This was my initial gut thought, but an employment lawyer helped me seee that most healthcare workers are not university or college educated and they are basically lower middle class.

In other words most healthcare workers share the same demographics as those who currently have low uptake on the vaccine.

Yep. For every doctor or nurse with 4+ years of postsecondary education, there are 5+ people with 2 or fewer years of postsecondary education, I'd bet.

The lower tiers of nurse only require 2 years, IIRC, and I think those are more like technical programs than typical liberal-arts-informed degrees. Then there's the clerks, the front-desk people (to include the ones at the "front desk" of each floor, department, or section of the hospital, plus the ones at the actual main entrance[s]) the cleaning and housekeeping staff (someone has to go around restocking supplies and such), the entire billing department, the people who come around to bug sick people about their insurance details, the security guards (hospitals have lots of them), and so on.

This assumes that only uneducated uninformed people are choosing to not get vaccinated. It couldn't possibly be that they understand natural immunity still provides immunity, or that the risk in their group and based on their health is very low, or that they've learned how bureaucracy can be used to influence the medical community... not like they had to learn about the atrocities committed by the medical community in the past, and how bureaucracy was used to promote things that are now seen as unethical and mistakes.

Or maybe they are aware of drugs that received authorization in the past and that the same companies that are making bank of the vaccines, don't have the best history with being honest and transparent.
