I would blame the vaccine for the fact that I am a babe anti-magnet were it not for the fact that this is my lifelong condition.

You should surrender your license or have it revoked.

If you get the right kind of understanding health care people for the shot, they can do things like having you close your eyes, reminding you to breathe, and so on. There was a good article on Huffpost a few days ago from someone else with the same phobia.

The phobia can be enough to make people faint. I don't understand that but want to be compassionate. They have to find a way to make it work of course.

And I have found that the Make America Kittens Again extension does not always work.

Texas wedding, outdoor, 92 fully vaccinated people, 86 did not get COVID and 91 did not die. How much of a risk taker are you?

If they were more selfish, they'd get vaccinated to protect themselves.

That is just so crazy to me. My sisters are healthcare workers in large part because my mom is an RN who worked for decades as an Emergency Room nurse, where she saw a whole lot of bad things. After tearing her rotator cuff from moving patients, she spent her last several years before retirement as a clinical instructor at the nursing school. I suspect she would have smacked any student who didn’t “believe” in vaccines upside their stupid heads.

Health care workers don't have a science education that lets them understand health care???

Do you live in the US? Because medical training here isn't science education. And a lot of nurses and various techs I know or interact with aren't very savvy about science. They can follow job-based protocols, though.

Well, the opponent was nice, but he has zero idea how to run state govt; he kept saying he'd support Trump. And John Bell is very, very smart.

FWIW, I was at Baton Rouge General. and everyone was masked, and the nurses were, as far as I can tell, vaccinated--though I think I talked mostly to fairly high level RNs.

I do think it was kind of weird that Kaye Ivey, Governor of ALABAMA which had just elected that genius Tommy Tuberville over Dong Jones, expressed frustration that residents didn't get the vaccine. It was like, excuse me, Madame Governor, DO YOU HAVE ANY DIEA WHAT STATE YOU GOVERN?
