I have flu and COVID boosters every year, and don't understand why people get their knickers in a twist. They do because Pfizer is an experimental vaccine that didn't go through the normal regime of testing. People don't like being lab rats. I have the flu vaccine every year, so it's nothing against vaccinations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then, two Pfizer boosters. Have not had COVID since. Sacking you when you work as a nurse, with the potential to infect hundreds of people unvaccinated, seems eminently sensible to me. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurses, like doctors are Health Care Professionals (HCP's) by definition i.e. they care for people's health and they are professionals. You demonstrate a distinct lack of understanding of nurse training even 40 years ago we spent a lot of time in other places besides hospital to obtain our certification. You cannot have been working as a nurse during COVID outbreak if you did the certificate level training you are too old. What level of nurse do you claim to be? Probably an Auxiliary (care assistant), if at all. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, he appointed an oil industry executive as the Secretary of the Environment in 2016. No need to hurry, I had my Moderna booster in March. An annual event, just like a flu shot.

A vaccinated child can still carry the virus it means that the vaccinated child will be better able to fight the virus and will not have any symptoms worse than a common cold and mostly no symptoms at all. But the unvaccinated child will suffer the full effect of the virus, thus it is the unvaccinated child who would sicken and perhaps die. Sorry.. you missed that purpose of what was said in relation to your reply. The unvaccinated child would perhaps sicken and maybe die. It is possible. But my message was about the school forcing my kid to take a vaccine or grow up being uneducated. It was also about who joe blow is to tell me I must do that for their own childs safety.. When and if my child gets infected. It would not change another persons childs infection rate or severity. So why force a mandate about it when it should be the parents choice. My child has already gotten COVID 2 times from other school kids. Kids that were vaccinated but infected anyway. So i know for sure what i am talking about. I would not force a drug into my childs body that has no testing done on aging children who have not reached puberty yet. Because they do not know what drastic changes puberty will bring to a COVID vaccinated child yet. There is not enough testing done for this yet. As well, there are now many studies showing that side effects were hidden from being publicized. There are also many reports of delayed symptoms occurring from COVID vaccinated people. I am only saying about things read in news services around the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I have both been on this forum a long time. Surely you knew that I was living in Thailand for years? I suspect you know that nursing would not be a job available to farangs, even if I had wanted to be one in Thailand. Nurses are trained to know how to not infect patients, just as they are trained not to get infected by patients. It's basic nursing. Anyway, your point is pointless. As the vaccine does not prevent anyone becoming infected, vaccinated nurses would be as likely to be infected while looking after patients as a non vaccinated one. The vaccine mandate didn't just apply to nurses. It applied to loads of different situations. I was not allowed into a cinema without proof of vaccination, even though I might have been infected anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
