As a Bioethics professor, I will make this required reading for all my classes. Nurses have become progressively more skeptical of this new political tilt of young, what they see as, dangerously naive doctors. The schism between common sense nurses and politicized doctors is widening. Thankfully!

"Common sense" nurses? Shouldn't nurses be using their training and expertise? "Common sense" has become shorthand for "an expert says something I disagree with, so I'm going to call my lack of expertise 'common sense' so I don't have to change my behavior".
If you had spent even 20 minutes speaking with an experienced nurse, you would never have written this. One of the primary obligations of a professional nurse is patient advocacy. Not so for politically motivated research MD's. If you cannot recognize the smell of C-dif when you walk in a room, you really do not know ....
Publicly cited "experts" have been disastrously wrong on nearly every major issue of the last several years. The word "expert" has totally lost its credibility and is mostly used by lazy journalists that don't want to go into detail or explain any other viewpoints or cite real sources.
But as somebody who was ahead of the CDC by several months on nearly every pandemic policy they eventually figured out, and who realizes the epic damages wrought on this nation by "experts", screw the experts. Authoritarian stupidity has infected this entire country and our inept leaders get away with it because "experts say!"
And they don't admit or learn when they're wrong, they're much too "expert" for that.
Thank you! My daughter is a public health major at Purdue. I would love for her professors to have this information and disseminate it to the students. IтАЩd like to send it to the department head
Jim, I'm sure that you are aware of the very political academic nurses who inculcate their students with a lot of left wing views. Nurses, like the rest of us, are extremely political, and the nursing professors, like education professors, are way out there on the AOC and Warren wings of socialism.
Nursing professors are definitely far on the unreasonable left, but that is because they feel like they have to pretend to be MD's. They seem to think if they are extreme leftists that gives them the same social status as being a real medical doctor. But real nurses, those who keep real people alive every single day, those who are the true compassionate care givers of the sick and the elderly and the dying, they are not the same as the envious wannabe doctors who teach nurses.
Maryland passed a law in the 90's making it illegal to present yourself in a medical setting as Doctor unless you are a physician for exactly that reason - a nursing school professor introducing herself to a VIP patient as Doctor. The VIP patient found out shortly thereafter that she was not one of his physicians, and he took it all the way to the governor. I've always thought teachers should be Professor, and it is nowhere more vital than in a hospital.
My sister is a doctor, and in the last two years her personality and politics have totally transformed. She loves diversity now and thinks Fox News is the only reason people refused the ineffective and deadly vaccines.
You should get the book, Take Two Aspirin and Call Me by My Pronouns, but Stanley Goldfarb, MD, for her. It dives into the shift of American medical education from patient care to social justice.
She may inadvertently be right about the impact of Fox News. Has any other network raised concerns about the rushed, experimental, ineffective and potentially dangerous vaccines? When I hear people criticize Fox News I ask if they have ever watched it.
They didnтАЩt raise concerns at first though. They were all on board. My hesitation came from my own gut feeling then was solidified by a now infamous Dark Horse podcast
Fox News had an impact, I agree, but my own opinion came from reading the abstracts of the initial studies on the vaccines. From day one, it was clear that they didn't prevent contagion or transmission, and clear that they only provided weak and temporary protection.
My sister absolutely refuses to discuss this. Not a single word of criticism of Fauci or the vaccines is acceptable. The science is irrelevant, the healthcare administrators are god.
Me too. Plus decades of procedures regarding vaccine safety was either unnecessary in the past or wholly disregarded for the Covid vaccine. And the conflicts of interest are staggering.

That is a terrible sad statement about the brainwashing going on.

I might though!
I wish she would read it but there is no chance of that happening.
Her recent residency placement was....quite prestigious, and you do not succeed in that context without supporting the state religion.

I'm in private practice and am currently telling patients who ask, no, I am not getting a booster.
