Ohio Governor: 60 percent of nursing home staff elected not to take COVID-19 vaccine

Gov. DeWine's comment, "We aren't going to make them," is the dumbest part.

old people need it wrote:

I feel like the people in the homes should take the vaccine before the healthcare workers. If anyone feels SO at risk and worried about their health, take the vaccine. It’s 95% effective you should feel good about taking it, nearly immune from Covid. Which then should bring normal rational, if I’m vaccinated I’m safe and shouldn’t really worry about those who aren’t vaccinated because I’m immune.

What am I missing?

Well, not everyone who gets the vaccine is immune. The vaccines are about 95% effective and 95% is not 100%, so you could get the vaccine, think you are safe, and still have 1 chance in 20 of being able to get COVID. The more people around you who are vaccinated, the less likely it is that this will matter.

That's why herd immunity is such an important thing.

I think the part you are missing is that old people and people with compromised immune systems tend not to mount aggressive responses to vaccines, so if we can prevent the people around them from transmitting, that is the most effective protection

I ran every single day since getting the first dose including the day after (8mile workout and lifted). My arm was sore and I felt a bit more fatigued but any “symptoms” were super mild and resolved quickly. Like I said not enough to stop me from running and typically I’m super cautious about exercising if feeling ill.

They are starting to study the vaccine on children with parental permission of course but they started with adults (I would assume) since this virus has proven to be more harmful for some adults. Also the vaccinations that children get typically are because those particular viruses affect more in adolescence than adulthood (eg varicella, rubella, etc).

I mean, I'm probably an idiot for hating masks, but I'd take a vaccine in a second. Practically zero risk, a day of discomfort at most.

How can you possibly take that as a fact?

Didn't you feel better before you got the shot?

Nope, the old folks could get the vaccine if they want, and then they are not vulnerable, or at least much less vulnerable. Vaccines are a personal choice, everyone will finally have a chance to say yes or no, as it should be, then "let it rip" and everyone gets what they get.

I feel the same. Like I said any symptoms were extremely mild and quickly resolved. Getting a dose had notified to do with running but I’m more confident now that I am less likely to catch a virus that may wreck havoc on my lungs or hurt someone else. So I feel a bit more motivated to start training again.

Private spaces can require health standards to be met before entire. "No shirt, No shoes, No vaccine, no service" Cry more.

People should have the freedom to take the vaccine or not but, I foresee some consequences coming: no flights, no trains, no buses, no concerts, no sporting events, etc. After all, nearly all states require current vaccinations to attend public schools and private entities have more rights than public ones when it comes to refusing service.

Well...then; that's medical discrimination. Just because someone refuses a medical procedure (which vaccination is) doesn't give the right for businesses to discriminate against these people.

Btw, on childhood vaccine requirements; 15 states allow a philosophical exemption and 47 states allow a religious exemption. So, parents have a choice to opt out in 47 out of the 50 states.

I wish we would apply that logic to fat people. Most health problems are caused from being overweight. Those people take up all of the hospital beds. They increase our insurance premiums.

No shirt, No shoes, etc. isn't medical procedures. Vaccines are...do you know difference little man? If business want to throw the "scared rabbit" card and require vaccines of their customers, then they'll end up getting sued and customers will go somewhere else.

Businesses need customers and some will might try to require vaccination but there will be others who won't so they can get more customers particularly those being turned downed from other businesses.

The business world is fierce competition for customers...nothing new there.

I wear a mask every day, to do anything. EVERYONE hates masks. They’re annoying, but they save lives.

I’d gladly take this vaccine than the risk of catching COVID again. Ruined my running for months.

Those people are responsible not only for their health but also for the health of others. And it is especially dangerous because they work with people who are endangered. I would not allow them to make this choice.
I know many would say it’s a violation of their rights, but it is dangerous for the people they care for. That’s why I would not allow unvaccinated healthcare professionals to work with elderly people. I know a list of qualified assisted living properties in Florida that have all members of the staff vaccinated, and you can send your elderly there.

Lmao this thread aged like milk.

Imagine if you got vaccinated, are on your 80th booster and still believe you are in any way benefitted by this lol

I'm glad to see that they had a choice, which is the way it should be. For those critical of those workers, you should work there for a week or so and see what you would deal with. It's one more thing for folks who really have to do back breaking work.

It seems all the jabbed and boosted people are getting covid over and over again.

You seem to think th jab stops transmission.

That BS left the station long ago
