I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

I’m fucking sick of masks like pretty much everyone, but I wouldn’t mind if there was some mandate where you have to wear masks in grocery stores and whatnot during flu season so we don’t have to worry about some filthy snot nosed kid sneezing all over the produce section 

It is not the kids that sneeze on the produce. Its the olds in my experience.

Id just be worried about takin a vax road trip and showing up and them seeing an obviously fit and healthy looking young guy (not me, them) and then being told “yea no. These are earmarked for olds and obese. Be gone”

I am not engaging in this activity and think it’s silly, by the way. I’m happy to wait and get it when it’s convenient.

got mine the day after gov did his stupid press conference. had to drive 90 minutes, but no one asked me nothing. 

i was willing to wait my turn until our fuckstick governor went full fuckstick.

It’s definitely the olds. They have to inspect and touch every piece of produce in the entire section before choosing the first one they touched

The roll out is bad. That the companies dolling out the vaccine are making up their own rules is absurd. Kroger basically said fuck the CDC, we are only handing it out to health care and nursing home workers and olds. MD Anderson said it was only for cancer patients. Memorial Hermann hospitals basically said “only previous patients here matter”.

Houston’s website waitlist has been modded to say “don’t rely on us.”

Sam’s/Walmart doesn’t even have an option to cancel an appointment after you make one.

This is pathetic. The blame here is all political. They fumble fucked this.

Who is "they" ? Listen Jack we don't have a robust national healthcare system. The Biden administration has done the best they can at ramping up production. The vaccine is distributed to the states, who dictate where it goes and to whom.
What your seeing is the result of a patchwork local and private system of healthcare to combat a pandemic with predictable results. Add in our dumb politics and it gets worse. It's unsurprising Amarrillo has excessive vaccine and teachers in Austin wait.

If things hold steady Biden will have delivered 100M vaccines in half the time promised. That's pretty fucking impressive.

My Republican friends all credit Trump for the "fast vaccine response" and will continue to do so.  They think it's the biggest feather in his cap. 

I've used this line repeatedly, but again: Trying to have a serious conversation about politics or current events with modern Republicans is like trying to have a serious math conversation with people who've been taught that two plus two equals five.

Oh, we're drifting apart in a hurry.  And that's a shame, but conservative media is literally changing them.

I was kind of joking, but the same has happened with some pretty good friends and family. They can't stop spewing their trash talking points even during holidays, so I've just removed myself from the equation.

Got my first Pfizer vaccine today and was asked no questions, didn’t get my id checked and was given a vaccine record with blanks for all info that might identify whoever was vaccinated.  I’m tempted to go get more vaccines and sell these records to conspiratorially minded anti-vaxxers on eBay.

It’s almost if having 50 states with 50 different sets of laws is not the best system for directing a unified response to a health crisis including the streamline of a vaccination policy and rollout

Governor MeeMaw extended our mask mandate until April 9th.

And Mo Brooks and Will Ainsworth and Tommy Tuberville and John Merrell are BIG MAD.

Color Key:

Red: aggressively molest that pustulant socialist over-spiced socialist snow monkey with a moldy socialist carrot. (Used socialist in honor of Mo.)

Blue: who cares what they think.

Urnge: Did Tommy even know there was a mask mandate?

Kids in cages back at pre-Covid levels. 
Schools, no. 

 

It was never about kids in cages. It was about ripping young kids away from their parents. Only the trump administration did that, it was straight up evil, psychologically damaging to those kids, and you supported it.

It was about arresting parents, charging them with prison time, and then declaring the children as “unaccompanied minors”. Some children really are unaccompanied when arriving at the border and not made that way by ICE

I’m a notorious wimp but I’ve never had soreness like I did after my Covid shots.

Out of respect, I’m not going to make a lewd comment in response to that setup which is just begging for a lewd response.

This.

He’s an evil cocksucker playing a dishonest “whatabout” game. He supported a reform that openly and proudly declared that it was going to purposefully hurt children to terrorize their parents into doing its will. Never forget: these people are flat out evil.

It is known.  

Just like it was never about psychotropic medication use in the immigrant kids BH treatment settings. 

Not familiar with that at all so cannot comment.

I do know evil when I see it. And what the trump administration did cleared that bar with ease.

Could you be a bigger cockmunch?  Did you read the story?  WTF do you expect us to do with a rising influx of UNACCOMPANIED minors?

Neg repped.

Of course I read it.

I didnt cause the influx. I would suggest from the start maybe not waving everybody in. I’m from close to the border. Illegal immigrant traffic is up substantially.

I thought you worked in San Antonio, which isn’t close to the border. Prove that illegal immigration is up substantially. Not just your hot takes. Actual numbers.  Otherwise fuck off. I’ve had it with people like you.  

I work in San Antonio. I said I’m from close to the border. I have friends and family there. More houses out in the country broken into, more game cameras catching people going by. Oh, and the government having to expand facilities for illegals would suggest to me that the numbers are up, but I’m just a simple man.

Dipshit.

Unless I’m sleepin 

Don’t sleep on psychotropic over prescribing in federal facilities. I realize these this ask requires a timeframe that some people find inconvenient. 
 

There were a few different exchanges on this topic. And in particular a few exchanges on the durability of attention span. Just hoping some posters can muster the endurance.

Why are they expanding capacity for illegal unaccompanied minors if not for increased volumes?

Well the short answer is that we aren’t turning them back at the border, leaving them on the other side.   The long answer is we need comprehensive immigration reform, including a robust guest worker program, not a wall which Mexico has yet to pay for.  Immigration didn’t magically disappear with MAGA in charge, and it won’t disappear with him in hiding either.  But yeah, San Antonio is close to the border.  😅

I’m from a small town close to the border. Is that spelled out well enough for you, retard?

WH officials going because there’s no increase.

I am not sure if you are missing anything.  Feel free to summarize your conclusions. 

Cute - Sexual abuse, forcing meds on kids without their or their parents permission, government funding of said practices . . . 

Is there something new?
