Reality is not a democracy. Something doesn't become safe because "most patients" incorrectly believe it's safe. Doctors couldn't refuse to use disinfectant, for example, even if 100% of their patients believed bacteria to be a liberal hoax.
On top of that, medical professionals who do things that are unsafe or unethical can face consequences from licensing boards, insurance companies, hospital executives, and future employers.
Also, the key is most patients. What about the patients who don't believe in extremist conspiracy theories? Should they be exposed to a dangerous disease because most of their community is wrong about it?

But that's not the case here. The alternative to patients getting treated by unvaccinated nurses is patients not getting treated at all.
