    wtbcrna replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Propofol Infusion syndrome?

    wtbcrna replied to Pharmahaulic's topic in General Nursing

    wtbcrna replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That is a bunch of nonsense. You would give up an average 60% chance to not get the flu because you don't understand the cdc reports. Why don't you try and descredit the flu vaccine from the cdc...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    wtbcrna replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I never claimed the flu vaccine is 100% effective, and no general population vaccine is likely to ever be 100% effective. The only type of vaccine that would likely ever be 100% effective is based on...
