Healthcare workers may or may not care, they are human but they are working in a system that has the largest kill rate of all of our institutions.
A study by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine says medical errors should rank as the third leading cause of death in the United States — and highlights how shortcomings in tracking vital statistics may hinder research and keep the problem out of the public eye.

I’m not sure what your point is?
Which institutions, other than healthcare, deal with procedures on the body than involve such a degree of risk?
Patients have to consent to what’s done to them, and when they do they are told that there are risks involved, risks of something going wrong, even sometimes risk of death.
Luckily vaccines are not at that level of risk, and in fact are our best defense against very lethal diseases.
Humans make errors in healthcare sometimes, but humans are the only doctors and nurses we’ve got, you know?
Anyway, I’m not going to tell someone they shouldn’t go to the ER when their femur breaks just because doctors mess up sometimes.

My point is the statistics....broken bones are different from immune systems.

Vaccines don’t fall into the category of medical errors you’re citing with that NPR story, because giving a vaccine in and of itself isn’t a medical error.
Medical errors happen. Someone is given the wrong drug, or a doctor doesn’t notice a drug allergy and the patient has a reaction. Someone leaves necrotic tissue behind during surgery and the patient gets a fatal infection. I don’t believe I’m defending the infallibility of physicians here by stating the simple fact that vaccines don’t do what this author and some of the commenters claim.

We were talking about the quality of healthcare workers here, stay on topic, I was responding to that topic...

Well, the reason he thinks healthcare workers are such low quality isn’t because of some medical error.
He thinks healthcare workers are trash because his family members got a vaccine, which he blames their health problems on.
And, I absolutely spoke to your point, multiple times, about the risks/advantages of using healthcare providers.
So I am staying on topic.
Jumping into our vaccine conversation but wanting me not to relate things to vaccines seems a little off topic to me.
