It’s apparent you don’t respect nurses and the medical training they have gone through to get there. I think that’s funny, coming from a janitor who cleans urinals in a hospital. How many years did it take you to get your bachelor in latrine science? I’m guessing the next time you’re hospitalized that you’ll have your fellow janitors administer your meds and see to your needs? It would be very hypocritical of you to allow just a lowly, ignorant nurse to aid you. My wife’s an RN, and she loves patients like you. After all, it’s nurses that decide how big the needle is for the meds you get, and how long it takes for the pain meds to be brought to you. You have an overgrown inflation of your worth to society. Me, I prefer nurses over urinal specialists any day.

I've been told by a few that they won't take the vaccinations because of the potential damage it may do in the long run but I took it because at the age of 76 I don't have a long run left.😁 Any vaccination can be harmful to certain persons and the harmful effects should certainly be documented.


I'm 75 and agree with you all the way. I'd rather die tomorrow than risk infecting one of my grandchildren with the Covid virus. Or yours, for that matter. At my age long term consequences are not a big concern to me when compared to other possibilities.

I wonder if all communities also remember:
The Polio Vaccine
The Pneumonia vaccine
The Whooping cough vaccine
The Measles vaccine
The Mumps vaccine
The Tetanus vaccine (ever had a tetanus shot after stepping on a nail?)
The Hepatitis vaccine
The Meningitis vaccine
The Shingles vaccine
The Small pox vaccine
The Chicken pox vaccine
The Flu vaccine

Although it's beyond my comprehension I understand that our immunologists are currently working on vaccines that will prevent most cancers. Here's a question.....if you thought there was a vaccine that would prevent your wife from breast cancer or your son from prostate cancer.....would you want them to take a risk?

I would want them to make that decision on their own, but only after apprising themselves of every bit of knowledge and data available at the time. After having seen a sister-in-law suffer with, and die of, breast cancer my vote would be to take the vaccine and I think any reasonable person would come to the same conclusion.

You appear to be trying to make a point, but I'll be damned if I know what it is.


Republicans are mainly the ones being accused of shunning the vaccine. My point is Blacks who vote Democrat 90-10 are right alongside them. Draw your own conclusions.

Yes, it has to be a personal decision but I also think it has a lot to do with age and experience. I'm sorry for the loss of your sister-in-law.

I honestly dont know, and I honestly dont know if I would.
The older vaccines that you mentioned I took most if not all of those in the 60’s/70’s.
But that was a period in time where our govt. cared a bit more I do believe.
As far as COVID vax with my current medical condition because of the protien spikes. Makes me apprehensive about taking it. Also the lengths they are going to to get people to take the shot is a bit suspect. Come on a strip club in Vegas giving incentives to take the vax lol really.
Lotteries giving away donuts guns.
I do a lot to boost my immune system.
Transfer Factor Plus Immuzist zinc D3.
As far as a vax that might prevent breast cancer and prostate cancer. I cannot honestly say if I would be in favor.
I will wait and see the numbers for me just dont add up.
Honestly I think my wife may have had it. She had something this winter past that wiped her out. She was down for a few days after visiting a friend who had it me nothing at all

Hey....I respect your decision to not get the vaccine and you certainly don't owe me any explanation. What bothers me is when someone takes an attitude that their opinion is the only acceptable one for all people. I did get the vaccine because that best suited my needs.
I also agree with you about the "bribery" thing. That's flat out nuts!

Mutual respect and you did what you thought was best for you everyone has a right to make their own choice.
The bribery makes it all suspect….

Given the hyperbolic language of this opinion piece...I seriously doubt the veracity of its point.



Are nurses the ones who decide what to record as the cause of a problem...I think the doctors make those decisions.

Houston Methodist did just lay off quite a few employees who refused to comply with their vax requirements.

Just look at where the hospital is located, in a red state which still supports trump who kept the information about how deadly the Coronavirus was from the residents of the United States.

It was trump who failed to set an example of wearing face masks during the Pandemic, then dramatically ripping off his face mask upon climbing the White House stairs after he was released from Walter Reed for his Coronavirus treatment. Remember that trump's case was a lot more serious than his staff let on. He was a prime candidate to be put on a ventilator, but ended up with an early stage experimental treatment instead.

It was trump who hid the fact that he was vaccinated in secret before he left office.

But the last laugh is on those hospital workers, because a Federal Judge dismissed their case, siding with the hospital on mandating vaccinations as a stipulation to remain employed by the hospital.

What the heck are you blabbering about?

Go back and carefully read the original post you responded to.

I believe that you totally misunderstood what it said in your off the wall response.
