IDK. Health care workers already have to have had a battery of vaccinations, Hepatitis B, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Chicken Pox, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Meningitis, annual flu shots...I don't see how one more is going to bankrupt anyone.
Pizer, Moderna and J&J's vaccine is supposed to get full FDA approval in early September.
Did I miss anything?

They are indeed vaccines, according to the FDA, which is supposed to give full approval of the Pfizer vax as early as tomorrow.
As I read it, the OP isn't about whether or not the vaccine is a vaccine. It's about the burden being places on nursing homes and how it might affect them financially.

For the second time...don't you mean "intubating", not "incubating"??
Intubating - the introduction of a tube into a hollow organ (such as the trachea)
Incubating - to maintain (something, such as an embryo or a chemically active system) under conditions favorable for hatching, development, or reaction

**BUZZER** WRONG!
Definition of "Vaccine" (per the CDC)
"Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease."
This alleged 'vaccine' does nothing to make people "immune" to covid, and it does NOT "protect the person from (contracting) that disease".
This alleged 'vaccine' does nothing to make people "immune" to covid, and it does NOT "protect the person from (contracting) that disease".
COVID-19 vaccines teach our immune systems how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19. It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19.
Now they are saying all nursing home staff needs to get shots or they won’t get federal funding. Which means all nursing homes will require it. Here’s the catch. Most nursing homes are stretched thin to the point of breaking right now. It will not take much to push them over the cliff and I think this is it…. So what happens to all those old folks without proper care… You guessed it.
Again, seeing how nursing home staff is already required to have had a battery of vaccines, I don't see how this one will tip the cash cow.
But a recent Kaiser Family Foundation survey suggests 30 percent of the vaccine hesitant, concerned they are taking an “experimental” drug, are waiting for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to formally approve the vaccine.
People are optimistic that COVID-19 in the U.S. is coming to an end, according to the latest June report of the KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor. However, this has caused people to believe that COVID-19 is no longer a risk, and as a result, they have not gotten vaccinated. Half of unvaccinated adults think that vaccinations are no longer necessary due to the low cases being reported.
