Son. I am providing you with facts. The # of doctors and nurses - you know, actual medical PROVIDERS - is below 50% uptake and well below in most situations.

How do you rationalize your chirping and parroting that everyone around the globe in the medical community advocates for the continual consumption of these shots while the actual numbers show medical providers don't actually take them themselves?

Ya might be wrong again? For the 14,937th time on this board maybe?

What is your source that most doctors aren’t taking Covid boosters?

That is correct; data shows that the majority of doctors and nurses have not been receiving the updated COVID-19 booster vaccines. [1, 2]
While primary vaccination series in 2021 saw near-universal uptake among physicians (over 96%) and very high adoption among nurses, booster uptake has dropped dramatically across the entire healthcare workforce. [1, 2, 3]

Key Data on Booster Uptake
    • The Drop-Off: A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report noted that fewer than 1 in 6 healthcare workers (under 17%) in U.S. hospitals and nursing homes received the 2023–2024 booster.[1]
    • Recent Trends: Survey data from the 2024–2025 respiratory season showed that while over 75% of healthcare workers received their annual flu shot, only about 40% opted for the COVID-19 shot. [1]
    • Global Patterns: A study published in the Malta Medical Journal looking at healthcare worker behavior found that despite 99% of surveyed doctors and nurses taking the initial vaccine series, only 20.8% chose to take the booster. [1]

When i was in the hospital recovering from Covid, in late 2021, 2/3rds of my doctors and nurses were vaccinated, but almost a third of them were not...
i was told this by a doctor and a couple of nurses after getting the riot act read to me from the chief covid doc over being unvaccinated, turns out the hospital considered recovering from symptomatic covid the same as a vaccination and permitted unvaccinated workers who had it and recovered and had antibodies present in their system to work in the covid ward... so they knew then...

Where does it say doctors?

Doesn’t mean those things are not widely available.

But health insurers incentivize vaccine administration while also incentivizing providers to NOT test for the same diseases. Why? I thought there’s money in both.
