    I love how something like this can reach the front page but if you take it just a little shuffle further and say that maybe, just maybe, it’s, ike, possible that some medical professionals are not infallible resources of knowledge and action, you’ll never hear the end about how much of a killer you are

      The trouble is that it’s a slippery slope between “some are not infallible” and “all doctors can’t be trusted”…

      Well, it’s not. It’s a dry, gentle gradient normal people can easily stand on, but then someone rolls out the slip n’ slide and we’ve been living with that for 4 years!

      I mean random nurses aren’t setting COVID policy. I have a family member who is a nurse and she still doesn’t even believe COVID is real… in 2024.

      My mother was a registered nurse and has her head on fairly straight, but she worked with plenty of nutso people.

      Being a part of the medical field does not automatically make you an expert in all things health related. In fact, it seems to give some of them a false sense of superiority.

      Not to mention that the hospital might just not provide them to their workers for such a trivial thing as a pandemic.

      Which IMO is the most likely situation given how some hospitals had nurses wear the same one-use mask for days during the pandemic
