    Small exposure?! What a whimp. Bro I’m virus maxxing. I get blood infusions from my sick homies and than let them throw up in my mouth.

    I’m so sick now bro, you can’t handle this. Im going to be immune to everything, viruses can’t infect dead organs.

    Or! How about we all just act like adults and do what’s best for each other?

    My daughter had a dermatological reaction to a vaccine. But no way in hell do I want her to have measles or any other preventable disease.

      I have patients all the time who go on and on about how this or that plastic or adhesive or plastic we have in supply smells bad or irritates their skin. I had raised itchy bumps in the exact shape of the EKG electrode pads for over a week after my ED visit for a panic attack with severe chest pain and shortness of breath and the main thing I regret about that visit is the bill.

      If I’m putting EKG leads or a tegaderm on you you’ve got way bigger problems than a rash my dude. And if your problem actually is unserious or alternately terminal enough that it’s more comfortable for you to just suffer in the comfort of your own bed, then just do that. If your problem is benign enough that you can even be worried about a rash more than you are worried about dying painfully from whatever you’re there for, you’re probably lucky enough to have a problem you can handle in the comfort of your own home.

      And I’m even talking about serious chronic and terminal disorders. Everybody dies. If you are able to make the decision that you value spending the time given to you on earth in comfort rather than fighting through medical treatments to maybe get more of it then I encourage you to actively choose comfort for yourself. Don’t spend what time you’re given on this earth waffling back and forth between trying to get invasive treatment vs trying to be comfortable and bitching at other people the whole way down trying to make them as miserable as you just because they literally cannot by the physical rules of the universe provide both to you at the same time.

      And ffs get a palliative consult. It’s not hospice and you don’t need to be actively on the way out to get it. You can do it at any time. And they’ll make you way more comfortable than you’ll ever get from complaining about adhesives.

    So here’s something that boggles my mind a bit here. So these idiots have been talking about how the COVID vaccine was dangerous, unproven, and untested and that COVID was a bio-weapon from China, established fact with these people.

    Right now quite a few of my more MAGA in-laws are straight up shooting untested, unproven, unverified peptides from China and going on about how it’s the best thing ever.

    It’s American stupidity at its finest here.

      It’s so frustrating. If covid was a chinese bio-weapon wouldn’t you want the vaccine?

      Would you rather have the untested vaccine, or the untested virus?

    That’s very old idea.

    What if we take a sample of your blood along with sample of virus from your body and use AI to calculate how to genetically modify your leukocytes so they start fighting diseases you have ? Then we will bio print this messenger rna and inject to your body in hope this will cure you.

    As a pharmacy worker who is under a lot of pressure to push vaccines hard (and happy to oblige), I’m always so tempted to hand out a printout of this study showing that republicans died more from covid than democratics after the covid vaccines started coming out.

    I’m sure y’all must feel a lot of self-satisfaction behind that smug smile every time you get the chance to reject the offers, but seriously… you’re just hurting yourselves. It’s like dealing with children.

      I just view that as natural selection doing its thing. If they want to kill themselves by following what con men say, well, that’s no problem for me. But their bad choices hurt their kids and others.

        If it were natural selection then killing their kids would be a feature, not a bug. But there’s no biological determinism that makes them hold the beliefs they do. They were taught to be this way, indoctrinated in many cases.

    Got an MMR booster recently. Doctor told me it was a live vaccine and that I’d feel a bit off while my body fought it.
    First thing I did when someone asked how the doctors visit went was to respond with “Well, I have measles…”

    They’re used to my bullshit, so they didn’t believe me!
