Sure, healthcare generally gets vaccinated. The cuckoo birds that made headlines are not the majority.

The measles vaccine is ~97% preventative. We count on herd immunity to cover the remainder.

In addition, this anti-vax wave includes removing subsidizing money from the public. Availability of vaccines will decline. Requirements promote availability and free programs.

I haven’t paid for a single COVID shot or booster, have you?

As someone that used to work in a Florida hospital, a disturbing number of people don't believe in vaccine use.
