    I was talking to a new friend who is a nurse yesterday, and she told me she worked in peds a bit last year during a measles outbreak in my city, during which one child died. She said she has never seen sicker children in her life, they were all unvaccinated, and that they all went home having lost so much ground. She says half the parents were just victims of disinformation but that many of them were super obnoxious.

      Interestingly, I have some nurses in the family and the rate at which people who are educated in healthcare, are anti-vax, is too damned high.

      Which isn’t to imply its a lot of people, but any nonzero amount of people, working in healthcare, who buy into anti-vax propaganda, is too many. You’ve been formally taught about this stuff. Yet, you’re anti-vax because some person on Facebook/Twitter/whatever, fed you some bullshit about the “dangers”?? Wow. What the actual fuck.

        My sister left a really great hospital job (radiology tech) due to the vaccine mandates. Some people are so smart and yet so dumb.

      Now there is serious evidence that the covid19 virus came from a lab originaly. We are in ww3. People should vaccinate their children from measles. This is the fog of war. The state is not your friend. The cheeze burger clown and ol sleepy Joe were terrible leaders. If you are sick of everything just know this is just the beginning. https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran_strategy.pdf You will in your lifetime see the American imperialist empire drop nukes on civilian population.

        This isn’t a discussion about where the virus comes from, and debating its source is entirely different than debating the science of effective treatment and vaccines. Promoting unproven horse ointments while speaking lies about proven treatments kills people.
