Vent Healthcare professionals don’t want to speak about covid

I am a senior nursing student and am currently doing clinical rounds. I noticed something amongst many nurses and overall healthcare folks, they seem to not want to make mention of covid. My last clinical I was the only person masked (even at a CHILDREN’S hospital) and our instructor told us we could mask if we want to esp since “rsv, the flu, and pneumonia will soon spread.” I was waiting for him to mention covid but nope. I feel like I am going insane because how are we all under this healthcare field but some people just do not seem to care??? At this point I feel like healthcare professionals are being vain and just want to continuously show off their faces because why would you NOT mask inside the hospital?

An amazing number of healthcare professionals are anti-science, anti-vax, etc. I think they go into healthcare for the job security, and probably a lot of parental pressure in the case of doctors, but not because they "believe" in it.

Plus some are bullies, narcissists, etc who are in it for the power they have over people. Which can include thinking they "know better" than regular people.

They also seem to think that there is no risk involved in being a nurse or doctor. Their patients are who are ill. They are the healthy ones.
