1. You need to account for the fact that some percentage (perhaps large) of healthcare workers already survived COVID and have natural immunity. Since the science is demonstrating that natural immunity is as durable and robust as vaccine immunity (if not more durable and robust), one would have to ask what the rationale is for firing workers who have natural immunity (as verified by a past COVID diagnosis or presence of antibodies) and do not want to be vaccinated.
2. The science is clear that vaccinated individuals can contract and spread the virus. While this doesn't mean that the vaccines aren't useful (they absolutely are), we need to be realistic about this in high-risk settings.
