As Insider’s Allana Akhtar previously reported, some health systems have blamed unvaccinated healthcare workers for staffing shortages, but the problem with unvaccinated healthcare workers may be overstated.
Roses said she won’t get the vaccine because it feels “rushed” and “forced,” and it doesn’t guarantee that she won’t get coronavirus or spread it to others. Experts have said the vaccine was developed quickly because countries and organizations heavily invested in its development, which saved time, as Insider’s Mary Meisenzahl previously reported.
“God could come down and say to me, ‘You must take this vaccine.’ And I’d be like, ‘Sorry, Charlie,'” Roses said. “It’s not something that somebody specifically or a specific group has to tell me it’s safe. My research has to tell me it’s safe. The people that I talk to… I don’t know how to really explain that, but I kind of have to see it for myself.”
