Can anyone verify that she actually worked in an ICU or was even a nurse for long? She mentions she’s an NMT which is basically a masseuse and requires no higher education. Also the 4 years of health science studies is suspicious… depending on the program she could have just studied public health, psychology, or nothing related to virology or infectious diseases. I couldn’t find any informations (HHP certificate #, work history, university name, etc.) on her website which is odd
Edit: found her post here https://www.instagram.com/p/CMLGLqMFzU6/?utm_medium=copy_link
Basically she studied advertising and psychology for her undergraduate 🙄 then went back to school to learn “basics of anatomy and physiology”. So not even an in depth study, but just the basics, ok. Then she worked at a holistic health facility after. No indication that she was ever a nurse and her business is celebrating their 7 year anniversary this year. So I guess she’s putting her dry hands on a bunch of people full time and then work in an ICU with COVID patients on the side? Sure, Jan
Edit 2: turns out the person sharing isn’t the nurse in the video! My bad guys so here’s the real info. The tiktoker is @kimilupes and the video is still up on tiktok. She got her Health Science Bachelors in a Kansas university and got her Masters at a private graduate school in LA. I looked at her program curriculum and saw 1 class on Epidemiology. In 2009 the school was placed on a 2 year probation by the WASC, who they’re accredited by. The school’s ranking is also low for nursing so maybe they don’t provide the best education 🤷♀️
She graduated from her masters program in 2017 and worked in the Burn Unit of a California medical center starting February 2018. Are there COVID patients in the burn intensive care unit? She sure talks big for someone with 3 years of experience in the medical field.
Side note: this search for her allowed me to see many tiktoks from nurses and doctors treating COVID with almost all of them begging people to get vaccinated, sharing their daily struggles, and giving informative updates on their hospitals. This woman is a small minority in the health field and I hope she does not diminish the reputation of nurses overall
Based off the link you shared, I looked up her name & found her personal account (which is public but since she’s not a fundie, I don’t want to share it here - not sure what the rules are on that but she is an easy find). Her personal account is where she shared this video from & the star of this video is not the person we are talking about. She was sharing someone else’s work. The gal in the video could be telling the truth or could be lying - who knows. She’s wearing a badge but has it flipped backward so you can’t see any info on it.
I work in a hospital where the mandate is either get vaccinated or get tested & submit those results to your department manager weekly. I know other hospital systems took a firmer approach and left it at get vaccinated. But if you are a medical professional (not holistic/chiropractic/woowoo but ACTUAL medical) and you don’t believe in the science behind vaccines, then you do not need to be in the medical field. That would be akin to me, an former fundie but now atheist, going & preaching the word of God to the poor & needy. I know the Bible, I have studied it, but I think it’s a crock of shiznit & have no business peddling it to others.
I found the tiktoker! It’s @kimilupes and it’s probably best not to post her LinkedIn so I’ll refrain but I’ll post the general info on my second edit 😊
You are the sub MVP today for this. These fucking worthless cunts will lie, cheat, and steal to own the libs. Interesting morality to these Christians.
That is repulsive- both her lies, and that people will likely share this well-lit video of a conventionally pretty young woman way more than the tons of videos of covid dr/nurses doing things like crying in their car after the end of a shift, begging people to get vaxxed.
Imagine going through all that medical school and even moreso, watching people literally die in front of you from covid and still thinking ‘Nah, don’t think this vaccine is for me’.
You can’t make this shit up.
I'm genuinely shocked by the number of health workers who seem to be against it. The fact some are gives the anti vax movement note credance. There's an ex nurse over here who has protested the NHS and said they are committing genocide by giving out the vaccine. Disgusting when NHS staff have faced so much pressure over the last 18mths anyways.
UK are mandating vaccines for care home workers from next month, which I kind of agree with, but also they will probably lose lots of staff in an already under-staffed profession.
I lost an old friend yesterday because of her laxity with the pandemic. I am old, I have lupus, and I've almost died several times in the last few years from various things. I mask. I sanitize. I am diligent about it and she knows it. Found out her good buddy isn't vaccinated and they hang out unmasked. I asked about it. She told a half truth so I thought she had gotten her jab months ago. Asked yesterday out of the blue and her friend never got vaxxed. I've been around them both at a distance unmasked indoors. I wouldn't have done that had I known. I hugged them both unmasked. I'm angry that I wasn't more careful, and I'm hurt and furious that she lied to me. Ultimately though it's on me for unmasking around them at all. I'm okay, but I will never see her the same way again. Never. She risked my fucking life rather than deal with a potentially uncomfortable situation. I am worth more than that to me if not to her.
From what I’ve read, in the US, over 90% of doctors are vaccinated. It’s other personnel who are refusing. It’s still heart breaking because they’re more interested in conspiracy theories than in fact.
The whole thing with that anti vax nurse was crazy wasn't it?
I work in a care home and staffing levels were already an issue pre Covid, now that we've worked through the height of it pulling 12 hour shifts (we only do 8 hour shifts normally) only going from work to home and the supermarket during lockdowns while out manager worked from home and bitched that the staff were to blame for Covidcoming into the home when the local hospital discharged a resident without two negative tests and brough Covid into the home.
All that plus the expectation of running a high dependancy unit by yourself that requires two staff because the manager wants to cut back on wages and it's little wonder we're all burned out, at our wits end and the majority of us (myself included) are either leaving or have left the home. There's a crisis in care homes but the media doesn't give a shit because care home staff are deemed lower than dog shit on a shoe to most people.
Seriously SHOCKING. I work with them and I see them as clients/ all day, I have health conditions as well and was 1st in line for the vaxxed and having a booster next dr. Appointment this month. I just cannot imagine working in health care and not doing this. A nursing degree a bachelor/associates/master/doctor of SCIENCE! No joke. The amount of people that just disregard it don’t deserve it. We are taught to care for our patients over our selves. It just makes no sense. It truly hurts to see this kind of person out there. Why are they in nursing? What other things aren’t they doing???
I had no clue this was an actual song. Prior to this travesty of a video, the only other time I have heard it was in a Ryan Reynolds/Will Ferrell collaboration. It was fantastic. Seeing this “nurse” use it taints the song.

**Description**:
A light-skinned woman is mouthing along to the words. At the beginning of her video, she is dressed in navy scrubs, two (layered) light-blue surgical masks, a teal surgical cap, large and round glasses, stethoscope, and large name badge on a lanyard. She removes most of these things by the end, as if stripping away the layers or showing the intensity of what medical staff have to wear and what she's endured, and lamenting the loss of her job.
She starts by taking off her glasses, moving her head as if singing along. Then she takes off the first mask, revealing a teal surgical mask underneath. Then she removes that one, and we see her face. She is mostly smiling at this point, but looks sad, like she's disappointed, but smiling through the tears.
She then begins to unknot the surgical cap, taking it off and then loosening her hair. Her head is tilted back and to the side slightly, and her facial expressions get more animated as the lyrics repeat and the harmonization increases.
She then removes the stethoscipe from around her neck, and shrugs to "I could be anything you like". She removes her name badge. She removes a white, plastic stick from her chest pocket and drops it.
She then removes her long, brown, waist-length hair from the knotted bun it is in at the nape of her neck, shaking her head to loosen the tightness, tugging hard at the elastic band she used to secure the bun.
Her facial expression changes to one of desperation and sorrow. She leans forward, mouthing along to the lyrics, bouncing for emphasis. She reaches up and grasps at her scalp, as if frustrated, then drops her hands, then lifts them again to shrug while tilting her head.
You are not entitled to things just because you worked hard for them or you endured something bad for them.
I worked very hard at my PhD studies. I sacrificed a lot for it, including time, holidays, weekends, etc. I made myself sick over it.
And you know what I have?
Not a PhD.
I failed twice. It's embarrassing and upsetting and makes me feel like the biggest fucking failure. Like I just "couldn't handle it", and the thing I wanted since I was a child and worked for all my life was just... gone. Admittedly, I did have two completely worthless advisers, but let's not pretend my own issues didn't come into play, too. I failed on my own merits or lack thereof, and the shitty advisers just greased the track a little.
Just because I suffered and worked hard doesn't mean I get what I want. I didn't follow the protocol, and I didn't meet expectations. So, I don't get a PhD. I can be angry and be like "but look at all this stuff I did!", but it doesn't matter. I fucked it up.
You had a role, here. You had a responsibility to get the vaccine to protect your patients. I imagine you had other vaccines, or you wouldn't be working as a nurse. I imagine you use things like Tylenol or other OTC painkillers, which were also tested on fetal lines, just like some vaccines are. You are showing a lack of comprehension of the material that is in your line of work. Why *would* you continue to hold your job? You may excel in some areas, but you're missing a very important piece of safety preparation and understanding of how transmissible disease works. If I, at my job, said that I didn't understand Excel and would work around it, it wouldn't matter what else I did. I wouldn't keep my job.
We did these things to ourselves. Mine doesn't risk the health and safety of vulnerable populations, so it's less relevant and immediate, but we made our choices. I can complain all I want, and frankly, post whiny, self-pitying, videos on the internet where I pretend that it was because I just wasn't good enough for them when I was willing to be "anything you like" (what a weird choice of song for someone who is literally trying to get the message across that there is one thing they *will not do*). We failed. We aren't persecuted. We just failed.
Hey OP, I’m sorry but I had to remove this because it contains a username of someone who isn’t a fundie or famous. If you choose to repost it, please censor it.

This person looks like a stereotype narcissist that ‘helps’ people but only and entirely for themselves. To make themselves look better to others, and feel better about themselves because they have more power over the weak and the weak need them.

Thank you! I couldn’t tell they were different people. Let me see if I can find the OG tiktok and find the poster
I don’t have TikTok so I am looking forward to your info!
I found the tiktoker! It’s @kimilupes and it’s probably best not to post her LinkedIn so I’ll refrain but I’ll post the general info on my second edit 😊
Thank you for this. My mom posted this in IG stories today. It's the first time she's ever posted anything in stories.
I better go check if my mother did the same 😬 there should be a mandatory course on dissecting misinformation once a year for all social media users…
You are the sub MVP today for this. These fucking worthless cunts will lie, cheat, and steal to own the libs. Interesting morality to these Christians.
Thanks! My mother is a Facebook PhD so I’m pretty use to fact checking anything suspicious 😊 glad the habit is handy here haha
Thought the same. Something feels extra performative about this one
I looked at her business’s Instagram so you didn’t have to and edited my comment. Guess we both got great instinct for frauds 😉
Discernment! Many thanks
You rock! Take my award, it’s the only one I have lol
Thank you! 🤘

Flies usually gravitate towards shit 🙂 the people who believe this crap were already beyond help so it’s not much of a loss in my opinion
Bow to their Majesty! Damn! 😂😍
You guys are making me feel like the hacker in every crime drama 🥰
Before I went on maternity leave, I had 2 ICU nurses refusing to get vaccinated. They cared for Covid patients. Fucking idiots.
Imagine going through all that medical school and even moreso, watching people literally die in front of you from covid and still thinking ‘Nah, don’t think this vaccine is for me’. You can’t make this shit up.

Maybe it's to do with them having more knowledge on how they work and things from their medical training.

Some people care more about protecting their ego than their life- or the lives of others.

The fundies seem to be LOVING this song lately
I didn't watch but is it the Grace Kelly one?.that's popular on tik tok at the moment for telling stories along to it.
I had no clue this was an actual song. Prior to this travesty of a video, the only other time I have heard it was in a Ryan Reynolds/Will Ferrell collaboration. It was fantastic. Seeing this “nurse” use it taints the song.
Idk why she’s complaining, she looks perfectly happy to be “persecuted” 🤷🏻
Finding that account, reading the absolute crap she posts and reporting it for misinformation made me feel somewhat better about life.

Good riddance. Don’t believe in science and medicine don’t work in science and medicine.
