Nursing Home Workers Not Accepting Boosters

What is holding them back?

Prior Institutional Outbreaks, Worker to Patient Transmission, Senior Mortality all not Enough to Convince Administration and Staff--What is Holding Them Back?

When was the last time you have seen a news clip on COVID-19 and nursing home patients? How about one of the COVID-19 vaccinations taken by a nursing home worker? I cannot remember one in a few years now. The vaccine promotion campaign has been relentlessly oriented on those with negligible theoretical benefit—children and students.

Many of you recall from our book Courage to Face COVID-19 the harrowing story of my father Thomas L. McCullough, who in 2020 was in a nursing facility flat on his back with a pelvic fracture and a clear case of COVID-19 transmission from a nursing home worker. He was treated with a primordial version of The McCullough Protocol and survived. He wisely declined COVID-19 vaccination once they became available in December of 2020. In his facility and around the nation > 90% of nursing home workers initially took the COVID-19 vaccine. However, in late 2022, the rate of booster acceptance is at 10%.

Given all the prior history of nosocomial spread and the mortality in nursing homes, I wonder what this abysmal uptake for boosters could be signaling.

Here are some possibilities:

1) nursing home staff have witnessed COVID-19 vaccine induced deaths and serious complications,

2) most workers have had COVID-19 before and or after vaccination and felt it worthless,

3) staff and administration are not convinced on the regulatory approval of bivalent vaccines with no human testing,

4) administration which is ubiquitously stressed with staffing shortages has quietly dropped COVID-19 vaccination to keep the workforce intact and avoid the 25% rate of incapacitation/unable to work for a few days as reported in the CDC V-Safe data.

Whatever the drivers, the booster rate of nursing home workers is the most telling statistic of the failed COVID-19 vaccination campaign. If this group cannot or will not take the shots, then no one should have to take one under any circumstance and the entire line of products can be pulled off the market as I stated in the US Senate on December 7, 2022.
