Workplace response to COVID- need recommendations

You edited this while I was teeing up something hilarious and completely off-topic. For that reason, you have failed the thread, by failing to provide me with the opportunity to derail it as dood's prophecy foretold.

Well. Let’s hear it.

 

[JeepHammer]

I know a number of nurses or hospital admin types who refused and got a waiver on religious grounds. Maybe that's an option?

I keep hearing about all the medical staff that are "Anti-Vaxers",
Niece is an RN, two of my wife's friends are RNs, one doctor hangs around the group,
So I asked them, they don't know one single person in the medical staff at any of the facilities they work that wasn't in line for the vaccine...
So I'm skeptical about the claims so many medical professionals are not getting vaccinated, sounds like anti-vaxer propaganda to me.

The company I sometimes work for has a bunch of anti-vaxers,
Two dead, two on permanent disability, the chief maintained man went into ICU last week, his wife and both kids got it.

The owner (vaccinated, wife is an RN) felt like crap, wife got him tested and he was positive. About 3 days of flu symptoms (headache, cough) and clear in a week, no hospital.

If I catch it, I'm hoping for the same results, flu symptoms and clear.
I have pre-existing conditions (missing 3/4 of lung and issues with that) so I REALLY don't want to die from a virus there is a free vaccine for...

I'm back to wearing my mask and keeping 100% IPA bottle close to hand simply because of the anti-vaxers I have to deal with almost daily...

I actually paid attention in 6th grade biology class, it's just not that big a deal.
You know, if this anti-vaxer bunch would have been around in the 60s there would be a lot less of them today,
Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, all those things that used to kill 50% of children before adulthood would have taken care of them.

 

[JettaKnight]

Most of them do. How do you think they get their paychecks and send their kids to school on our tax dollars?

Does that bother you - the lying?

 

[maxwelhse]

Well. Let’s hear it.

You edited. I cannot meme to what is no longer there.

Besides...

 

[buckwacker]

OK, so not open to any logic or rational.

That's way different from "She doesn't see the benefit".


There's a lot of stuff that I do where I don't see the benefit.

Seriously dude leave it alone. What is it with you?

 

[Hatin Since 87]

INGO wouldn’t stroke his ego so now he’s taking every chance to troll. Meh. 2/10. Kut did it better.

[Hoosierdood]

Somebody had to fill the hole that Kut left. Gotta put in more effort to get me to take the bait though.

My mother is a nurse practitioner with over 40 years of experience (now retired for a few years, but is still licensed) and I was trying to talk her into getting vaccinated. I'm pretty low risk so I don't see the point, she is extremely high risk so the scale is much more heavily weighted toward her doing it.

So, there ya go, an anonymous internet source of a first hand account of a medical professional who is "anti-vax".

 

[JettaKnight]

He's trolling.

I am not.


I'm simply trying to ask, "Where is she at?" Is she really, "I just don't see the benefit." Or does she have serious objections based upon some belief and/or evidence.


When you start looking for alternate jobs, that seems a little more than, "meh, what's the point?"

 

[JettaKnight]

You're right. Silence any alternate view points!

If the covid shot was a conventional vaccine, then you could say anti-vaxxer.

But it isn't, and people aren't disputing whether vaccines work. People aren't disputing autism or other issues arising.

People simply disagree with being forced to take a medical procedure. You're free to do as you like to protect yourself, others should be afforded the same degree of respect whether you agree with it or not.

Pretty sure I answered that question in post 11 when I said that wasnt her only objection.

Is that why when he gave you an answer you claimed she was against logic and rationale? Call me skeptical.

Yup. And I can add a couple more to that list. 2 Son-in-laws. One an ER doc that works the "frontlines" and the other a paramedic that works the "frontlines"

This is like a religion to you people. This isn't the type of input the OP asked for, but just as he predicted, here you are.

Can’t be true. Jeephammer says that his niece asked a doctor who asked another doctor who has a cousin in another hospital that’s married to a guy that works as a pediatrician and everyone they know lined up like it was free tickets to Pink Floyd.

The left thinks they're right here on INGO? Have you looked around?

INGO has completely driven any Democrats. Kut and Alpo was about as close you get, and even they at best moderates.



This **** is getting crazy.

 

[buckwacker]

I guess if one enjoys the forum, that's not a path I would recommend they walk. But hey, maybe they just pine for one of those emeritus badges, I dunno.
