I am trying to feel out if anyone else has declined the Covid vaccine and feeling backlash or tension with other co-workers? I have never heard so much discussion regarding nurse receiving or declining a vaccine in the 12 years I've been a nurse. Not sure why it should even matter but, I am getting a lot of pressure about it. I do not see why I am "crazy " if I made the decision against receiving the vaccine. I also do not understand co-workers pushing the vaccine on me and others, or insisting we are out of our minds. This is coming from management level as well as staff nurses. I am just appalled at the treatment and many of us who have declined the vaccine have kept to ourselves. For me, personally, I made the choice not to get it and I was done at that. It's been a month into our hospital vaccines and people will not just shut up about it.
I'm getting my second Pfizer dose today, too! Good luck, here's hoping neither of us get any gnarly side effects.
Feeling pretty good today, just a sore arm. I had some random muscle aches with a little chill late last night, but I feel pretty good today. Hope you are feeling well too, @klone!
Oh, you mean the same lying and corrupt without integrity Dr. Fauci who lied to the American public for several months at the start of the Pandemic telling people NOT to wear masks?
You mean the statement made on 8th March 2020 when nobody was wearing masks and we were not in lockdown and we were still hopeful that it would all go away soon? Way to cherry-pick your information.
I don't know what you were doing on the 8th March but I was living normally and doing everything I had always been doing.
Because YOU WILL get infected and whether asymptomatic or not, you can infect your loved ones and possibly kill or maim them!
Or, YOU can be the host that creates the mutated strain, that kills MILLIONS of people!
REMEMBER , we live in an age that can easily identify a TYPHOID MARY!
Do you want that to be your LEGACY for yourself or children?

I wish you could explain to me how am I shaming anyone? .
If you need the above explained to you then you’ll never understand. Also, there’s a whole lot of assumption in your post. I am not ashamed of anything and I’m sure as heck not ashamed of giving my colleagues time to make their own decisions. They don’t need my education and badgering them isn’t going to change their minds. In fact, it’s more likely to make them stand their ground.
@toomuchbaloneyTo be clear, I have no issue with using shame as behavior modification for illegal/immoral activity but it does not have a place as a tool to beat another human being into submission to your (that’s a global “your”) viewpoint.
And finally, I am not made in the image of a virus. You really jumped the shark with that one.

Actually Wuzzie, I quite liked that. Not saying it's true, because it is the first time I have come across that as a theory but it does make a kind of sense. Saying that, my atheistic proclivities are well known.

Frankly, I’m not overly fond of anyone telling me who I’m “made in the image” of. I find it a bit uppity that they think they know more about me than I do. ?
I work in a large hospital and now realize I would not know if you, or any of my coworkers, chose not to get vaccinated. I think if anyone is skipping the vaccine, they are keeping quiet about it.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says he doesn't regret joining other Trump administration public health experts in advising Americans against buying masks early on in the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an interview with CBS Evening News anchor and 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell published in InStyle magazine, Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, defended his credibility amid a steady stream of attacks on his expertise and trustworthiness from the White House.
In late February and early March as the COVID-19 outbreak began accelerating in the US, hospitals and health facilities experienced severe shortages of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers. In response, experts like Fauci and the US Surgeon General Jerome Adams advised Americans against wearing masks.
"I don't regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct. We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs and masks for the health providers who are putting themselves in harm's way every day to take care of sick people," Fauci told O'Donnell.
A liar who uses "the ends justifies the means" logic has no integrity.
Seriously???? That's what your going with???
I'm trying to protect supplies for the people on the front line who are most at risk because my government did not listen to the pandemic playbook that was written for them means we are now perilously short of PPE is "the ends justifies the means"

Just because you call someone a liar doesnt make it true. Repeating that flawed opinion doesn't increase the credibility or veracity of the opinion. The most dangerous liar about covid in 2020 was Donald Trump, not Fauci.

That's pretty much the sum total of conservative thinking today...nonsense mixed with lazy thinking and propaganda.
