    Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    heron replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, it’s a system for reporting adverse events occurring in proximity to vaccination. There’s a difference. Finish reading your own citation. Better yet, run a search here on AN. Several...

    President Biden thread

    heron replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I find her hilarious. It’s one of the funnier wingnut assumptions that drivel gets a pass if it emanates from a person of color. They don’t seem to realize what that says about their own attitudes...

    heron replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You’re jumping the shark, here, kiddo. For one thing, railing against what you claim I think is a pretty feeble straw man. For another, every time your mischaracterizationns are challenged, you...

    You keep trotting this out, along with your dual citizenship and your US Marine parent (did you know that there is another member with an almost identical background?) as some sort of proof that you...

    When did “positions of power” become synonymous with “patient needing care”? I think your scriptwriter needs to review the definition of “straw man fallacy” … emphasis on

    Maybe … although this seems to be the antivaxxers talking point du jour since the same “argument” is being presented in more than one thread lately. They conveniently ignore the data regarding...

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    heron replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Quite the pseudo-intellectual anti-science rant going on there. I say pseudo-intellectual because you still don’t seem to grasp the concept of risk reduction. Or perhaps you are deliberately...

    No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If medical records of the clinical course leading to death indicate a reasonably clear cause of death, why should taxpayers have to fork over those

    COVID: It's Time to be Outspoken

    heron replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe those articles aren’t slashed all over the media because basic fact-checking suggests that they are less than rigorous. We know that at least two foreign governments have been involved in...

    RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    heron replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This same victim card gets pulled whenever a poster is challenged to get specific about their vague pejorative characterization of anyone who attempts to pin them down. ”if you don’t already...

    No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Frankly, I looked askance at the original post as well, but decided to take it seriously and assume that you really wanted to read possible explanations. I guess not. I guess the “I know a...

    No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You may not be getting the whole story. When my partner died, the coroner elected to forego an autopsy. I was told that if I wanted one done, it would have to be at my expense. If the cause of death...

    ER and schedule VS hospice and schedule?

    heron replied to justanurse19's topic in General Nursing

    Just want to add that “on call” could translate as out all night, depending on client needs which are notoriously hard predictable. Hospice shifts are nowhere near as controllable as other...

    RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    Covid misinformation is most definitely against TOS. Re-read the original post: an ER nurse exposed to Covid the way he claims could not have been wearing any PPE, thus implying that Covid is not...

    OK, I think I get it now. I was confused as to why so much time was being spent discussing post-viability terminations. It goes back to what the forced pregnancy advocates fondly believe to be the...
