How have you expressed your displeasure about their choice? Are you questioning why they have not been terminated yet?

Your logic is skewed.
Ask yourself if a vaccinated person can catch covid?
Can a vaccinated individual, healthcare worker or not spread the virus?

If the answer is no to both questions, your logic is sound.

 

No, it is your logic that is skewed.  If vaccinated people work only with vaccinated people, the viral load they are exposed to is much larger.  Problems come when vaccinated people are exposed to unvaxxed people because they are not wearing a mask or observing distance when exposed to viral loads high enough to initiate disease.  Even though the positives are over 10% in my area, I can avoid having to mix in high risk situations.  Our hospital in town is around 80% vaxxed .

People need to vaccinate against this pandemic pathogen so that we can all get back to a more normal life.

You are going to burn in hell for sharing this. LOL Only Kidding. I just know someone on here probably had to double up on their BP meds.

No one is disputing that Ivermectin is safe when used in proper dosages.  The argument is whether it's effective and if it's use should be used by people who get it from farm stores and have no idea what they are doing.  Also, there are no studies to confirm it's effectiveness.  We are absolutely sure of the vaccine's effectivenes..

Love your humour.

People who make much noise aren't the best clinicians from my perspective.
I NEVER believe in face value - always question I or anyone else says, then go check up in their work to be sure to be sure. (part Irish)
I wish you well my friend.

I was a military Police Investigator for part of my Navy career. I agree w/you. I am a big "why" guy. I ask many questions. I work in the ED at a Level 1 Trauma Center and as such, a teaching hospital. I told all the attendings when I switched from working EMS to ED as a paramedic (before becoming an RN) that I may question things, but that it was not questioning them, but trying to understand and learn the why of what we were doing. As an example why Amiodarone vs Cardizem for a particular patient in A-FIB, etc. They loved it because they knew I was inquisitive for the sake of learning. 

I appreciate you and those like you on here. Refreshing! All the best to you as well.

Please exchange the work "larger" with "smaller."  My bad.

I am sorry, I attended a seminar which showed this chart. I ask you to do exactly what I did and go to the WHO website and verify the stats.
I could not fault the stats presented.

Remember these stats are from May 2021, not current....but by golly, they pack a mighty punch.

Sorry, new to this technology, I am an old school type of nurse.
as per below.

That's a very pretty slide. I checked out VigiAccess.org and it is a data base for reported, possible side effects. That sounds much like the VAERS system in the US. 

I think the important statement from the initial page is " VigiAccess cannot be used to infer any confirmed link between a suspected side effect and any specific medicine. See the VigiAccess FAQ for a more detailed explanation."

Why? We all know that ivermectin has been used safely to treat parasites in humans for many years. Maybe this is confusing for people who believe that there is a protocol for treating covid with ivermectin. 

There is no room in science for maybe's or beliefs.

There are more than 12,000 Drs in Brazil working at the coal face using a protocol. So yes Baloney, there is a protocol that is being used.
This is Fact, not a belief.

I have personally worked with a Brazilian trained specialist in gynaecological-oncological surgery. He is equal to the task as compared to his Australian trained peers, so I have no doubt that ALL Brazilian Drs are in general terms, equal to the task in being able to identify "if" a treatment protocol works or is a complete waste of time.

If there is no validity at all in it, they would not publish it.

However, you are probably correct in saying, "VigiAccess cannot be used to infer any confirmed link between a suspected side effect and any specific medicine."
I have not checked. However, the data shown surely provides for a rough guide.

Well, VAERS is published also but that doesn't mean that people know how to read it in a context of usefulness.  It's just raw data.
