It could be that they are in higher risk demographics too. Only 7% were under 35, with the majority of the 300 or so being over 50. That greatly changes the risk/benefit equation. Although I think your generalization is probably accurate to some degree.
It seems more likely that nurses and aids can't interprete dense medicalese or understand mRNA any better than the average person and are no less susceptible to misinformation than the average person. That doesn't make them incompetent at their jobs, which aren't about creating complex treatment plans using the latest and greatest medical research, but finding veins, delivering meds, scrubbing sores, changing bed pans etc.
