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.

To be fair, MN, along with several DT posters who switched handles during the move, sure seemed to be obsessed with hypothetical pedo victims during the fake PizzaGate scandle.

reading that thread now is a trip. i think quite a few posters  erased everything and deleted their accounts, in addition to name changers, so not all the crazy is trackable.

How about trust doctors and scientists you stupid fuck? You would really not do something that might save your life because the government told you to do it? You know how you morons could increase your chances of stopping the Chinese Communists from taking over? Getting vaccinated and not dying from a preventable disease would sure help you at the polls in 2022 and 2024

Honestly, I think we'd be better off in that fight without them.

Since we are seemingly stuck in this horrifying loop and these people refuse to not be insane, the more of these people that covid takes out, the better.  

At the risk of being a heartless asshole (instead of a regular, everyday generic asshole) I'm there as well.

Kids, especially those under age 12 or those that are older and their parents are actively preventing the child from receiving a shot and those that medically (and not some exemption a chiropractor whipped up) can't get a vax I do have empathy towards.

LOL

Not sure if it's hilarious or sad so fucking few of you have figured out by now that this whole thing is driving us to the Social Credit System and the prison it creates. 

Nice job leaving a dystopian world for your children and grandchildren cowards...  That panoramic life review is going to be fun upon death lol, but enjoy you sure as fuck will have earned it.

But we can’t be mean to them!!!
 

There’s something to be said for this take. There’s a whole ghoulish thread here of posters tap dancing on the graves of people who are too stupid to avoid medical advice from Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan.

Yelling at people who hate you won’t work. It doesn’t matter how maddening that is. It’s going to take a different approach (or just pay them already).

Update on USPS’s supposed exemption to vaccine mandates.

“U.S. Postal Service workers are subject to a rule to be developed by the Labor Department mandating coronavirus vaccinations for workers and weekly testing for non-vaccinated employees at companies with over 100 workers, a senior Biden administration official told CNN and the Washington Post.”

Nothing will work. How can someone "own the libz" if they end up getting the vaccine? They would rather die.

You are seriously misinformed, though I, too, believe there exists an ongoing threat to our Republic, but this isn’t the thread to discuss it. Vaccine mandates are not the threat, as they have historical precedent, and the Republic did not fall.

When the Supreme Court Ruled a Vaccine Could Be Mandatory

A 1905 decision provided a powerful and controversial precedent for the flexing of government authority.

I have this very board advocated for empathy wherever one can muster it. It’s important for your own mental health but damn if it ain’t hard. 
 

Some of us are separated from loved ones by borders that should be open but aren’t because of your freedom to spread pestilence. 

”But don’t act arrogant to me!”

Some of us can’t get the medical treatment we need because you’re taking a bed that shouldn’t be full. 

”It’s so disgusting to make fun of people who disagree with you.”

Some of us are working to the breaking point and beyond to save you when you could have saved yourself with a free shot. 
 

“How intolerant to use a tragedy to make a political point.”

Some people who are weak and sick are dying because you think you are strong, and you don’t give a shit about anyone else. 
 

“It’s so grotesque to mock entirely preventable tragedies wrought upon people who invited them.”

People should be kind. People should have empathy. People should forgive the weaknesses of others. And people should do what they can to not kill themselves, others and destroy their own society.

Interesting hypothetical I’m going over in my mind- say you are a company that has 103 employees. Most of them happily got vaccinated. Your most valuable employee, by whatever metric, refuses vaccination and refuses testing because freedom. If you don’t want to lose that employee, do you look at terminating multiple employees that are less valuable to get under 100?  Look to take some to contractor (assuming that makes a difference in the edict)?  Those actions would presumably punish the employees that are doing the right thing. 

If someone is refusing an action that will lead to them not being employed, they're not your best employee. Start sending someone to shadow them for their eventual departure.

Imagine thinking that we could persuade people who think we're nazis because we want them to stop killing people. 

How are we going to persuade people who think we're evil? How are we going to persuade people who think we eat babies? How are we going to persuade people who think it's all a massive global conspiracy against them? How are we going to persuade people who want us to die?

I don't really know. But maybe you remember that you are more alike than not and you get them to remember that too. You find the common ground and you make them aspire to be better and make you better because of the sense of community. This is hard shit and we have lost our way from being able to do this somewhat since we internet yell at people.  The people here that you are talking about are assholes in our community, they are assholes with us assholes. They sort of know us.

Maybe we start with them and we show patience because they are afraid....that is what it is deep down. Not hatred or thinking we are evil but fear.  They've been made to fear those who don't think or look like them. They've been made to believe that we will replace them and take away their privilege or the idea of themselves as deserving to be first and better. 

I'm not saying I know what to do about this but I do think that understanding this is important. I used to not think about stuff like this and I would never acknowledge any discrimination towards me but the way our country has splintered in the last 8 or so years, the divisions have come to light and can't be ignored. Maybe we try to have compassion for people who have whipped themselves into such a fearful state. I don't know but we have to take the higher road and not think them evil. Someone has to be the adult.

In order to have common ground, both sides first have to agree it exists. Compassion, understanding, and sympathy can be met with outright hostility for only so long before it turns to hostility in kind. We’re 18 months or whatever into this, and one side’s begged, pleaded, and bribed to try and get us to the other end of the pandemic. We’ve been met with “fuck you” the entire time. Literally the entire time. We got a perfect display of it last night when Mr. Minnesota or whatever his name is was twisting himself into knots simultaneously arguing about how Biden was handling the pandemic. His position is literally whatever the opposite of whatever Biden is doing because of “the libs.”

A lot of us have done our part and we’re suffering because a lot of us ~won’t~. Not can’t, but won’t. It’s ok for those of us that have tried to do the right thing to be flat out fucking over it at this point.

Republicans are making Covid worse and preventing work or school from being normal. I hope they all (figuratively, and then literally) die on the anti vax and anti mask hills

They’re also squalling about freedom of choice, individual rights and government overreach while simultaneously passing voter suppression laws and denying women the right to control their bodies.  Same as it ever was..

Fake news, I’m sure:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/09/10/cullman-al-man-dies-hospitals-full-icus-turn-away-covid/8281712002/

Quote

The family of a man who died of heart issues in Mississippi is asking people to get vaccinated for COVID-19 after 43 hospitals across three states were unable to accept him because of full cardiac ICUs. 

Ray Martin DeMonia died last week in Meridian, Mississippi. He was three days shy of his 74th birthday and a well-known native in Cullman, Alabama, his family said.  

DeMonia suffered from a cardiac event, and emergency staff at Cullman Regional Medical Center had to bring him to the nearest available bed, which was nearly 200 miles away at a Mississippi hospital.

It doesn’t matter in the slightest because there isn’t a single person who would be hardened in their stance against the common good by the FAFO stuff happening who would ever be changed by decency. They’ve proved that time and time again. It’s not good that people are laughing at them killing themselves, but I’ve stopped caring about it. What if a year ago people had just been decent writ large instead of smearing their feces everywhere, killing half a million of our neighbors and family members, and creating an endemic that we’ll have to live with forever? The only people who have the power to change these peoples’ minds are either insane or are all in on the grift and don’t care about the cost. And we all get to live in the world they’ve poisoned. To the DT fuckhead who a year and a half ago was rubbing his suspenders and laughing about the libtards getting hysterical over the flu and is reading this right now with zero self awareness feeling like a big smart full grown man for the exact same reason, eat shit.

Do you think she’s teaming up with Fauci to create a new world order shadow government, or do you think maybe she’s a pseudo politician doctor who picked a few words poorly that would have been fairly innocuous in other scenarios because she wasn’t thinking about the lunatics in that specific moment?
