Nearly half of healthcare workers have declined coronavirus shots

March 30, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – While health officials have been hand-wringing about “vaccine hesitancy” as a leading threat to public health that will prolong the pandemic and blaming “anti-vaxxers” for spreading health “misinformation,” it turns out that it is doctors and nurses who are most reluctant to take a dose of a new COVID-19 vaccine.

Just 52% of health-care workers have had at least one COVID vaccine shot though they have been eligible for vaccination since day one of the vaccination campaign in December, a Washington Post and Kaiser Family Foundation poll conducted in late February through March found.

Of the 48% who have been delaying vaccination, “as many as 1 in 6 health workers said that if employers required them to get vaccinated, they would leave their job,” according to the Washington Post.

Yep, I’ll wait. And how many people have gotten the first of two shots, but on the second?

Good for them unless they’re hard selling the vaccinations to their patients.

Yep, count me in that total. But don’t mind me, I am just a nurse. :) Not getting an unproven, untested injection of who know what, into my body. Those that are currently getting it are the clinical trials for the rest of us.

And ..... I predicted months ago that the nurses were going to be leading the way for not taking an unvalidated injection.

I’m not getting the jab. When asked, I just reply not yet.

It’s amazing how Fauci, Xiden, et. al., keep moving the Covid goal posts before a return to normalcy. Getting vaccinated is not enough. Continue masking. Lockdowns. Schools closed. Passports. It is beyond suspicious.

I can excuse Biden somewhat because he is brain dead.

But this Fake Fauci Fraud Fellow changes his story every time he is asked for his "expert" advice.

He's been making his shit up since the beginning.

He bullshits the country every time he opens his mouth.

Nobody should be listening to this snake oil salesman.

He is no practicing physician or medical expert. He is a mediocrity at best.

He has been profiteering off of his government position and lies to make money. He is the highest paid government worker in the bureaucracy and apparently is accountable to no one.

And yet Biden puts him in charge of the covid pandemic. It's equivalent to putting that Climate Bimbo AO-C in charge of the Green New Deal.

I say the same to people who ask. I want further data before I put any of this in my body.

I got dose 2 a few hours before Joe Biden was inaugurated. I’m an ER nurse.

They had the clinical trials before they started administering the vaccine actually. I was in the front of the line on day 1 and I had dose 2 before Biden was even inaugurated. We all have to pick our poison here. It was an easy choice for me.

Having severe iron deficiency anemia along with GI bleeding (now treated and resolved) I been in the ER in receive blood transfusions, 5 units since end of December.

Along with the mandatory Covid nasal swab tests and questions every time, ER docs and nurses ask if I have been ‘vaccinated’. Not one time has anyone ever mentioned that I should take it. Simple head nod and check off of the questionnaire box. Same with my hematologist's staff where I just finished a regimen of 5 Iron IV infusions.

In fact after listing my meds and supplements including the daily 10,000 IUs of D3 the PA remarked that she should probably increase her own dosage.

I've taken that lack of active recommendation by medical pros as a signal that one should remain wary of the Jab.

Considering how many have likely been directly exposed to CV-19, I imagine they are in a good position to assess the need.

I’m an RN and took the pfizer knowing it was unproven and yes I was probably a test subject for the rest of those who declined to take the shot. I work with many covid patients in my ICU and did it to be able to work more freely with them in a more relaxed state of mind. Medicine and it’s practise is reaching an inflection point and I hope the Mrna vaccines can be made to work and work with few side effects...not just against chosen virii but against bacteria that have become strongly resistant to many frontline antibiotics. Otherwise it’s back to the the stone age where medicine is concerned.

My daughter has a B.S. in Chemistry, B.S.N., and doctoral degree from Baylor as a Nurse Practitioner. She has not taken the vaccine. Told me and my wife to hold off.

Enough medical personnel are wary of this to be another red flag for me.

Any time the government illegitimately removes your right to sue a company for a test product they manufactured, the government is telling you that they know there’s something wrong with it.
