et tu Justice Brett Kavanaugh? et tu? SCOTUS decision a catastrophic mess for health care employees (workplace that get medicare & medicaid funds); will cause doctors and nurses to quit/laid off
This ruling makes no sense; why not allow for daily testing? what about COVID-recovered status? Nurses have natural immunity developed over the last 2 years; natural immunity is superior to vax
Who gets the Jackass award this week? This 5:4 decision is so very important and is a disaster and we knew Roberts would vote with the nut balls, but et tu Brett?
This will cause good honest hard working nurses and doctors to lose their jobs. Nurses especially, who have carried the load for the last 2 years while elites and the ‘café latte’, ‘laptop’, ‘pinky in the air as you sip your coffee’ class and television medical experts and faceless technocrats hid in their basements on zoom.
Does pusillanimous Brett and John “eunuch” Roberts not understand that nurses etc. have rights, constitutional rights like any others?
Look, let me say it this way. What is it that these idiots don’t get about natural immunity and that nurses or doctors who have recovered from COVID are naturally immune and are as immune if not more than vaccinated nurses who are harboring virus and spreading it and after a month has NO immunity? Why can’t these nurses exercise their natural immunity? These justices on the left and I include Roberts, have a combined IQ of 4. I never knew Justices were so dumb as a box of rocks…Brett, Brett, ah Brett….I will leave it right there and you know most of my communication occurs in the white spaces between letters…in these white spaces you will find what I really think of Brett…
But several issues are glaring and it surrounds why not allow nurses and doctors etc. to test daily or weekly or the like? why not recognize their natural immunity? they are actually safer to care for your loved ones than a purely vaccinated nurse. We have potent research in Ho Chi Minh city Vietnam, Israel, and Finland showing that double vaccinated nurses get infected, harbor massive viral loads, evidence low cycle count thresholds of the PCR test, and can potentially transmit virus to others including patients, and even when wearing PPE and masks…
For example, Chau et al. looked at transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant among vaccinated healthcare workers in Vietnams. Of 69 healthcare workers that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, 62 participated in the clinical study, all of whom recovered. For 23 of them, complete-genome sequences were obtained, and all belonged to the Delta variant. “Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020”.
Reporting on a nosocomial hospital outbreak in Finland, Hetemäki et al. observed that “both symptomatic and asymptomatic infections were found among vaccinated health care workers, and secondary transmission occurred from those with symptomatic infections despite use of personal protective equipment.”
In a hospital outbreak investigation in Israel, Shitrit et al. observed “high transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant among twice vaccinated and masked individuals.” They added that “this suggests some waning of immunity, albeit still providing protection for individuals without comorbidities.”
But this is all so insane for we hear that COVID infected personnel can stay in work given staff shortages. So let me see if I understand this correctly…give me a minute here to get up from off the floor and to stop ripping hair out of my head…
You are telling me that COVID infected nurses can stay at work and they can infect staff and patients, while naturally immune nurses who do not want a vaccine, can be laid off even though he or she is safer in terms of spreading virus??? Did Roberts and Brett not understand that with rapidly waning vaccinal immunity, that the vaccinated nurse after 1-2 months is far worse immunologically, than the COVID recovered nurse? Who decided this BS, LeBron James? Or VP Kamala Harris? I cannot decide who is more insipid at times yet either will do illustratively. The level of idiocy is shocking and Brett Kavanaugh deserves the Jackass award this week.
I would now advise people to simply stay out of the hospital. Hospital care in the USA has bordered on complete negligence since I nursed in the 70’s. Since then, family members, who are nurses advised me how horrible things actually were on hospital floors. This scotus will be responsible for patient neglect to become the standard of care. Congratulations you idiots. Again, stay out of hospitals if you are able. They have just become even more dangerous.
For decades, the best law students joined firms that made the most money. Law students with a "C" average went into the DA's office. Those who were politically connected became judges. SCOTUS is the epitome of this. There is no Oliver Wendell Holmes on the bench, nor will there be. It's all political. Just ask President Al Gore, who had about the shortest term in history and lost the election 5-4. Lawyers prescribing medical treatment is not exactly the best idea, especially with jackasses like Brett Cavanaugh on the bench.
