Just lol at this framing from Iowa Public Radio after even the CDC called Iowa out for taking last Thursday's announcement to mean they could ignore COVID in schools.

liberals:
- "the vaccine is out so you won't die OF covid, just WITH covid"
- "the vaccine is out so we can't let the cure be worse than the disease"
- "the vaccine is out so it's just the flu"
- "the vaccine is out so you wearing a mask is damaging my life and freedom"

Straight up trump admin. Genetic duplicates. Trump really did do the greatest job possible for an American president to do against covid because he was so stupid and incompetent he just went golfing and tweeting instead.

Covid 19, just another one of those childhood illnesses. You know like chicken pox, strep throat, whooping cough, measles, polio. Just kid diseases we can do nothing to prevent except pray to God that our children make it through.

yeah that guidance specifically means we're moving to some other loving state by the fall school year, regardless of my spouse's job search. gently caress that and this year's as good as any to uproot young kids

Amish do come to modern hospitals for care when it is well past the abilities of their community to treat them. A lot of the time its too late because they are generally able to tolerate living with symptoms far longer than americans who demand everything the second their back is uncomfortable. I remember I had a 30 year old Amish woman with breast cancer as a patient. It was so diffuse throughout her entire body, entire spine more cancer than bone.

I switched to a standing only computer setup because my tailbone developed issues. Also had to do tons of slowly increasing physical therapy after my ankle got too weak from walking less and injured itself.

gently caress. ive injured my ankle so many times in the past year by just standing up or just flexing it.

also, yeah, actionjackson. i get migraines because my shoulders are so tense. my calves and hips are super tight. i should foam roll but feeling physical pain is somehow more comforting because it feels so familiar.

Yall don't know the moral torture it is to have that poor woman lay on that table for an hour with every bone in her body in exquisite pain and then you get some middle age fuckhead who acts like he is paralyzed and needs an epidural to get through a 20 minute mri and after the first sequence comes up their back is pristine, not a single thing that could possibly cause significant pain.

The idea that billionaires make up for since most charities end up being "Failson" job creation or more devious cases funding a "charity/think tank" to protect their excess wealth.

Charities are also some of the least efficient ways to solve social ills because it only goes to whatever cause is deemed "noble" enough to fund, instead of what is actually necessary.

going out on a limb here to say that if someone's immune system was so poor as to allow a breakthrough after vaccination, it was also very likely they were going to die from it without the vaccine as well, so if only 4% of those people died that's probably much better than otherwise

I am constantly on the phone with the nurse screaming for ativan. Just nonstop. I put in my monthly rounding suggestions to install an ativan dispenser in the department every single month because I am a goon rear end clown that doesn't understand office politics. So much time wasted. What I really want is ketamine for patients. Just really gently caress em up doc, guarantee this exam gets done.
