two ways to view education: as improving already existing talent or as quality control the usa is the best at the world at improving talent. brutally mediocre on quality control the individual best pharmacist in the world has an outsized chance to be in the usa. the worst pharmacist in the first world is almost surely also in the usa. same deal w other dealios

Zugzwang posted:How is it possible for a pharmacist to be this crazy wrt a medication? Why would someone do this? Blow An entire career/life for what? To keep people from getting a vaccine they want to get and will just get somewhere else in a couple days? The only reason thing I can think of is he thinks he’s some kind of an anti-vax martyr, but even that doesn’t make much sense from his own point of view.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The Milwaukee pharmacist who deliberately left hundreds of doses of vaccine out of the freezer to make them spoil has been arrested on felony charges. Freeze-thaw cycling stuff is bad for stability, usually way worse than just leaving stuff out. I leave all sorts of stuff out on the bench overnight and it's usually fine.

Every single one of our patients asked about this today, its real bad. Fun insider info DHS has been called in for a possible domestic terrorism charge. They are looking to make an example out of this rear end in a top hat.

Zugzwang posted:I gotta say, half of clinical staff declining the vaccine is pretty drat depressing. It's one thing for average folks to deny the situation since they don't see what's going on at hospitals, but clinical workers not wanting the vaccine is quite It was pretty mind blowing to hear a respiratory therapist say she wasn't going to get it. Watching all these patients die despite your best efforts and having to do aerosol generating procedures??? Then again over the summer a bunch of nurses infected each other at a nursing station because they were pulling their masks down to talk to each other at work. My favorite are the ones who pull their masks back up when I walk past because they know they are wrong and they think I have time to snitch. I can't wait until February and my second dose has taken effect since most of the people I share a break room with declined.

I wonder what a covid casualty figure would look like. Counting everyone that has long-term health problems due to covid, instead of just people that died. Is there a number of dead americans high enough that one wouldn't see poo poo like new years eve parties in florida? I'm guessing not because whatever the mortality rate is those people will still ignore quarantine, get infected, and then go right back to partying. Well, not all of them. I'm imagining someone coming back to a nightclub wheeling an oxygen tank after covid destroyed their lungs, taking the mask off, and then dying on the dance floor.

The clinic I work for offered an opportunity to get the first vaccine dose this weekend and I swear to god fuckin laser beams shot out of my eyes and I scheduled the first thing I could. The one coworker I spoke to about it seemed ambivalent while I'm over here seeing if I can finagle this opportunity to vaccinate other members of my household (no sadly ) and alerting all my oldass 65+ family to waitlist opportunities in the area

I had an appointment Monday for my first shingles vaccine shot when I was told I needed to schedule my first covid one for any of the next three days. Fine, two major vaccinations in under 24 hours bring it on! ow!

That pharmacist is a wannabe mass murderer, he knew he had a lot of people's lives in his hands, and he chose to cause immense suffering because he had access to that power. I don't think he was anti-vaxx or a plandemic believer at all. I think he's just a fuckin psychopath who knew he had the means to make a lot of people die and he rolled with it.

psychosis is a known side effect of the roni. seems that the roni is a more parsimonious explanation for an outbreak of it

Zugzwang posted:Because if this hadn't been discovered, people might have died due to not having good protection against the virus. That some people "might have died", maybe, from not getting this good protection that they haven't had for the last year isn't a great argument.

Yeah that’s why we charge him with five hundred and seventy counts each of reckless endangerment, adulterating a prescription drug, and criminal damage to property.

This is analogous to handing out fake body armor to people who are likely to be shot at. It maybe doesn’t meet the legal definition of attempted murder, but not terribly far from it.

Zugzwang posted:It’s not the slightest bit relevant that they haven’t had protection thus far this year. It’s totally relevant that the recipients of the ruined doses believed they were getting protection when they weren’t, especially considering that folks getting vaccines at this point are generally most at risk for serious complications or death due to their professions or medical situations or whatever. As far we know, he may have genuinely believed that the vaccine was poison/mind control/mark of the beast and therefore he was trying to save people.
