    Delta Variant as Contagious as Chicken Pox

    BostonFNP replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    https://www.CDC.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm?s_cid=mm7032e1_w This is a dynamic topic right now. I agree that if there was limited vaccine supply it should be given to those that are...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    2. This covid vaccine hesitancy has zero to do with FDA approval; this is the most asinine argument of them all. It is an excuse that will be rendered obsolete shortly. Ironically, the same people...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Addicts and the obese do not directly threaten the lives of other as a result of their illness. Criminals and people that text while driving to others go to prison or are assessed fees. I...

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    BostonFNP replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think this is what frustrates me the most. Florida right now is a great example of a politician taking a political gamble to move his career forward, but unlike most political gambles, this one is...

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    BostonFNP replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We are an Oligarchy not Fascist. The top 10% of the economy dictate 78% of the policy. We are not a epic battle of Dems vs Repubs: we are fighting over the

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you seriously trying to make the argument that Florida is faring well right now or are you being ironic? It’s hard to tell with the jumbled text/speech if you are being facetiously Trump-like or...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Two out of three unvaccinated people are White. It is true that Hispanics and Blacks are lagging behind in vaccinations, but that gap has been closing steadily. In the last two weeks 41% of new...

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    BostonFNP replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Welcome to the real-world trial. You have been (not-so-)randomized into the control group of the international covid vaccination relative risk reduction experiment. Unlike most clinical trials,...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not sure where you are getting that it is a "much smaller number" of people that are adamantly opposed to vaccination, when in fact it is the majority of those left unvaccinated. That being...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually, I just went back thinking that was too good to be true, and I grabbed the wrong number. There are two different questions: Describe your personal situation regarding covid vaccination:...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unfortunately its not that small/insignificant; I follow the monthly Yahoo! News Covid Vaccination Survey because I think the data it provides is very interesting. The most recent one is here:...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In the real world I don't make a practice of generalizing, however, on these forums I think most of us are discussing at the population-level. At the population level, these are the facts: 1....

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But therein lies the crux of this issue: these people don't need to persuaded about the vaccine, it has nothing to do with the vaccine in the end. They don't want the vaccine. They don't want to wear...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe not being vaccinated, not wearing a mask, not socially distancing in the midst of a pandemic is a misstep and it matters. I used the term a bit tongue-in-cheek to be honest which is why...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The case positivity rate in Florida last week was 18.1%. It is going to be a bumpy ride in Florida. All those people concerned about "experimental" vaccines now have a front row seat in the control...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's not really a thing. It gets thrown around for a few reasons: 1. highlights that being against the covid vaccine (and masks and social distance) is the same as working for the disease, and 2....

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It really is: there doesn't seem to be a way to combat it anymore because it is so disconnected from reality. I think what I was most impressed with as I was reflecting back on the conversation...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It will be interesting to see how this develops. If you elect not to be vaccinated then it is reasonable that you should also assume some of the cost of screening testing (if required by...

    BostonFNP replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was talking with a “pro-disease” patient yesterday who lives in Florida the majority of the year; I’ve been his PCP for almost 10 years and we have a good relationship so I wanted to have an...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I see this much more commonly with patient s saying they have an “allergy” to an antibiotic vs a side effect. I’m not sure the line between side effect and adverse effect is worth arguing...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Daisy, be objective for a minute, and you will realize how ridiculous this statement is. 1. You say "this vaccine". There are 170 vaccines in trials using four different types of mechanisms....

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    “Vaccine hesitancy” in regards to the Covid vaccines really is a misnomer: it is not “hesitancy” in a traditional sense. There was an interesting survey recently that showed that majority of...
