  1. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nice straw man but it won't work on me. OK fine. Sigh. Your totally right. The vaccines are safe and effective. Everyone should get both shots and a booster every 6 months. Nobody has had any negative...

  2. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was talking about the country as a whole. I don't know your county. Obviously. And let's not forget natural immunity provides protection as well. But if people are being reinfected, or breakthrough...

  3. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The original premise was safety vs freedom. I'm not arguing there shouldn't be reasonable restrictions. I'm arguing freedom is worth the risk. I don't agree with seatbelt laws. I agree with seat belt...

  4. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And the longer your attitude persists the more skeptical people will become. You are contributing to the hesitancy. Why do you think this vaccine will magically sterilize the world from the virus? If...

  5. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't trust the data you do. I don't need certainty in something else to be skeptical. I'm concerned about what I understand about the mrna technology. Heres a previous post where I paid it my...

  6. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nope. I'm all on board with vaccination. I'm even on board with job requirements. I wouldn't argue vaccination requirements are inherently bad (personally I think dialysis goes overboard with hepB but...

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Those vaccines are not mrna. I understand (and I may be wrong here but this is my big concern) the mrna is introduced into the cell, presents to dna, dna leads to spike protein production that is...

  9. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The right way is usually the safe way. (sometimes there's greater risk than reward with an act but usually the wrong way to do something is wrong because it's an unsafe way). safety isn't some...

  10. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're not listening. I said we can't let it CONTINUE. Mandating is not optional. Mandating is forced compliance. An example of what could happen to us is Australia right now. They are being confined...

  11. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sigh... This is a number of steps in. Started with why we must avoid mandates. It's not just about an inconvenience. People can tolerate inconvenience. It's about creeping totalitarianism (such as...

  12. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is that what you would tell a soldier who lost a limb in war? Freedom is not safety. Freedom is worth fighting and dying for. Safety is a method to do anything (there's a right and wrong way to do...

  14. Where do you go when you don't trust official data sources?

    10GaugeNeedles replied to 10GaugeNeedles's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks for the Hopkins suggestion. I started this separate thread to hopefully get an idea how other healthcare workers felt about this whole thing as well. Sometimes I find myself wondering if I've...

  15. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This isn't 1905. It isn't "interesting" what is happening in australia. It is totalitarian light. If we allow mandates, that sets a precedent. You think its impossible for a government to take...

  16. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. I think the government hasn't gone far enough. lets restrict movement to 1 kilometer from your house, 1 hour of exercise per day, no speaking to anyone but those you physically live with, and...

  17. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Admitting I'm wrong sucks SO bad! But it's good to get that humility gut check. I appreciate the

    Do you honestly think this split along vaccine lines is strictly "educated vs

  19. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it would be hilarious if in a few months, all the new York hospitals are maxed out due to staffing shortages but texas and Florida are fully staffed and half full due to greater staffing...

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's 3 sides to this. One side, the"anti vax" well call them (those opposed to this vaccine on principle like personal freedom restrictions from government). This side sees the opposing side as...

  22. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    God you are so right. How embarrassing. I got corrected HARD earlier. I was all wrapped up in "internet debate mode", throwing punches, ya know...then I read, "hey dude, your source really, really...

  23. Anxious, depressed, and might need to go to HR.

    10GaugeNeedles replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    So glad to hear stuff is starting to go well! I can't give advice on the political BS. I went traveling and never looked back. Good to not get your hopes up. As long as your manager has your back, you...

    Your frankness is well received, you do make good points. You're correct I didn't go deep into the....article? Letter? Whatever it is. LOL. My commentary on it (not the source itself) in my original...
