  • Why A Significant Number Of Healthcare Workers Are Refusing The COVID-19 Vaccine

    Despite being well aware of the horrors of COVID-19, a surprising number of healthcare workers are refusing to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus. Business Insider reports that in some institutions, as many as 80% of staff are turning down a vaccine. The resistance to vaccination is reportedly due to unfounded fears about the side-effects of these life-saving shots. The two vaccines administered in the US have been FDA approved, meaning that the benefits outweigh any potential risks. Dr. Joseph Varon says more than half of the nurses in his critical care unit are objecting to getting inoculated for political reasons. And in Portland, Oregon, cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Stephen Noble says resistance comes from not wanting to be a 'guinea pig.'

According to Business Insider, the US reported a record 67,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations on November 12. But the issues nurses are striking over — caring for too many patients at once, understaffed hospitals, and burnout — existed prior to the pandemic. One study in the Journal of Nursing Administration found adding 10% more nurses to hospitals can reduce the odds a patient will die by 4%.
