Public Shaming/Praise for Vaccine Decision?

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

The level of PPE been used does not offer any were near a 100% protection, indeed it can spread things. Most people have no or little training in removing and disposal of PPE and often this is the point they get infected.
I wonder did you answer the question, or just justify yourself. The best way to protect the people you work with is to not infect them (vaccine ) remember you are of no use to the people you can help if you are sick or dead.
Once again my world , actions has consequences, no where to run.

Nothing give 100% protection, not even the vaccine. 


Time perhaps to end this, be safe be well

I have been using PPE for over forty years. I have worked in critical care environments with organisms far more contagious and deadly than a corona virus. So where most people may be unaware of how PPE is used, worn, and disposed of, I not only know how to utilize PPE, I have assisted with writing the protocol for the same.

I am sorry if you did not find my response an sufficient answer to your question. As far as justifying myself, you will not like this answer either. No. I was not justifying myself, not to myself and not to you.

No one in America prior to the last couple of days have had the vaccine, outside of those in the trials. In the area were I live, we are not even on the list to receive the vaccines until maybe Spring. 

I did not stop seeing patients when COVID started, a lot of Forensic Nurses did. Since COVID started nine months ago, I have not infected any patients, so I think my measures, so far, have proven successful. 

How do I know I am not a silent carrier, and possibly infected one or more of my patient's? Because all patients are monitored and followed, for at a minimum of two weeks. 

Not because of COVID alone, but because there are a number of other infections that a patient may have contracted during an assault. Not one of my patients have had any symptoms or tested positive for COVID.

Unless that changes, I see no reason to risk my life or my health with this novel vaccine. 


This is not a justification. It is a sharing of information in response to your question.
