I am sick of hearing people say “short staffing is not an excuse.” No, it’s not- it’s a factual, proven risk for poor outcomes for patients and nurses alike. A nurse can only do and be so many things at a time. If you need them to do and be more, you need to staff more of them.

Why are some public facing doctors insisting the vaccine doesn’t reduce COVID transmission? I though we had data to show it does?

Guys…..I don’t think I want to be a nurse anymore……..

I'm confused by this sentiment that wearing a mask is "living in fear."

If you wear your seatbelt, are you living in fear?

If you wear sunscreen, are you living in fear?

If you wear a bicycle helmet, are you living in fear?

Smart living is NOT living in fear.

@HaydnSchneider @Grace1Grace @better_merica This always gets me though… they’ve been transparent in potential adverse affects. They should halt if they need to look into something more. That’s in the best interest of everyone. Myocarditis is relatively benign esp comparatively speaking. No shade! Just chatting.

@SamBraslow You are in peoples’ airways for a living, sir! 🤦🏼‍♀️😭

[Molly Altmyer @AltmyerMolly]

@HaydnSchneider UPDATE: FOUND IT!! Lol!
You nailed the caramel apple flavor!!! Well done!

[Molly Altmyer @AltmyerMolly]

@HaydnSchneider Still trying to find it! 😩😭🤞🏻

Be kind to the healthcare teams today.

That’s all.

I don’t feel like you can’t talk about it, but that tweet in particular felt very dismissive IMO. The whole mentality of “I was fine, you’ll probably be fine too” has delayed a lot of people from the help they need. It just felt dismissive to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@amandasexygirl1 @AltmyerMolly @graceisforyou My question is still the same. Why do we that had the infection and handled it just fine have to pretend that it’s a terrible disease for everyone? Why can’t we say that actually had the disease that it wasn’t the end of the world? Maybe it could get scared people hope?

@_AmandioDias @Gianniparda27 @EricTopol @MarcSantoraNYT @RaphaelMinder @OurWorldInData Thank you ❤️

[Molly Altmyer @AltmyerMolly]

@_AmandioDias @Gianniparda27 @EricTopol @MarcSantoraNYT @RaphaelMinder @OurWorldInData I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for your insight.

As an MD & epidemiologist who closely follows COVID, knows & has contributed to COVID literature

As a daughter in a family who has known Nazi horrors

I’m appalled by comparisons of this regime with pandemic response

Inflammatory, unhelpful to the discourse, ultimately harmful

@_AmandioDias @Gianniparda27 @EricTopol @MarcSantoraNYT @RaphaelMinder @OurWorldInData I am an ICU nurse here, and I never know if someone has insurance or doesn’t. They get the same care as far as that goes, but I think the day to day and outpatient care is what’s affected the most. People will still get billed and have to pay for it but there’s aide (somewhat).

[Molly Altmyer @AltmyerMolly]

@_AmandioDias @Gianniparda27 @EricTopol @MarcSantoraNYT @RaphaelMinder @OurWorldInData I agree. I don’t understand how or why that is a thing. Sadly, it seems like our own citizens wouldn’t vote for a different healthcare system anyway. If it doesn’t affect them personally they really don’t care. That seems to be the mindset anyway.

[Molly Altmyer @AltmyerMolly]

@_AmandioDias @Gianniparda27 @EricTopol @MarcSantoraNYT @RaphaelMinder @OurWorldInData Amen! Always curious what outsiders looking in think about this mess over here. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Molly Altmyer @AltmyerMolly]

@Boavista_Ludwig @EricTopol @MarcSantoraNYT @RaphaelMinder @OurWorldInData You mean they don’t think their freedoms are being stripped from them?
