I’m all for standing for your principals but what is it about a pretty safe vaccine that made her want to quit her job and lose all income from it?

I know I sure wouldn’t be submitting my resignation over a shot.

Heck when I was 15 I had to get a tuberculosis shot to work in the kitchen at a retirement home for $4.25/hr

Actually, that was a tuberculosis TEST, to see if you were a TB carrier. We seldom do tuberculosis shots (BCG) in this country, although many countries do.

That was a test to see if you had latent TB, which about 4% of the population does:

But the very fact that you think you got a “tuberculosis shot” is a fairly good indication that that nurse knows more about such things than you do. Now that doesn’t mean she is necessarily right, simply that she likely understands the intricacies of the issue more than you do and has simply come to a different opinion than you have.

Winner for stupidest post of the week to year! To think this of someone who wants to put in her body what medicine she wants and not have the government demand it for a virus that is 98 to 99 % survivable is crazy.

None, the people I associate with get vaccinated.

If they didn't believe in science, they weren't professionals.

You forgot to say MUH-FreeDUMBS

Yeah, ER nurses haven't contributed anything to society lately.

Hey I’m no doctor. It was a long time ago, all I remember is they stuck me with a needle.

Anyhow, does this nurse friend think her life is in danger from the covid vax? There are few other thing that would make me give up a career and all my income than something that put my life or my loved ones’ lives in danger. This is an honest question. Just wondering what it is about a vaccine that would make someone quit their job. I’m not promoting the vaccine here I’m just asking about taking what seems like major life altering action to avoid something that most likely won’t affect you in anyway other than side effects for a day

Compliance is submission and tyranny thrives on submission. If you submit, what is the next "mandate" they will impose? I agree with her, however I would not quit. I would make them fire me AND provide me a letter for cause. Never quit. Ever.

We've walked that tyranny path several thousand times over our history as a species. That's why the USA is the great experiment. The question will it survive public health tyranny or not?

You admitted that you let someone stick you with a needle with a biological agent you didn’t understand to get a $4.25 an hour job and then denigrated someone with far more training and experience -and with both academic and professional licensing of that training and experience - than you for making a far more informed decision than you made. That’s the honest answer. You had inadequate knowledge to have an opinion then and you have inadequate knowledge to have an opinion now - but nonetheless opine anyway.

I don’t know how the woman came to that decision either, but it is not an inherently irrational decision. Being on the frontline for this, she may have ALREADY HAD COVID, and now recovered and reviewing the literature, realizes that she now has a more complete and long lasting immunity than you or I have from the two shots we both took. Its not a one-size-fits-all world. The UK vaccine policy body just turned down making a recommendation for routine COVID immunizations for those under 15 because their risk of death due to COVID simply didn’t justify it, particularly with the risk of myocarditis in young males from the Pfizer vaccine.

it isn’t a one size fits all world. We need to be a little more nuanced than knuckle dragging proVax and knuckle dragging antiVax.

LOL, because hospitals putting a pause on delivering babies because a shortage of nurses has no lost value? What planet do you live on?

What kind of fool would even think to post that? Seriously the one of the worst takes I've ever read on this stupid message board. Hospitals are now cancelling elective surgeries because of a lack of nurses.
