Another Michigan Registered Nurse/Anti-vaxxer dead of Covid

Naturally, the family has scrubbed her Face Book page, but not before Vaxman of 'sorryantivaxxers.com' got some screen shots. A side story is, this woman drove for 3 hours, with her sons, from Comstock Park, near Grand Rapids, to an allergist in Cadillac, MI who would give them vaccination exemption cards. Oh, her daughter is a nurse (no idea on her vaccination stance) and this woman lost a good friend to Covid-19. Add to that, this nurse had co-morbidities, including several autoimmune diseases, and getting vaccinated was recommended, despite these conditions.

Her last FB post is heart breaking and the situation it addresses was so easily preventable. She died, yesterday. Hopefully her family has had a change of mind about vaccinations.

Some other people who got to her FB page, before it was scrubbed, said it was chocked full of some pretty awful stuff.

Hopefully this will start to shine some light on that "physician" who gave her sons the vaccine exemption documents. She said he spent 15 minutes lecturing them on the danger of the vaccine and how no job was worth keeping if it meant getting it.

I thought about checking the daughter's page, but it looked like she was still working. Besides, no doubt it's probably been locked down.

If you know this little about medicine and vaccines -- how the hell did she pass her nursing classes and licensing exams.

I hope that every patient that she exposed sues her family and that they are impoverished for generations to come over her selfish and wanton disregard for human life.

Sometimes, I wish that the real world had a Jack McCoy type prosecutor who would charge these people with man-1 or murder-2 for depraved indifference to human life.

I am so sick of these people.

Well, except for avoiding a totally preventable death by getting a free vaccine.

These are people WHO SHOULD FUCKING KNOW BETTER. Yet they succumbed to the shit-posting quest for likes on Facebook, get their opinions flipped, and then suddenly go full on batshit crazy about this subject. The Facebook propaganda is as dangerous to your health as COVID is.

That being said, we aren’t epidemiologists, and I think if we don’t accept, or keep up with continuing education on a variety of topics, we can be prone to misinformation. Before Covid, I was shocked at the nurses who would get involved in MLM schemes or who thought the KETO diet was a good idea.

I don’t know any anti-vax nurses. I do know one who is pregnant, and didn’t want the booster. I know one who has terrible vaccine reactions, but got them anyway.

Every time I see one of these it makes me cringe, because it’s not knowledge that failed here, but the ability for logical thinking. It creeps me out.
