Oh yeah when I was chatting with the pharmacist he mentioned that some non-compromised people were getting third shots and I was thinking yeah, I post on a forum with all of them.

He seemed dumbfounded about antivaxers and said he'd get a 3rd if he could.

lol pharmacists can steal almost anything they want he’s probably bullshitting you

There’s a lot of medical professionals in my family and social circles and they have all crack pinged in 1 of 2 ways, without exception.

1) They are Eric Crackl-Ping posting in this thread while self-medicating
Or
2) They’ve gone full brunch lib because “I’m just going to catch it at work anyway”

Grandpa gets brought to ED by family because everyone else in the house has covid and they don’t want him to catch it. guy is perfectly fine, tests negative, but we admit him because it is the VA. grandpa sits around for two weeks until family recovers. seems like a great opportunity to vaccinate him before he goes. family calls an hour later screaming at me for giving him an “experimental vaccine” and how dare I do that without their permission and they’re gonna sue my rear end etc. why did I choose this career

at this point I feel telling such people to gently caress off is professionally appropriate

That's because we crack-ping'd a year ago. Most people haven't. My apartment is a refrigerator full of rotten food away from looking like an episode of Hoarders due to my roommate's lack of spatial awareness (she inherited some stuff) as of yesterday.

The mover kept telling me about how he took the test 3 times, and passed all of them, how someone he knew got really sick from the vaxx, how his coworkers all caught it at another job and got two weeks off, getting barred from entering a restaurant for not wearing a mask, how he only wore a mask twice, etc. All to me, who stupidity only wore a kf-94, because I assumed it would take an hour or two tops, not nearly 5 hours.

Anyway that experience taught me that some people really just perceive it like it's a cold, and it's just not a big deal. I didn't even get a "just the flu bro" vibe, it was honestly not something of concern, at all.

Hopefully I'm not the walking dead now.

I have had family members of patients in active respiratory distress refuse to wear masks even in the hospital room where their dad or whoever is dying in front of them

Anyone who has ever spent a moment caring for children knew that kids are massive disease vectors and reservoirs and you can find over a century of academic writing about how respiratory diseases spread in school-aged populations.

"Covid doesn't affect kids" was deliberate, cynical misinformation that resulted in an unknowable but likely substantial body count.

they’re also much more willing to do what needs to be done to care for others like wear masks
