Kansas nurses refuse to give COVID-19 vaccines
Coffee County in Kansas has roughly 8,500 residents, but they won't be getting their COVID-19 shots from the county health department's four nurses. Department chief Lindsay Payer and her staffers have opted out of giving the injections because they have doubts about the safety of the Moderna vaccine, which the county is offering, local TV station WIBW reported.
FUCK YOU FUCK YOUR MASK FUCK YOUR VACCINE
ReplyDeleteThen they need to be fired.
ReplyDeleteThey are not doctors or pharmacists or immunologists.
They cannot give an expert opinion because they are not experts.
You just gave your option Karen.
DeleteWho are you this vaccine is Not safe all Liberals need to take this Vaccine
DeleteGo flip burgers, bitches.
ReplyDeleteThey are refusing to do harm. That's their job.
ReplyDeleteIf you insist that you need a shot to feel better about yourself go see the county and they will give you one.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't safe. It is a DNA altering experiment.
ReplyDeleteCoffey County is paying these slugs for refusing to do their job.
ReplyDeleteWhere do I apply?
ReplyDeleteGood for them! They are brave. They will take backlash, even death threats for this.

ReplyDelete"It isn't safe"
Neither are you, you freakin' lunatic.
How do you know that it's not safe?
("I read it on the internet, that's how"!)
The science says this vaccine is safe. These are obviously not scientists. Nursing jobs in that area must be plentiful because if I were the Health director and these four worked of me, they would be terminated.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting backstory on this...
ReplyDeleteIn March/ April a Coffey County nursing home had a large cluster outbreak in the Life Care Center Burlington nursing home. This was one of the first big clusters in the midwest.
*The cluster led to 64 cases with 7 deaths in a tiny county. Payor was a spokesperson regarding the situation.
*The covid response team (I believe the same nurses who won’t administer the “new technology” were honored at one of the council meetings this fall. In the picture they are standing together without masks or social distancing.
* November, the county commissioners voted against the mask mandate - against the recommendation of their long time health director, who then resigned. https://www.thedailybeast.com/they-voted-down-masks-so-this-small-town-doctor-in-coffey-county-kansas-quit
My understanding is that the Health Director left the call after he made the recommendation, and the county attorney convinced the councilmen that the mask ordinance would cause too much work for the attny to enforce.

ReplyDeleteIt's pathetic the way everyone thinks they can fact check the scientists.
ReplyDeleteThese "nurses" should be immediately fired.
...let the people who get the shots make up their minds to get it or not...med. staff do what their told...it's up to 'shotee' not the shooter.
