccine doubts swirling among healthcare workers across the country come as a surprise to researchers, who assumed hospital staff would be among those most in tune with the scientific data backing the vaccines…
…The first allocations of the vaccine made by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech arrived last week in Tehama County, home to 65,000 people.
Dr. Richard Wickenheiser, the Tehama County health officer, said 495 doses were first made available to healthcare workers at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff, but the hospital “basically returned 200 back to us.”
The refusal rate among front line workers was foretold in a survey of New York City firefighters released in early December that showed about 55 percent would refuse the vaccine (via WNBC-TV):
More than half of the FDNY firefighters who answered an internal survey said they won’t take the coronavirus vaccine once it becomes available to first responders in a couple of weeks, the union representing New York City’s firefighters said over the weekend.
Uniformed Firefighters Association President Andrew Ansbro said of the 2,053 firefighters surveyed in recent days, roughly 55 percent said they would not get the vaccine. Ansbro believes a large number of the firefighters resistant to the vaccine share concerns of trying a new vaccine or have limited information of its effectiveness.
“You also have to keep in mind that 35 percent of New York City firefighters have been infected and have overcome the virus. A lot of these members feel that they have antibodies and are not an at-risk category,” Ansbro said at a press conference Sunday.
The surveyed firefighters represent approximately a quarter of the union’s overall membership…

The media can ignore the facts all they want, but when the front line don't think it is safe...
How dare they be anti vaxxers, the audacity.

Yep, happening here in my state and those that refuse are instantly unemployed.
Certainly, I believe in ones right to refuse if they believe it is not safe, but employers should also have the right to deny employment to those who fail to comply.
Going to be interesting to see how many GIs refuse the vaccinations and end up with an other than honorable discharge.

Good thing I'm "retired". Otherwise I might get fired for telling someone where THEY can stick the vaccination.

I guess I have until late summer or fall before I need to decide for real.
Here’s one thing that I don’t follow though...
I don’t understand how last week it can be claimed that both of the current vaccines are in the 90-95% effective range and then this week Fauci can say that the vaccines only reduce the symptoms if you catch the virus.
Is it really a vaccine if it doesn’t prevent the disease?

I have been taking the Dr. Jack Daniels vaccine...and so far, so good.
Why should I trust some upstart vaccine when Jack Daniels has been "sanitizing" since 1866?
I poke fun but my point is - a bunch of people will get super-rich off the current untested vaccines whether they work or not, whether they produce terrible side effects or not.

That is easily explainable if you have even the most basic understanding of how viral vaccines work. Vaccines aren't force fields.

It doesn't surprise me that people are declining the vaccine. I started working in healthcare in 1993 and can attest that healthcare workers are just as cautious as any other demographic.

Subsidized by the US taxpayers. Trump ushering in socialized medicine right under our noses.
And they get to pick and chose who gets it, but some here screaming you get fired if you don't. I would like to see the science behind it. Oh wait, there is none.
I mean seriously, if the doctors are refusing to take it...

And here is the real kicker, 85% are naturally immune. So inject yourself with an unknown chemical, to which the makers and profiteers have zero liability if things go wrong with their "rushed to market" cocktail. Then, on top of that, the 5%-10% that it doesn't work for, just opened themselves up to almost certain death (if they get it) because of pathogenic priming, you know, where the real bug comes in and subverts the fake immunity the chemical gave you, only to be a stronger bug.
And something I just thought of. Let's say you were one of the 85% that would be naturally immune. Now you inject a chemical that makes your body think you have corona. So you body starts to create the antibodies based on the fake triggers. Now the real bug comes along, and guess what? The fake antibodies don't know what to do with the real bug or the real bug adapts readily to the falsely prepared antibodies, and now you get it when you wouldn't have naturally.

What if your employer says you have to be castrated? Or how about chop of a hand?

Scout- I understand the ability to ameliorate symptoms but that is not how it was portrayed when they were touting 90-95 percent effectiveness. It was being touted as a way to prevent the spread of the virus, not simply lessen the symptoms.
My point is - was this another oh crap moment and reversal of the narrative? Or was this an attempt to purposely mislead?
Why would public transportation or an employer care if you were vaccinated if all it does is reduce symptoms on 90 -95% of people? I’ve seen no article saying if you have mild symptoms you cannot pass it on.

I could see nursing home staff rejecting the vaccine until all residents have not received it. Other than firefighters, the article conspicuously omits motivation.
The why in this case is as or more important than the what.

Just fill in the blank with any of the unconstitutional crap he spews.

My girlfriend, who several GB members have met at the SHOT Shows, is a laboratory technician who specializes in viruses. She is NOT going to be taking the current vaccine, which she feels hasn't been tested sufficiently. She's the science geek, not me, so I'm not going to be vaccinated. Let several million take it, and then I'll consider it.

Horse Plains Drifter et.al. I tried to verify this but could find nothing. How much time do you do spend searching for the one entry which seems to confirm your pre-conceived opinions while ignoring the hundreds of entries that say the opposite?

Really did try to try to find more info, started with "Parler" thinking I could check the component stories but could not find the original . Tried a few searches and got nada. Me and computers never did work well together. I am sure I can come up with some more excuses.

Using Parler to find accurate information was your first mistake.

Already been said that they want a lot of folks to take it then see if there are any additional side effects. Maybe an Attorney will get on TV when and if side effects happen Or who knows what is in the vaccine.. is it safe with the New covid out.. or will it affect the next vaccine when they get it? I don't want to take a vaccine that tricks my immune system. The new virus might not mix well with that.
