Nurses not getting vaccinated is an unreal phenomenon, isn't it? I work in a hospital, and some nurses who worked with COVID ECMO patients refused the COVID vaccine and got let go. How could you look at these people withering away and not want to be protected?

The flu shot is super important. I read about a preteen boy in Ohio whose parents didn't get him vaccinated, and he got influenza, and immediately got bacterial pneumonia and died, and his mother is wailing about how fast it all happened. Um, it didn't need to happen at all, they don't give them out for fun! I've thankfully never had it myself.

Not just not getting vaccinated but actively promoting ng against it. They should be fired immediately. All the other so called medical professionals who take that track as well.

They were all fired, or got it under duress. Canada isn't like this.

Bullshit. I am a former paramedic in Canada. I know loads of supposed healthcare workers who avoided COVID shots and still happily work their jobs spreading the disease of stupidity today.

Thought so with all that center of the universe stuff. Canada is a big country.

As someone working in a hospital, how are you not on every vaccine, especially those for world travelers? If someone picks up something unusual from a different part of the world, they will be going to the hospital, they will be exposing you to it

And they have no real reason for it ever. It just seems to be obstinate behaviour because they don't want to be told what to do.
