Dunno. In my experience its stat that would need detail. Whats a "health care worker" ? Does that include janitors in hospitals? Medical assistants in offices?What’s the deal with 40% of health workers not being vaccinated?
As above. 95% of those of that have the most hard science training and most experience get vaccinated.Doubt many unvaccinated are gonna rush to get a shot by people that don’t trust it For themselves.
I know 5 + doctors who aren't getting it and a dozen + licensed professionals of various fields who aren't interested in taking itDunno. In my experience its stat that would need detail. Whats a "health care worker" ? Does that include janitors in hospitals? Medical assistants in offices?
I don't really have much interest in what any of the above think about the vaccine more than any other lay person. They simply don't have any expertise above the average joe. I'd expect their rates to mirror the general populace.
I'd expect a middle ground for RNs where experience is very broad. I have nurses in my covid wing that think the vaccine "isn't really a vaccine." That was actually what was said today. @sparkuri would love them. Total cognitive dissonance. And I've been fine with even letting them tell me why. Anecdotes only. No actual data. Then want to ask me to distill down why the patient with spiked LFTs and cardiac issues isn't getting ivermectin and HCQ...
95+% of doctors are vaccinated.
So what's a health worker would be my first question.
As above. 95% of those of that have the most hard science training and most experience get vaccinated.
I'd second guess us if you saw the actual smartest guys in health care (PhDs) rejecting the vaccine. But that isn't happening either and in fact higher education is nearly the highest predictor of vaccine acceptance.
But yeah, I agree. If my friends and family aren't getting vaccinated I'm less inclined. The average joe is just trying to distill down a lot of noise into an educated decision.
You posted a paper. Why you backtracking now?Yet it's all true.

The largest decrease in hesitancy between January and May by education group was in those with a high school education or less. Hesitancy held constant in the most educated group (those with a Ph.D.); by May Ph.D.’s were the most hesitant group.

Same to you Mr Irony."actual smartest guys"...are you even serious with this stuff?
I wouldn't drop your name or credentials if I had them, same goes for those professionals I know personally.Same to you Mr Irony.
@Splinty , wtf is going on here in Texas? I’m fully vaccinated but I work in a crowded building with all sorts of people.
I didn't see that and don't know what population they were doing.Question for you @Splinty
A month or 2 ago, the U.K. was saying that long covid patients were getting better after getting vaccinated. Does that not mean that we could be vaccinating people after they show up at the hospital as a treatment as well?
There's quite a bit to unpack here. I was just pointing out that the oft stated narrative (it appeared in your post) where vaccine acceptance breaks down across education level is no longer true.I find the U shape interesting and unexpected. I'd want know what the reasoning was across the groups. Does it go from one position to another with education?
But my point wasn't really degree, but rather those at the top of the education food chain in Medicine. PhDs in the medical sciences are way smarter than us MDs.
That study had 10,000 Phds, and while it doesn't break it down, I would guess a fraction of them are biosciences. An English PhD is less of an expert here than someone with a masters in biochemistry.
It would give me pause if I saw a significant number of those PhDs in the field rejecting the vaccine.
I think generally "long covid" patients are just crazy people, and the vaccine has a placebo effect. That being said, this came out in March:I didn't see that and don't know what population they were doing.
I also don't have a great understanding of the pathology of "long covid" patients. The papers are all really heterogeneous and it's not clear how often nonspecific symptoms are covid or post ICU syndrome.
I don't think the chronology of immune response from the vaccines (weeks) is compatible with intervening with mild COVID before you either recover or go off the cliff. But I've got no studies to for sure know that.
I agree. And such a finding would give me pause that I am missing something.Regarding the rest of your post. It's very possible they got a bunch of English PhD's for their survey, it's also possible that acceptance among those in the field isn't as high as we're being lead to believe.
Sounds like you need to do some detective work. I'm not allowed in hospitals anymore after the.. incident...I agree. And such a finding would give me pause that I am missing something.
I've seen some serious cognitive deficits in some of my nurses who were only sick enough to be treated at home. So removing ICU status from the equation.I think generally "long covid" patients are just crazy people, and the vaccine has a placebo effect. That being said, this came out in March:

Tell me you don't know what the word anecdote means without telling me you don't know what the word anecdote means.@Gamer Dude
YaI'm gonna disclose their names and locations dipass
I can't post their dataTell me you don't know what the word anecdote means without telling me you don't know what the word anecdote means.
When it comes to the vaccine he's more of a Biden man.@sparkuri Trump has been fighting pedophile cabals with JFK Jr for you for years.
Now he wants to fight that pedo COVID from getting that sweet young adrenochrome from your immune system.
Trump "came up with the vaccine". He made it for you! Go get vaccinated.
