Medical Professionals - Medical Doctors - now Pilots.
It's not uneducated people not willing to vaccinate.
Why are highly educated, very well paid professionals refusing?
Thoughts?
Well, you're lumping a few things together there that shouldn't be.
As I've elaborated on this before. "Medical Professionals" is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of experience and levels of expertise.
These articles elaborate more on the subject.
Covid-19 Vaccination Rates Are Poor Among Healthcare Workers - How Can We Do Better?
Study Finds 96% of Physicians Are Vaccinated for COVID-19
Among practicing Physicians, the vaccination rate is 96%. (and that 4% that's refusing includes quacks like Chiropractors - who there are a ton of all over the midwest - and are notoriously anti-vaccine, since they're technically recognized as "practicing")
Among NPs and RNs, it's >75% (and that was in March, certainly the number has increased in the last 6 months)
The rate drops off significantly when you get to LPNs and CNAs.
You can become an LPN in under a year, and a CNA within 6-8 weeks. "Highly educated" shouldn't be used for a credential certificate that says "Class of August"
A CNA and the Chief of Cardiology are both "Medical Professionals", but they're not the same thing.
Pilots may be "highly educated", but not in immunology and pathology.
That be like someone saying about me "He's highly educated in Computer Science with 15 years of experience, why does he not know about the proper way to repair a car transmission???"
