LA hospital workers do not like to take Covid-19 vaccine, media say they are somehow not ‘IN TUNE’ with science, and that Trump is to blame – RT USA News

The Los Angeles Times reported the numbers, suggesting that hospital staff – who praised the media as selfless heroes of the pandemic – may not have been “In accordance with scientific data” as public health officials would have expected. After you reach the potential “Disaster” the consequences of surprisingly low acceptance of vaccines among health workers, the newspaper found a well-known culprit: the Trump administration.

“It’s certainly disappointing, but it’s not shocking, given what the federal government has been doing for the past ten months,” Will Rosselli, president of the National Union of Healthcare Workers, told the Times. “Trust science. It’s about science, and reality, and what’s right. ”

Hospital and nursing home workers have been given the highest priority to receive the first doses of the two Covid-19 vaccines that received an emergency permit in the US – both to protect those most exposed to the virus, and to to sell to the general public about the safety of getting the shots. But in Los Angeles County, up to 40 percent of frontline workers have not been vaccinated. The Times was even worse in some other areas, including 50 percent in Riverside County, the Times said.

Less than half of the eligible staff in the St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Tehama County has agreed to receive the vaccines. The St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff returned 200 of the 495 doses it was given. A survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 29 percent of health workers were “Vaccine reluctant,” more than the average of 27 percent for the general population.

Alarm bells are off. The Times assigned five reporters, including Jack Dolan, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, to explain what went wrong. Their attempts to discredit the workers or blame the Trump administration have not been entirely successful.

“Our colleagues do not fall dead – pure risk-benefit assessment by smart people,” said one Twitter user. “Why would they take a wax?” Another said the “Show-deaf media” is blind to the truth that hospital workers who refuse the vaccine are in fact the best match for science. Another observer asks: “Doesn’t that say something about how the people who see the disease every day feel about the risk and severity of the disease?”

The Times quoted a 31-year-old nurse, April Lu, who made just such a calculation. She said that because she was six months pregnant, she chose the known risks of infection with Covid-19 over the unknown risks of being vaccinated.

Vaccine advocates have reacted angrily, with some saying hospital workers who refuse the shots should be fired, or at least put in the back of the queue for treatment if they become infected with the virus. “I can not believe it’s happening,” said one observer. “It must be a joke. How do people in the health care industry ignore science? ”

Writer Alex Berenson said he was just shocked that the Times reported on reality. “All the editors are on vacation?” he squealed.
