“It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness. And they kept on telling me they wish they’d known beforehand how bad measles was, so that they could have protected their family,” she said.

    I once had a neighbor tell me they “didn’t agree with liberal views on vaccines.”

    You know, like germs give a flying fuck about your political views.

    The irony? This person is a nurse.

      I worked in nursing for a while

      I worked with a few excellent people, many average people, and a horrifyingly large number of absolute fucking halfwits

        I worked in a nursing home during Covid, including when the vaccine came out and it became mandatory for employees. Despite going through school to become nurses or aides, as well as witnessing all the horrors of Covid with their own eyes, some people chose to quit instead of get the vaccine.

        I had no words, and I still have no words.
