Despite being well aware of the horrors of COVID-19, a surprising number of healthcare workers are refusing to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus. Business Insider reports that in some institutions, as many as 80% of staff are turning down a vaccine. The resistance to vaccination is reportedly due to unfounded fears about the side-effects of these life-saving shots. The two vaccines administered in the US have been FDA approved, meaning that the benefits outweigh any potential risks. Dr. Joseph Varon says more than half of the nurses in his critical care unit are objecting to getting inoculated for political reasons. And in Portland, Oregon, cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Stephen Noble says resistance comes from not wanting to be a 'guinea pig.'
