A few people have mentioned balkanization and honestly I don't see any other outcome. plus I don't want to share a country with florida and south carolina

But then I remember our half rear end politicians in the PNW and I wonder if there's any positive way for it to shake out

Yeah it was annoying enough dealing with a single patient with monitor/vent/IV pump alarms for a few hours in an ambulance. Just lol lmao at non-stop shifts of 30 patients x 3 or 4 different devices alarming non-stop. Ah well I'm sure everything will be fine.

I remember a description from a nurse in New York in April 2020. Sealed into a room with 4 people on ventilators for 12 hours and trying to keep them alive. When someone died, she'd ring a bell, then some handlers would roll out their bed and roll in a new patient.

When I see videos like this, it's really hard for me to believe that many (like 30%) nurses still refuse to get vaccinated even when they see the results of not being vaccinated, but yet, it's true.

I read some interview a month ago or so where Rhea Boyd had this to say about the psychology of antivaxxers:
"These very contentious encounters are driven by people really staunchly holding on to something that they are served by in some way. Maybe it’s the source that belief came from, and they need to believe other things that source says. Maybe they want camaraderie or collegiality with people around them, so they can feel that they’re in an in-group. People need to believe that what they believe is true. They feel threatened when challenged about something to which they feel beholden."

These are all irrational, selfish reasons to not get vaccinated. We all have family members and friends who justify not getting vaccinated with one of these reasons. It's hosed and deeply harmful that we let people get away with this

COVID vaccination should not be optional
