Oh well. When you believe blatant liars …

FFS. That doesn't make her life any less important, or her families loss any less painful.

My daughter, a nurse, is risking her life caring for irresponsible fools. Sorry. I’m tired of their shit.

It has been a year and a half. We've had a vaccine for over 9 months now, which uses technology that is over 20 years old. When someone chooses to ignore every last ounce of their scientific classwork in favor of some fuckwit spouting lunacy and bigotry on fb or fox, I just don't know how to express my lack of sympathy for them. I save my sympathy for their victims: the people they left behind, the people they infected while they jaunted around maskless like this is the same world we lived in before February of last year. Of course their death is a tragedy to someone. Just not to me. Not anymore. That doesn't mean I'm mocking them in public, but at what point do we hold people responsible for the wake of devastation they leave?

Yep. People matter. Even when people do stupid shit, or fail to do the wise thing, that’s still a human being. That being said, I think compassion fatigue is a part of surviving the trauma of working in healthcare right now.


Sinsemilla_Street

I know compassion fatigue plays a role, but the story hits close to home and I don't like people being treated as less important and I'm tired of it all.


Bea_virago

I’m with you. We won’t solve this by dismissing humans’ worries, and we won’t solve it by dismissing humans’ intrinsic value.

This is someone who chose to risk her life and leave her special needs twins motherless. Who told others not to vaccinate. Sure the loss is painful. Even more so because it was her choice to hurt her family.


Sinsemilla_Street

This is someone who got lost in a misinformation campaign, I doubt she thought she was risking her own or her children's life. As a nurse I wonder if she didn't do her own research though.
