      This is so obviously true it's shocking and stupid we even need to talk about it. If you work in a nursing home IN ANY CAPACITY you need to be fully vaccinated against every disease. Period. What is there to discuss? Literally zero exceptions. If you can't, do other work.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1441014837514022914 …

      There should be *no exceptions* mandates for flu and COVID vaccines for staff at nursing homes, who should be paid better as well. The elderly have weaker immune systems—that's a fact of life. No excuse for putting them at risk like this. https://twitter.com/HelenBranswell/status/1440724278018658309 …

      Yeah. But this problem doesn't fit into the polarization. It brings up uncomfortable truths, and problems we don't want to address. Check comments on any article on the unvaccinated in trad/mainstream media. But it's a huge problem. Less than 50% staff vaccinated in many places.

      What are the problems people don't want to address? Low vaccination rates among the generally working class/black/brown communities who staff many assisted living and nursing home facilities?

      Among others, yeah. Tons of people believe this, for example. It's easy to pretend this is all there is to the issue. Plus, there are structural/economic/historic American dysfunctions wrapped up in all this (pay/elderly/corruption etc).https://twitter.com/TrexPushups/status/1441019225586507780 …

      Yes it does. Furthermore the vaccine refusers are overwhelmingly right wing nut jobs whose removal from their positions will only improve things

          true. but I think the policy people who I know who work these issues are quite aware of these realities and not afraid of discussing them.

          Of course, but you need political will to try to make progress on much of this, which requires political pressure. Meanwhile, nursing home operators are quite adept at regulatory capture, and there's little political downside for politicians to being captured $$$ like that.
