Easily solvable for the USA.
"2021 Medical Personnel Emergency Visa Program. Medical personnel get automatic visas if willing to relocate to American Under Developed Areas (i.e. Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Parts of Texas). First come, first serve, simply show academic credentials".
In two months you will have 1/2 of Venezuelan medical personnel there, 3/4 of Argentina, and further miscellaneous countries.

Like that you can solve in Europe too. I meant no shortage because enough nurses are educated locally and stay in the profession. Do you know such a place?

No. Which was the reason I thanked your post. You are 100% right.
It has got to be one of the toughest ways to earn a living, nowadays.

I think mRNA works differently than a regular vaccine (I think) but the poster is right to ask the question.
Also, thanks to covidiots like him the virus has been able to mutate and work against the vaccines that are available.

Indeed, it is a valid question. But the answer is out there, and it is a technical one.
I actually think that it would be good for people to know why this virus' vaccine does not work that way.

It's amazing that, even with the vaccines, some countries are seeing a record number of COVID-19 cases these days. This is very likely a testament to how easily transmissible the Delta Variant is.
Imagine what would be happening without the vaccines!

We basically saw what would happen without vaccines when Delta first emerged in India (I think their vaccination rate was around 10% at the time), and it wasn't pretty.

A new COVID variant has been identified in South Africa though it has not yet been designated by WHO as a Variant of Interest.

On the good news side: Colombia has advanced enough to start providing boosters for people. Only "catch" is that if you get a booster it has to be from a different kind than the one you had already. So, for example, I could get J&J or Moderna, but not a third Pf/Bio.
Have to go and find out how that works.
