      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.

      I asked about a vaccine mandate at my mother’s assisted living place. Staff about 50% vaxed, wouldn’t put in a mandate because already struggling to hire. And they are not covered by any of the requirements.

      You think the unvaxxed staff in nursing homes are just right-wing Q nuts? Do you ever visit your parents and interact with the staff?

          Sorry to give that impression. i actually was meaning to support your point that most nursing home staff are not the stereotype ppl gave in these comments. I know many of the staff quite well.

          Must admit that it stung to see someone whose work I admire assume that I don’t care abt my parents (altho I don’t as much as I want because of my own disability)

          I am not saying you don't care about your parents! I'm saying that you are likely mistaken about the unvaccinated staff in nursing homes.

          I talk to the staff all the time. So no, I don’t think they are all Q nuts. Some are, some are certainly right wing, more are afraid of side effects. And we live in place with a low vax rate in general.
