I’m going to assume the ED nurse hasn’t been advising patients of his or her unvaccinated status at all. Which is strange in a profession in which full and informed consent is foundational and we’re in the middle of a bloody pandemic. And I’ll also assume his or her ED doesn’t enquire of patients whether they are okay with unvaccinated staff. In other words, nurses’ health concerns trump patients’ health concerns. And no doubt it’s advantage nurses as almost all patients would assume the nursing staff are vaccinated. Like, it would be crazy if they weren’t, wouldn’t it?
