I have had trouble understanding the victim card the posters you're talking about consistently play. They claim to want "open professional dialogue" but when someone doesn't agree with them and provides a matter of fact explanation why, they then call them a "bully" or "elitist". Most of the behavior I have witnessed is these posters only replying to questions they can answer with the same rhetoric over and over and ignoring any newly posed questions... even when asked directly to them. LOL

Looks good to me. Some vaccines cause more site reaction and soreness than others which I think can make us pay more attention to where the injection went.

I must have missed people making fun of patients? The stories I have read are people reacting to absurd situations in public settings. Those are not "patients"... That's like saying laughing at those crazy "people of walmart" pictures is bullying.

Because it is not a "government narrative" to encourage wearing masks and getting vaccinated. It's what the current evidence suggests. We are almost 2 years in and many posters on this thread (and allllllllll the others about covid) have shared data and articles from reputable sources on the things each individual can do to stop the spread of this horrible virus.

I've had covid and although it wasn't fun it wasn't terrible. I got vaccinated because that isn't the case for everyone, and I want to do my part to protect other people. Most people advocating for vaccination are not doing so because they are scared of what the virus will do to "them". I'm terrified of what it's doing to my patients.

This just got more insane the more I read! I wanna know what happened to him after he got home! I feel like even if he does die at home on "the protocol" his family will still find a way to blame it on his time in the hospital

The research posted above is a great source, as is your PCP. If it helps I am a traveler and have made many friends who got pregnant after their covid vaccines. 1 was an "oops" after her 1st shot and she got fully vaxxed and she and baby were healthy through the pregnancy. Another girl I work with currently recieved both vaccines while she and her husband were trying and got pregnant after her second vaccine.

Many of the people spreading misinformation do not believe the current research. So in 10 years what is going to change? If the vaccine is declared safe with zero long term effects are those spreading propaganda going to get vaccinated? I have my doubts ?‍♂️

I don't think anyone was arguing that. I was speaking to something that was said prior. I work ER and ICU and do them all the time and I agree it takes all of a few seconds and I knock it out As far as the other part of your comment I can only speak to the geographical areas I've worked since delta and from personal experience people are not getting care they need because of this horrible outbreak which has caused workers to be out sick and an influx of patients. Our ICU is full of covid right now so if we get ANYTHING else in the ER we have to send the patient elsewhere. We are flying people out of state because there are no beds. The staffing issue here is because we are full and the patients are extremely sick so we are tripled with people who would normally be a 1 to 1.

I think you missed the point of @toomuchbaloney s . ER nurses wouldnt be swamped and rushing if we didn't have swarms of people in the ER for a virus that is preventable with a vaccine. Sorry if I misinterpreted.

This was at a public pharmacy. If you've ever gotten a vaccine in the outpatient setting you literally have to fill out a consent form or they won't administer it. Most of the time you even need to make an appointment. I can't see a situation where this woman had no clue what kind of vaccine she is getting. My guess is this lunatic has a rage problem and she may have said something like that in a last ditch effort to take the blame off herself. Regardless it is wrong. No one should have to feel unsafe at work the way we do as healthcare workers.

yes and it gets removed but I'm sure plenty of people see it first.

I've heard this as well! Do you think it is bc nursing is such a large profession (aka more people in the profession = more likely that someone can notice their bully is now a nurse?)

The mild illness argument is really offensive to me. The point of vaccination is to achieve herd immunity so the poor souls who WILL get seriously sick if they get COVID have a better chance of survival. Also so our healthcare system can sustain the burden COVID brings with the patients who do need to be hospitalized while also allowing us to care for patients who need care, surgery, etc. not related to COVID.

People don't even have common sense not to spread it when they have symptoms. I was in line at the pharmacy and the lady in front of me was like "When can I get the covid vaccine? I just left the hospital and they said I have it so I have to wait before I can get it". then when the employee asked when she would be back to pick up the scripts she said "Oh I don't need them for a few days, they gave me enough to last a few days so I could go home and isolate. I just wanted to drop them off so they'd be ready". Oh and she was actively coughing and hacking. SMH. All I could think about was all the poor immunocompromised people she probably infected just in that one store alone.
