  1. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Did you quote the wrong post when you made the above post? Your reply doesn’t have anything to do with what I wrote in the post you quoted. And no, I don’t plan to move to Wyoming ?...

  2. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This paragraph makes absolutely no sense. I mean we’re all going to die at some point but since there isn’t a 99% recovery rate from death, I assume that the high risk you’re referring to is the...

  3. Took Ibuprofen for 2nd Vaccine

    macawake replied to jlv613's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Who has been warning about Tylenol? Could you possibly post a link to the source?

  4. Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    macawake replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Definitely not. Your equivalent is the FDA. https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/european-commission-ema-fda-agree-new-priorities-strengthen-their-collaboration-medicines...

  5. Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    macawake replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended granting a conditional marketing authorization for Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine on December 21, 2020 and the European Commission gave its formal approval...

  6. Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    What a strange post. As far as I know the government doesn’t run healthcare in California? From what I understand, care is being rationed because demand is greater than supply? As a European...

  7. Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the point you make and largely agree. I think there comes a time when treating a patient aggressively is probably more cruel than humane. The problem I think when you reach disaster...

  8. Nurses with Unusual Diets

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in Exercise and Healthy Living's Exercise

    Why are you abusing your body this way? Is this a recent thing or have you has the same extremely unhealthy diet for an extended period of time? You deserve better than this. I’ve only met a...

  9. Bring the Insurrectionists to Justice

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I wish I could say that I was surprised when I saw the news of the events that unfolded on January 6. I wasn’t. I was expecting this. The only thing that surprised me was the ease that...

  10. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’ve noticed that you only respond to the part of my post that fits your narrative. Yes, the trials were not sufficiently powered to detect eventual rare side effects. They wouldn’t be. The trials...

  11. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t understand why you quoted my post that was answering another poster’s questions regarding animal trials?? Anyway.. ? It is important to follow the data as it accumulates now that...

  12. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The Pfizer vaccine was tested on mice and macaques in pre-clinical studies. ”A two-dose series of 100 microgram of BNT162b2, separated by a three-week interval, protected 2-4 year old...

  13. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It’s hard to take you seriously on the topic of Covid vaccines. You have spent a large part of this thread bellyaching about the US turning into China due to your fear of a possible vaccine mandate...

  14. Nurses make me sick

    macawake replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    How does one disagree with a

  15. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    These are the same points that you’ve repeated over and over again. You think the lockdowns are worse than the pandemic. That’s an opinion, not a fact. I don’t see how you or anyone else for...

  16. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is one more example of me really not understanding the point you wish to make. Is is that less than a 100 and 250 sound like small numbers? I mean you’re looking at a country about the size of...

  17. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I find it so hard to follow your logic. It is absolutely true that D-dimer can be elevated due to medical conditions other than a Covid-19 infection. But what is your point? Don’t you think that...

  18. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’ll admit, this line of thinking annoys me no end. It’s not a matter of approving! Is that how you think professional nurses should look for facts? When in my mid-twenties, I could...

  19. Coworkers Going Out During Pandemic, Hospital Admin Hypocrisy...

    macawake replied to chachanurse101's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree, are they? Well, I’m in Europe and we haven’t had any kind of staff get-togethers since February. Actually not since Christmas 2019....

  20. Issue With Narcotic Count

    macawake replied to meiplums's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there! I’m neither allowed nor qualified to offer you legal advice but I have some thoughts I’ll share. The questions I ask probably shouldn’t be answered by you on a public forum like this...

  21. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you had actual evidence for the claims you make you would post it. ”It’s out there” doesn’t cut it. You wish you could... but you’re not going to waste your time... Right. Care to...

  22. Nurses make me sick

    macawake replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I didn’t think that you had some formula like two facial muscles = OK, > 10 muscles involved + > 103 dB ≠ OK. But I was genuinely wondering what you consider acceptable expressions...

  23. Covid-19 Nurses: Thank you

    macawake replied to silverbat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m so very sorry for your loss. And thank you for your kind words of praise to the nursing community. Take care! A fellow

  24. Nurses make me sick

    macawake replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    But what is the ”appropriate” way to express grief? Involving a maximum of three facial muscles? No wailing or sobbing? When does the display of grief stop being ”appropriate” and becomes...

  25. Nurses make me sick

    macawake replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK207191/box/part1_ch3.box16/ This pandemic has placed many frontline workers under enormous amounts of stress for a prolonged period of time. I personally...
