Roughly 99% of my patients who present for monoclonal infusion so far have been vaccinated at least twice and they have to test positive for infection to qualify (that stuff runs 30k a pop) and have comorbidities and be less than 10 days out from exposure.

Where are you located? That statistic just doesn’t make a ton of sense based on the national data.

You may want to read up a bit, unvaccinated persons fuel the pandemic, moving from low vaccinated areas to others virology 101. And tomascz super spreader of vaccine misinformation, have reported your post.

People like this work in the hospital lmao. I guess ill stop wearing my seatbelt too so when I get hit by that drunk driver I have a better chance of death per your logic.

I know, right? I'm in the South West working with a population that is hardest hit and also the highest vaccinated in the US and they started getting vaccinated early in the pandemic which may be one of the keys. The incidence of diabetes here probably plays the largest role since it ups susceptibility by quite a bit. Between that and the super infectious Delta.....
And this is strait up anecdotal, but I do question all my patients about date and status of their vaccinations and these "break throughs" are a tiny sliver of the population numerically; still, almost invariably, those infected were vaccinated.
That being said, they are positive but most are not acute (they must also have an SpO2 >90% to qualify for Tx and will usually have been identified through a broad and ongoing testing campaign of which I am also a part) and might recover on their own, albeit infectious and circulating.

I never see the ones that get bad enough to be flown straight out from the ER (ED, whatever) and may or may not be vaccinated. All I'm commenting on are the ones I do see.

(I understand that these folks are a small and statistically specialized subset of the whole population, but I think the phenomenon is notable, As noted, it may be the mRNA vaccines "aging out").

Oh my, you've certainly accomplished a lot. Kill the messenger, by all means.
I've done nothing but study since this started. What fuels this pandemic is retrograde, largely Anglo, human behaviour and a mindless and pernicious virus.
All I'm reporting is a small subjective and incidental finding that hasn't been rigorously groomed by anybody.
I work with anti-vaxxer RNs. I value them as skilled clinicians rendering good patient care under extreme circumstances even when my mind wants to throttle them.
When you have patients (mostly White rural "conservatives", dare I say) on their death beds arguing with their last tortured breaths that "this can't be Covid" you're up against a phenomenon wherein reason has little recourse, and it's definitely being spread more widely than any virus.

Honestly this thread doesn't surprise me given the number of people in the medical field I've run into who are totally into woo woo. The self satisfied snark pretty much wraps that type up.
I don't take my patients lives for granted. I just got tested for the fourth or fifth time and not because I enjoy the inside of my nose being subjected to whatever those swabs have on them that burns like hell.
Roughly 99% of my patients who present for monoclonal infusion so far have been vaccinated at least twice and they have to test positive for infection to qualify (that stuff runs 30k a pop) and have comorbidities and be less than 10 days out from exposure.
What's really funny is that there are a few people around that are genetically incapable of harboring this virus. It would be so ironic if this OP, who is no doubt giving all the credit to magic sky fairies, was actually the lucky recipient of some wayward evolutionary largess.
I am so over hearing this garbage.

There is a lot of denial going around about the Delta variant. Being twice as contagious means we should be twice as cautious but I see a lot of sloppy behaviors among people who have received their vaccines. We have a shortage of monoclonal antibody infusions here and people have to drive over 2 hours to the next city that has a supply.

The hardest hit population in the highest vaccinated in the SW?? Non acute and sat under 90 without chronic lung dx?

Frontliner, 11 year veteran RN, in the Emergency Department. For the last year and a half, I have been exposed to so much Covid I feel I'm so blessed. I have had it splash in my face, eyes and mouth.

If my employer mandates the Covid Vaccine I will be looking for RN jobs that do not require the vaccine. I'm employed in North Carolina but willing to travel for Jobs that do not require the Vaccine. It's my body and my choice. This thread is for links and discussion of RN jobs that do not require the Covid vaccine. Stay safe all! You could die tomorrow from a drunk driver. So don't fear death, I do not, and you should not either. Fear what happens after death.

Yes, you could die tomorrow from a drunk driver. That’s why it’s illegal to drive drunk, because it’s not cool to kill people with your bad decisions.

Get it?

>90% = Greater than. Can't be lower than 90%. Chronic lung is accounted for in the Docs assessment (assessed prior to acceptance by licensed provider, ie. FNP. MD, PA etc.)
Falling sats are generally indicative of progression of pulmonary inflammatory crisis ("Cytokine storm") which indicates critical progression of viral infection. MABI doesn't treat the response. It is only effective against continuing replication of the virus.

Some ventilated patients I worked for were victims of drunk drivers. They need miracles. Don't know if they can go back to walk again.

People are political about this vaccine and their safety. I don't think that it's generally because of their religion. I'd look for consistency of their behavior.

Florida is restricted by state law from mandates, plus they are compact state. I'm down here till all this BS blows over (if that ever happens). Stay strong. So many nurses on this site have lost their ability to critically think. Anything against the narrative is summarily dismissed as "misinfo". Every source they post was clearly cherry picked with confirmation bias. They are the kind of nurses that threaten pts with restraints if the pt is rude. Peace. You aren't alone.

And of course every post from the other side of the argument was absolutely, completely and utterly trustworthy. Even when evidence was provided that it was nonsense.

Yeah, but what about us Europeans? Restraints aint legal here.

Mainly because it is "misinfo" as you would know if YOU did some critical thinking instead of going to YOUR confirmation bias.
