of people who have made up their mind to not get vaccinated. As such, the choice was not between “everyone get vaccinated” or not, but rather is
the hospital is willing to use unvaccinated nurses or not.

Vaccinations are often framed as a choice that reduces risk of harm for others around you. Does a hospital operating with a nurse shortage not increase the risk of harm for the sick? If you were in the hospital with COVID, would you prefer to be treated but an unvaccinated nurse or none at all?

I’d venture to say this particularly policy is pretty obviously awful. It maybe borders on evil. It will result in more tangible harm to people than is otherwise necessary. And it won’t be noticed by people who are so unbelievably fixated on vaccinations that they fail to recognize any error that takes another form.
