1. Goes to show you that just because you are a medical professional, you aren't necessarily smart

I honestly do not want anyone to die from COVID-19 or to suffer the disease and lasting effects. When someone who rails against vaccines gets it and dies, the only potentially positive effect is that idiots who are in the same boat, maybe see that they are playing with their own lives.

2. Too bad so sad.

Took all that training, all that effort, all that time, all that skill…and just tossed it in the biohazard disposal container.

3. This is the effects of cognitive dissonance. I see it all the time.

People who should know better, but have a hard time coming to terms w their narrative and a reality that doesn’t support it. They DON’T want to know. But there are consequences for their actions….and inactions. I hope that the super Magats in her world see this up close and a light bulb goes off in their heads. Even if they go silently in the night to get their vaccinations. Just freaking do it.

4. I wish I were a better person

And cared, but I don't . This is down to either you're a fucking moron, or you're not

5. I don't recall any anti-vaxxers for polio vaccinations

Nor is there a significant DPT, mumps, rubella, STD, zoster, or pneumonia anti-vaxx movement.

What gives? It's all about TFG?

11. The internet makes them stupid and it travels

I'm quite sure these anti vax idiots existed before, they just had no way to amplify the stupid without the interwebs,

RIP to the nurse.

14. The anti-vaxxer movement covers ALL the childhood vaccinations. You really need to read up...

In my opinion the movement is catastrophic. It predates Trump and has nothing to do with him.

Back when all those childhood diseases you mentioned were still prevalent, they were killing and crippling infants and children before everyone’s eyes. Nearly all parents were eager and grateful for the advances in science that saved their children. The exceptions were a tiny number of people whose religion forbade it.

Nowadays, just try talking to the mommies in their FB groups about the reality of these diseases, and see how fast you get blocked. It’s not that they lack intelligence, but they have swallowed a pack of lies and believe the lies fervently.

6. And she infected others

Thank God she died quickly before she could kill more.

7. Sounds like a joke

""Your contagious laugh and smile will truly be missed Liv. Until we meet again sweet girl."

8. Yea, contagious was probably not the best word to use

under the circumstances.

9. Like a trained mechanic shunning tools. Nt

10. She chose poorly based on lies and bullshit.

None of the vaccines use recombinant DNA technology. They use mRNA technology. They are not even remotely similar. I kind of wonder how she managed to get through Biology class, which is required in nursing school. The sad and scary thing is that she's far from the only one.

12. This the medical equalivant of the flat earther who killed himself,

Trying to launch himself into space.

Theres a reason that guy didnt work for NASA. It's the same reason anti-vax clinical staff should be required to get the damn shots or get fired. This woman essentially killed herself. She could have EASILY killed or injured others with her nonsense.

13. There are a lot of nurses and other healthcare professionals that

remain un-vaccinated. Vaccines really should be made mandatory for people working with patients.

[smirkymonkey]

15. I just cannot believe they would still allow her to be an ER nurse, or even work as a nurse at all

without being vaccinated. She was a huge health risk to her patients and was also subjecting the hospital to serious legal ramifications. The stupidity here is just overwhelming. I just hope that nobody she treated has become seriously ill with Covid.

What was everybody thinking?! The rights of an individual do not take precedence over the common good, especially when those people are uninformed and have no choice as to whether or not to be exposed to her or anyone else who is a threat to their health and well-being. She could have easily killed people who were immune compromised or elderly.
