A Houston doctor said more than half the nurses in his unit won't get the COVID-19 vaccine for political reasons

Dr. Joseph Varon of the United Memorial Medical Center learned from the mayor that staff at his hospital will have access to vaccinations next week.

"At the end of the day, like I have said before, coronavirus has become a political toy," he said. "Most of the reasons why most of my people don't want to get the vaccine are politically motivated." Each day, United Memorial Medical Center, a small community hospital, admits at least six new critically ill patients, some of whom have traveled more than 10 hours from the hard-hit El Paso for access to treatment, Varon said.

A significant portion of the population will have to receive the vaccination before there starts to be an effect, he said. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, previously said thatand discourage others from doing so, too.

I have no issue with this. If they get sick, their fault.

Then those nurses should be fired.

Oh dear

Yeah cause we know how controversial are the vaccines’ views on gun control, taxes, reproductive and voting rights... 🙄

🤯

More good news please(((

So they will needlessly expose themselves and others. Sounds like a liability issue for the hospital to allow them to continue to interact with non-covid infected patients.

Seriously, half the nurses there don't believe in SCIENCE? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

What can we expect from the rest of the population? 🙄
