Most nurses are basically the technician or operators of the medical world. You dont ask the operator how to fix a diesel engine and you dont ask the technician to develop a white paper. Its not their job, they really know nothing of those subjects but they are educated enough to "know the language" and appear smart to people who are not in that industry. What if my nurse was against something like kidney dialysis because of their "personal beliefs", if I needed kidney dialysis I would not want that nurse anywhere near me.
The death rate of nurses who contract covid is not the point of mandating their vaccintes for hospital staff either. Its the fact that they intimately deal with the most valunerable segment of the population and they have a duty to not be virus vectors for these people.
The obvious compromise here is that all the anti vax medical staff can all quit and form their own anti vax hospitals where the rest of us can all send the anti vax patients. Problem sovled.
As mentioned in the post above, a vaxed healthcare worker can transmit the virus just as easily as unvaxed. That argument doesn't hold.
