Maybe going from being labelled as a hero to "get vaccinated or you're a threat to public health" is not something that sits very well with people.

- ceejayoz 5y agoWell, sure. A war hero becomes a bad guy if they keep shooting after the enemy surrenders, too. Context matters.
- wayoutthere 5y agoVaccines as a job requirement are nothing new and I have no pity for people who have been fired as a result. Cry me a fucking river, you’ve had to have them for decades to send your kid to public school. Honestly if they don’t believe in vaccines, I question their competency as a nurse and do not want them touching me. I as a patient should have the choice to manage my own risk level. These nurses can go find another job where they’re not exposing already sick patients to a deadly virus, because IMO they’re not qualified to be nurses.
- xboxnolifes 5y agoThere's a difference between "believing" in vaccines and not trusting an individual vaccine. It's not an all or nothing position.
- wayoutthere 5y agoIt’s not an individual vaccine; there are dozens of individual vaccines across the world and they have all been proven safe. People are just scared of a needle and the sniffles (if your body reacts to the vaccine by getting sick, congrats! You probably avoided a trip to the ICU).
