@blaze_dog @RyanKno67616640 @NateSilver538 With all due respect the hospitals are absolutely broken. People are regularly dying because of an inability to get appropriate care because of lack of staffing. It's really really bad. Any increase in Covid will make it worse.

@pies_steve @rachbarnhart You are minimizing abusing kids. This kind of thing hurts victims. It has even led to people wasting CPS's time on this nonsense. You are hurting abused kids. Please don't. If you hate masks say that, don't use vulnerable kids pain. Do better.

@acweyand While I agree with you on mandates I think of the issue is that patient after often isn't the first priority and workers are often treated as disposable. Which makes it hard to get buy in from understaffed nurses.

@pies_steve @rachbarnhart Minimizing child abuse is horrifying please don't be that person.

@EmmaCrockerDNP @MurseWordsworth This is exactly the description I give people. I'm an amazing nurse to four patients, a good nurse to five, and a kind of lousy one to six. It only gets worse from there. Also with more patients we lose the ability to help each other.

People are out here justifying not getting vaccinated by asking others if they trust their immune systems. Like??? I don’t trust my immune system. That bitch saw my thyroid and decided it was an unnecessary organ. She sees dust and decides the best reaction is death.

@L_O_A_Manifest @News_8 Much like no one dies of cancer. They just die when their organs stop working because of all the cancer cells.

🧵 Why some vaccines stop transmission & others don’t:

Vaccines that stop transmission are often against viruses that replicate internally first and only then transmit (like measles). So if the vaccine stops internal replication, it stops transmission.

For COVID vaccines…

South Africa is in my blood, my parents are from there.

For me, there is tremendous pride not just in how quickly SA scientists turned this data around, but in their transparency releasing to the world knowing the reaction would be harsh.

There is much good in this world

Let’s stop overthinking genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Hormonally speaking, all postmenopausal women will experience it, most feel it. First choice should be vaginal estrogen in 99% of cases. Thanks. RT if you agree. #menopause #gsm #menopausematters

Honestly this rule has always just struck me as pointlessly cruel.

@realQrampage Thank you! This infuriated me. If they are in the hospital all the time doesn't it suggest that we aren't really helping them with their issues and maybe we should look for different ways to care for them rather then just discharging them over and over?

I once saw a med student ask a patient if they were experiencing any “paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea or orthopnea”. I wonder if this is him.

@shesinscrubs The frustrating part to me is that nurses did refuse to treat AIDS patients. Her whitewashed of LGBTQ pain in the service of being anti-vaccine is disturbing.

Did you hear vaccinated people with Delta “have just as much virus in their nose so are just as infectious as unvaccinated”?

Turns out vaccinated people have significantly less culturable virus present at the same Ct count

They are LESS INFECTIOUS 💥

@kjdelay1 Better pay, security that responds to work place violence in a timely way, administration that takes violence seriously, safe staffing rations, fair pay for techs and other support staff.

“We should be treating authorizations of COVID vaccines for children with the same urgency that we have been treating COVID vaccines all along.” @AAPPres discusses rising COVID-19 cases in children and safely returning to school in @mitchellreports. https://t.co/j2Al9GkNuW

The most important facts for you to remember today:

Less than 0.001% of those fully vaccinated have had a fatal breakthrough case.

Less than 0.004% of those fully vaccinated have been hospitalIzed.

The vaccines work.

The vaccines are your best protection from the virus.
