  1. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At first I wasn’t going to respond to this post but after thinking about it for a while, I felt a need to. You might not read my reply to you if you’ve followed through with your decision to...

  2. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are clearly annoyed by my posts. Isn’t it better to not read them? They are not mandatory and anyone can decide to ignore them. But what you can’t do is dictate what I get to write about. I...

  3. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again, thanks for your reply! I agree that there is no fast fix and absolutely agree that transparency is a must. I don’t want to turn this thread into a partisan fight, but I do think that the...

  4. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks for your reply. I never thought it was a viable option for the U.S. The reason I asked you is that the professor in the opinion piece you linked earlier, realized that you have to do something...

  5. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That’s not really quality logic. When you use the word ”required” when talking about vaccinating residents, does that mean that the talk you heard at your nursing home means that residents...

  6. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Welcome to AN! You are one of several posters who come here and made their very first post about a Covid-19 vaccine. I know you did not ask ? but if you had, then yes I do think your tinfoil hat is...

  7. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay. I’ve thought about it. But I can’t say that I understand the point you want to make. Who has said these things? Or rather ”spewed it” in your vernacular. In what context? I recognize...

  8. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seems to me as if you cherry-picked the partial paragraph that best suited your needs. I agree that there is a lot we still don’t know, both about the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself and the vaccines that...

  9. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are no references after the article you linked. I wouldn’t call it an article in the scientific sense, it’s an opinion piece. Granted it’s written by a medical professional, but it’s an...

  10. New Grad ICU Burnout from COVID

    macawake replied to IcuRN359's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t know if this is any help, but please know that my heart goes out to you. Your words and the feelings you describe are very similar to the things I hear from many of my coworkers. I’m not...

  11. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Admittedly I’m not a biostatistician but I don’t think that a vaccine trial with 40,000 participants is statistically underpowered. It’s actually a rather large trial and you shouldn’t be...

  12. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You’re correct and it’s the reason why I always look at the references at the end and follow the links and dig a little deeper when/if I feel it’s necessary. If necessary I will also look...

  13. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My point was I was sharing my thoughts and trying to have a conversation. My

  15. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We all have different experiences and they in all likelihood, at least in part, shape our opinions and perception. But isn’t it rather arrogant to say that others whom you don’t agree with, are...

  16. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Drowning deaths are more common in the Summer. People eat more ice cream in the Summer months. Did I just prove that eating ice cream causes drowning accidents?? Why...

  17. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you! I try very hard to not ever spread disinformation. I’m not claiming to be perfect but I do try to research the things I post as well I can beforehand. I’m not sure which...

  18. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t think that they deliberately infected people in the Tuskegee experiment? I think the study participants were already sick and the people in charge of the study decided to do a prospective...

  19. Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What is it that you think is going on ”more than the virus”? Where did you read that ”they” are in the process of implementing vaccine passports that will be required if one wishes to...

  20. Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Welcome to AN! You are one of several new posters who have recently joined this community. You appear to have one thing in common and that is that you seem to distrust Covid-19 vaccines and you also...

  21. A Few Words from Dr. Anthony Fauci

    macawake replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That doesn’t work. I don’t have a single cell in my body prone to believing conspiracy theories or any kind of quackery or woo. I only believe facts, evidence and logic. If you think I’ve been...

  22. A Few Words from Dr. Anthony Fauci

    macawake replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I already know about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. I have no idea how you think they are connected to the Covid-19 pandemic? I think you need to spell out how you think they are linked....

  23. Perspectives on the Pandemic | The (Undercover) Epicenter Nurse | Episode Nine

    macawake replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay. So if I understand you correctly, all a nurse who witnesses malpractice needs to do, is make a Youtube movie? That’s the extent of his or her legal and ethical obligations? Oh, and you...

  24. COVID: I'm ready to leave the hospital until the end of the pandemic guilt

    macawake replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I very much doubt that I’m part of any fraud problems you might have. I am assuming that you haven’t taken your information to the proper authorities based on what you wrote in OP....

  25. Perspectives on the Pandemic | The (Undercover) Epicenter Nurse | Episode Nine

    macawake replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m not sure what people ”like you” refers to? What planet I live on? Well the planet where people actually call the police when they think someone is the victim of a felony assault or a...
