[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 76211977, member: 123415"] With regards descriptors like "hospital workers" or "medical workers", it's a carefully selected term meant to convey a certain image in the mind of the reader. When people hear those descriptors, their mind immediately goes to "highly trained doctors and nurses" Which is why I said, early on, when right-wing outlets were touting that "40% of medical workers say they don't trust the vaccine", that it was a very misleading description. "Hospital workers" and "Medical workers" describe a large group of people with a wide chasm in terms of expertise. 'Hospital/Medical worker' could mean an accountant that works at the hospital, a CNA or LPN (two designations of nursing that don't require a heck of a lot of training), a person who works in the cafeteria, or the Attending Neurosurgeon. It's basically like saying the Software Engineering Technical Lead for Microsoft's OS development team and the 17 year old kid who works at the Geek Squad at Best Buy are both "Tech Workers"...technically a true statement, but those two are not the same thing. Where certain hospitals are forced to [I]walk the tightrope[/I]... some of the "less than expert" employees are in areas where there are already shortages (so they don't want to fire them unless they absolutely have to), but don't want to take the vaccine, so the hospitals are between a rock and a hard place. For instance, if you're running a hospital, and 40% of the orderlies and janitors don't want to take the jab, but the people filling those positions are needed (and could be hard to replace), they're in a tough spot.
