  1. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Well, I agree that they may be correct. Except that I see the threat to the Republic as rampant, widespread voter fraud that undermines confidence end a Democratic system. Still, it doesn't really...

  2. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Maybe, but he received more votes than any other President in the history of United States elections (except for Joe Biden). So almost half of the people in the United States disagree at least to...

  3. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The thread started with concern over mandatory vaccination. I relied upon my personal experience of being required to take a flu vaccine both for work and school as a basis for this being a valid...

  4. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was not arguing that the vaccine will not give protection to multiple strains (it may or may not) rather I was arguing that getting the illness (in my case twice) will probably help only with the...

  5. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do not disregard any source certainly not the CDC or WHO. However, I also do not take it as "binding" or gospel. There are multiple variants of Covid and we do get some immunity from that form we...

  6. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There had been a discussion of herd immunity above and I was trying to explore a bit of the nuance between several different diseases and how it interacted with those specific conditions. In the case...

  7. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    These issues are very serious to me (being a health professional and having had the disease twice that I know of). Just because I might interpret the data differently or come to different (and yes...

  8. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Which aspect of the data presented is misinformation? It would be preferable to present better information which demonstrates that the aforementioned information is not correct than simply to assert...

  9. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Also, perhaps a better example of natural herd immunity before vaccination was Chicken Pox. Most people got it by age 12 or so and most survived (some however became very sick and perished). However,...

  10. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think that as long as we can all agree that the vaccines should be voluntary then we are at least mostly on the same page. It would also be good to do a large cohort study (starting now) of hospital...

  11. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When we live in a country where others define for us what is "normal for a health professional to display such biased view of vaccination and public health objectives." we have slipped into a...

  12. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't work with that population and even so there is a good evidence base for antipsychotics in schizophrenia. If I did (work with that population) I would still seek to maximize patient choice. I...

  13. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Herd immunity eventually occurs with almost any disease which is why for example small pox was so devastating to Native Americans relative to Europeans (many more Europeans had it, but few Native...

  14. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I focus on natural interventions exercise, morning sunlight, a healthy diet, music, natural interventions like SAMe and Saint John’s wort for depression. When these don’t work or the client...

  15. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Also, herd immunity is the way almost all serious disease ends. The question is whether we get there through vaccination, infection or both. However since most people won’t take these vaccines it...

  16. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The risk of death from Covid decreases significantly with each decade of age. Kids are at almost no risk and people under 50 are based on CDC numbers have at least a 99.6 percent chance of survival....

  17. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It is more reasonable with the 308 round in the AR10 than the smaller 223 round used in the AR15., however both are legal rounds for hunting in most states. Of course if I don’t know how to field...

  18. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Also as stories like this https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/health/covid-pfizer-vaccine-allergic-reaction.html become more common in the coming weeks and months you will be lucky to get 25% of people...

  19. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would encourage you to stop "the arguments from authority" . The link from The Journal of Nature and CDC data indicate an extremely low mortality rate from Covid for those younger than 60, let alone...

  20. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While I don't believe what you are saying is likely I certainly believe that it is possible (for everyone to be required to take the vaccination). As the 40-60% who take the vaccine get progressively...

    Your own link indicates: Age groupAll Deaths involving COVID-19 (U07.1)1Deaths from All CausesDeaths involving Pneumonia, with or without COVID-19, excluding Influenza deaths...

  22. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Well it turns out for me the answer seems to be buying a whole bunch of ammo, AR10's, AR 15's, and planning to move to Wyoming (in a rural area), learn how to hunt Elk, live off the land and starting...

  23. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I stand by the post this is from the Journal of Nature one of the most respected in all of Science: For every 1,000 people infected with the coronavirus who are under the age of 50, almost none...

  24. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My approach would be more in line with the Great Barrington Declarationhttps://gbdeclaration.org/ Which essentially states that most people (those under 60 with no great comorbidities) are at low...

  25. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why do you have to go into large amounts of debt? I spent about 7k per year at the University of Southern Indiana and since I was to busy to go on vacation in the Summer we probably saved more than...
