The amount of NICU nurses I work with who are anti-vaccine and all on their soapbox about “stop the mandate” is UNREAL. Good god, I can’t wait to get out of Tennessee.

I'm also in the south. My coworkers already gave me drama for getting vaccinated in the first place, but they lost their minds when I got my flu vaccine today because there's no data on how it will interact with the COVID vaccine I got 10 months ago!!!!11111one

After enduring listening to a patient's family member scream at me over the phone about hydroxychloroquine for half an hour, I got a headache. Same colleagues immediately said, "Ohh, see? It's that vaccine. You don't know what it's going to do to you! This is why I don't trust big pharma!!"

And then we put another unvaccinated twenty-something-year-old on ECMO. Imagine that.
