Nearly half of health care workers remain unvaccinated, survey finds

A newly released survey found nearly half of health care workers nationwide remain unvaccinated.

The survey was done in early March by the Kaiser Family Foundation in partnership with The Washington Post.

Among the initial findings, the survey found:

Just over half (52%) of front-line health care workers say they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, leaving 48% who have not.

The unvaccinated group of front-line health care workers includes some who either have their vaccination scheduled (3%) or plan to get vaccinated but haven’t scheduled it

yet (15%). It also includes 3 in 10 who have either not decided whether they will get vaccinated (12%) or say they do not plan on receiving a COVID-19 vaccine (18%).

A large majority of unvaccinated health care workers, who either have not decided if they will get vaccinated or say they do not plan to get vaccinated, say that worries about potential side effects (82%) and the newness of the vaccine (81%) are major factors in their decision making.

Access to a COVID-19 vaccine from an employer is a key aspect of vaccination rates among front-line health care workers. To read the survey in its entirety, click here.

HIPPA doesn’t apply. That being said, you’re not obligated to tell them anything

they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine

So less than half have been fully vaccinated. Because they know something that we don't.

The arrogance and snarky nature of those who got it is wearing thin.

When the unknown and unwanted side effects, up to and including death appear, it will then be too late to say, 'Gee, should have passed on the vac.'

Why doesn’t HIPPA apply?

HIPPA only applies to covered entities (primarily Healthcare and insurance) and only prevents unauthorized disclosure of private health information. It doesn’t prevent anyone from asking anything.

That’s what I’m saying. What is it......uh, 3 thousand bucks if a lab has tests positive for Covid and 30 thousand bucks for a hospital that has Covid deaths. Has anyone else heard this? Is this one of those cases where we follow the money? Haven’t heard much about the flu lately...usually it’s pretty bad by this time

"LOL!! Ha....you don't think "GREEN" cards have not been made for years........"

I'm sure they have but think about it. Do you think the leftist commie government was really interested in busting people with fake green cards? Nope not at all. In fact they were probably facilitating the counterfeit cards because the more illegals here the better. Now you Trump supporters who get caught faking a covid card, you are the enemy and thus will be arrested and prosecuted for felony counterfeiting and they will send you to prison.

In a nutshell don't think a commie police state won't completely look the other way for law breakers that support their agenda and enhance their power but will throw the book at law breakers who are their political enemies. They will do exactly that.

This is already happening on a wide spread basis all over the country as commie DAs target their political enemies with endless prosecutions while simultaneously allowing endless law breaking by others.

Honestly I can't believe I have to even point this out. Anyone who thinks they are going to fake documents in the blossoming commie police state had better think again.

"So I am prepared. You gonna turn me in? "

What? Why would I do that?

I'm just saying that many conservatives think they can find loopholes to get around what is in reality, totalitarian rule. The fact is the tyrants don't give a crap about laws or applying them equally. They will target you as a political enemy and they will use the law to destroy your life. Even if you haven't broken any law they will just make it up. I can guarantee you that faking a covid card or whatever they come up with will be a very serious offense so much so as to make it not worth taking the chance. The commies are way ahead of you on this one. These are evil and violent people we are dealing with and they don't give a rats a$$ about fairness.

“My pt worker says she will not get the vaccine, because, she wants to get pregnant. Any truth to this?”

Damn! She told me she didn’t want kids and swore she was on birth control. ;-)

I'm pretty sure we are on the same side so I truly don't get the turn me in comment.

I'm not telling you what course of action to take but I can tell you what's coming. They are going to prosecute anyone who fraudulently represents themselves as vaccinated and they will make the penalties very severe. Bank on it.

"Imagine a vaccine so safe you have to be threatened to take it for a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it."

A test that was said to be unsuitable as a diagnostic tool by the inventor of the method.

“gene modifier drug”? I’ve been wondering about that. Can you tell us the biochemical processes by which the mRNA vaccines gain access to the nucleus of the cell where the genes are kept?

Yes
There have been reports that vaccine recipients run the risk of becoming sterile.
This experimental vaccine should remain voluntary.
