It also didn't help that after two years of being called "essential workers" and constantly exposed, hospital staff were told to get the vaccine or take a hike. The principle of the matter pissed off a lot of nurses my wife knows, whether they were vaccinated, naturally immune or not at all.

To top it off, healthy unvaccinated nurses can't work, but capacity is so low some hospitals are asking covid positive nurses to come back to work before they fully recover or had the full quarantine period.
