  1. Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have lived in the U.S. for several years and visited different parts of the country as a tourist as well. And I’ve also lived in about a dozen countries on four continents. I agree, there are huge...

  2. Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I both agree and disagree. If by uneducated one means people with little formal education, there are many people who don’t have a lot of education who are still good people who care about the safety...

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

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree, and it’s in my opinion quite troubling. When I read the following article I was saddened to see that it appears that even this man’s battle with Covid, doesn’t appear to have convinced...

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

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    VAERS contains unverified reports. It’s raw data entered by members of the public or healthcare professionals as I understand it. The reporting system is there for the general public to report...

  5. Nursing Profession Reputation

    macawake replied to LasercopyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there, welcome to AN ? I suspect that the answers you’ll get might be influenced by a lot of factors, one of them being which part of the world the nurse lives and works in. I’m...

  6. Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I asked a poster in another thread why she thinks that the vaccination rate among U.S. physicians is so much higher than among U.S. nurses. That poster postulated that it’s because nurses have done...

  7. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think you’re correct and that’s what the doctor said. But I don’t know if Estrella has just listened to her friend who in all likelihood misinterpreted what the doctor said, and believed it...

  8. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I seriously doubt that a medical doctor has said there ”might be some component similar to birth control” in the vaccines. If a medical doctor has actually said that, he or she should ask to have...

  9. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You were ”super disappointed” with the replies? Several posters have tried to help OP with information and facts. OP expressed that s/he hadn’t worked at all during the pandemic. S/he stated...

  10. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The vaccines are definitely effective ?? We’ve already covered this in the nanoparticle thread and I thought we all agreed that the mRNA vaccines are effective. Frankly, I was a bit surprised to see...

  11. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I get it. I was thinking the same thing, which is why I wrote in my first post in response to her post that a cluster of serious side effects like that in a single family would be bound to interest...

  12. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, to have 100% of all family members affected by serious adverse events that we know are very rare, does in my opinion strain credulity. If you like the majority of us, believe...

  13. Interesting considerations regarding nanoparticle encapsulation of mRNA in covid vaccine

    macawake replied to guest1178273's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It does appear that the mRNA gets to where it needs to go. But were you seriously wondering if the mRNA vaccines are effective? In anticipation of your response, I need to clarify that I’m not being...

  14. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I haven’t questioned your right to refuse vaccination. I’ve only tried to make you think about why it might be a good idea for people who have had a Covid infection to get vaccinated. I only...

  15. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The last paragraph in my response to you was all about making you think about why it might be a good idea for a person who has already had a Covid infection to get vaccinated. Here it is...

  16. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So you are claiming that each and every one of your family members have had serious adverse reactions from Covid-19 vaccines? As long as we’re sharing anecdotes… Me and the approximately 120...

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

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I suspect they might be. It certainly helps that Covid vaccines haven’t been politicized the way they have in the U.S. There’s really no reason to lie about having gotten the vaccine, or

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

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t really know any people like that. I’m guessing you do since you posted this? Are they friends/family, coworkers or patients? Either way, it sounds like some public health education might...

  20. Patient negative and now is positive

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not sure if you are asking something? Or just sharing an anecdote? https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/false-negative-how-long-does-it-take-coronavirus-become-detectable-pcr It will...

  21. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    macawake replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Horseshoe, you are much more generous than I would be in this situation ? After having told him once to kindly leave my cloth mask alone, the second time it happened I would inform him that walking or...

  22. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    macawake replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why are you refusing to acknowledge the fact that lower risk is much better than higher risk? I’m wondering if you don’t understand the benefit of being vaccinated. Both for the vaccinated person...

  23. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This vaccine prevents hospitalization and death. Isn’t that worth something in itself? Anyway, there is also evidence that it may well also have an effect on transmission. I just posted this in...

  24. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    macawake replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The content of the vaccine isn’t ”unsubstantiated”. They have been through tests/trials before being approved. If you buy aspirin or acetaminophen at your local pharmacy, do you distrust them as...

  25. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    macawake replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Honestly, I think you’re being quite stubborn about this. No one’s said that you or anyone else, should throw caution to the wind just because you or they are vaccinated. Let’s try...
