The latest whine from an unvaxxed nurse, "a year ago we were heroes. Now you are

trying to kill us, forcing us to take poison." This whine came from an icu nurse in Mesa County, CO, which just happens to be a Delta hotspot. The two hospital systems there have instituted a vaccine mandate. She is an anti-vax, anti-mask, trumphumping, qanon conspiracy nut. She is the sister-in-law of a dear friend there, who told me about her fit of rage when the mandate was announced.

Glad I don't have to deal with her.

Or much of any job. Employers are now beginning to require all new hires be vaccinated as a condition of employment.

It baffles me why seemingly intelligent people are voluntarily vacating their jobs and willfully choosing a lifetime of hardship.

If it’s poison why aren’t all of us vaccinated people dropping like flies? I know this I’ll get my annual flu shot in September and my Pfizer booster shot in November.

Right wing disinformation and blatant lying is costing copious death and suffering.

Part of me wishes we could wall off a huge part of some sparsely populated State, put all the idiot anti vaccine crowd in, and give them their “freedom”.

It’s maddening, wish there was a vaccine to cure easily manipulated by media folks.

11. Working unvaxed when no vaccine is available is indeed heroic

Working unvaxed when the vaccine is readily available to all is asinine and should subject the stubborn unvaxed asshole to constant ridicule.

It is tragic we are losing HCWs at the time we need them most, but she demonstrates her lack of competency and total lack of understanding of science, medicine (at even the most basic of levels) and patient care.
