I doubt even most County or Federal Health Department workers know the difference either. LPN nursing doesn't go very deep into hard science, and I'd bet most nurses brain dump that shit as soon as exams are over because most of their job is more about treatment and paperwork procedure versus in-depth hard science.

Same goes for most of the doctors too. I'd wager the majority are family practice specialties, which doesn't exactly require one to maintain any kind of detailed knowledge on virology and/or immunology. They fix booboos and ouchies and give yearly shots. Anything requiring more than that, they send up the chain to a specialist.

Not really, they just report the numbers they're given. None of them have the hard science background required in order to "verify" anything. None of them are healthcare workers, they're bean-counting administrators.

Are you retarded? No one's "trying to find excuses", you keep trying to pin culpability for something onto people who are, simply put, not in the position to be culpable in the first place.

Why would some random county HD nurse or doctor need to have an extensive knowledge of virus taxonomy when it has fuck all to do with their job? Are you seriously THIS soft-headed?
