Perhaps you should resort to even more name calling.  Perhaps it will persuade someone if you keep acting like the South side of a North bound mule.

BTW Vaxxed during the Pfizer trial.  Your welcome.

I think the terms ignorant, paranoid are appropriate for SOME nurses who refuse vaccination.   From the postings on these covid forums, it shows that nurses are waaaaaaay more ignorant than physicians since only a tiny percentage of them are not vaccinated..  I don't know if we can know what the percentage of unvaccinated nurses is and how we could even measure it.  Maybe the numbers of nurses who leave their jobs because of the vaccination requirement would give us a more accurate metric.  I only know what I can actually see, hear or read and we do seem to have a disturbing amount of irrational?  ignorant? nurses.   There's a lot of us who have no idea how to read research.  It needs to be a required course for everyone - regardless of what kind of program the person graduated from.

When I was in school 20 years ago we had to take a required course on how to vet research and websites for accuracy an s scientific integrity and that was just an ADN program but also required courses in critical thinking.
