    Really interesting oped and thread by @syramadad on vaccine hesitancy among some health care workers. Obstacles cited: worries about lower efficacy, will it hold up against variants, concerns about allergic reactions, prior infection... The very things we need to address broadly.https://twitter.com/syramadad/status/1398791643659132934 …

        At our clinic in Honolulu, a number of young female staff members (under 30) declined the vaccine: government distrust; reproductive health concerns; and what amounted to conspiracy beliefs. US govt treatment of Native Hawaiians may have affected the latter view.

        None of these make logical sense. It really makes me wonder about the ability of medical workers to make the cost benefit analysis they constantly need to make to care for us in the hospital.

        A health care worker who reasonably chose not to get vaccinated now, or to stop at 1 mRNA, b/c of prior infection would be superior by the standard you state. I hope hospitals are not so stupid as to take good workers from us by forcing such persons to be vaccinated.

        Hey Zeynep. Love your analysis. Followed recco to wear mask from start. I’m struggling with vaccine though. I’m 30, healthy, no health issues. My risk from COVID is almost zero, probably similar to risk from vaccine. Apart from the elderly, those most at risk have underlying

        Feelings of betrayal by their employers, the health care system, and government, all of which were woefully unprepared for a pandemic, chose to ignore their warnings and yet continue to put the interests of big business before them is a factor IMO. No truth, no trust, no healing

        Replying to @zeynep @syramadad

        got multiple reluctant nurses + pharmacist in dif health systems convinced to get vaccinated a lot of conversations worked but I’m pretty sure all of them would have jumped at $$ if it _wasn’t_ mandatory their issue was they all knew doctors/pharmacists/nurses against it

        They’d cite concerns like those as well but the core of it with the healthcare workers I convinced, was just multiple doctors/nurses/pharmacists they knew n trusted that were against it hospital systems should just pay them & vaccinated staff before it becomes deeply entrenched
