Your COVID vaccine booster might be a patch or a pill. Or it might come with your flu shot.

While the Biden administration has been racing to maximize the number of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, government researchers have also been working on what form the next generation of vaccines will take.

They may be combined with the seasonal flu vaccine, or could come in the form of pills or patches instead of shots. Scientists also envision vaccines that might shield against viruses beyond SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) that could avert future pandemics.

And they're evaluating whether those who are fully vaccinated might need booster shots later this year.

The lies from the 'medical community', both at large and right here on good old FR, have convinced me into becoming a full time anti-vax conspiracy factist.

Those derps at the top of the food chain that are manipulating everything do NOT have the people's best interests at heart and are not to be trusted.

If you ARE going to go full anti-vax, then here's a quote from one of the leaders of that movement, which the Branch Covidians love to beat on.

I don't necessarily endorse it; but I *am* beginning to raise an eyebrow, solely because of the ferocity with which these new jabs are being pushed; and the article in Nature by the Baylor MD linking "anti-vaxxers" both to Russian propaganda and to "right wing extremists who spread disinformation about the 2020 election." That might as well have come from Nancy Pelosi. That "Russian disinformation" is a mixed bag when you come to the Kennedy family ; JFK did the Cuban Missle Crisis but then you had Uncle Ted the Swimmer asking the Politburo how he could help them into getting US missiles removed from Europe under Reagan.

I feel dumber.

That is the proper medical evaluation. See? your male nurse credentials finally pay off.

The experimental vaccines are proving to be dangerous. There are normally a couple hundred deaths a year relating to vaccinations, but this year there are thousands with far more suffering very serious life threatening and debillitating side effects. If you already have developed antibodies to Covid there is absolutely no good reason to get them. If the experimental vaccines were safe there would be no reason to shut down free speech and dump all of this propoganda on the public. And even people on this forum are going along with it. I never believed that it would come to this. But it is very very scary.

Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their level of competence.

Ooo, nice takedown Fireman.

My takeaway? Firemen are smarter than male nurses.

Does the vaccine wear off and your immune system return to normal? Does the override stop at some point? Is this permanent?

If we had treated covid as we have previous viruses - no shut downs, masks, social distancing - and attained immunity within 2 months, would there be this threat of “mutants?”

Interestingly, back in the day, the Soviet Union did everything they could to defeat the United States. Much of their program is still felt today, with the rise of the 'social justice warriors'. They did a lot to influence American thinking and the degradation of our culture.

But today, the new Russia is in league with Trumpian America in the fight against the monolithic derp state. And the derps have turned on Russia and gotten into bed with China, wh is the true enemy, along with the derps.

The Russians, like Trump (and me), are purely nationalistic and reject the derps' globalist aspirations.

This is why you see every derp state ill attributed to Russia. BY THE DERP STATE itself.

Its an amazing game to watch, if you know what you're looking at.

I owe my new, corrected vision to Q.

The rest of us will catch up eventually. Or not.

For a lifetime I was disgusted with every single member of the Kennedy clan—until Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

I guess there always can be a diamond in the rough...

I have known lots of male nurses, some of them are good like the little asian guy at my doctors office, but others are full of themselves and not so good. My wife is a retired nurse and department head; she would tell you the same thing.

We knew one male nurse very well who was extremely outspoken and reminds me of someone else we are now familiar with...

My crew and I showed up on a hospice case who was on O2 and having difficulty breathing. The guy we knew greeted us at the door and started giving us a long winded report. Nurses have much more training than EMTs (emergency medical techinician) so we listened intently for useful info. While he droned on we put the patient on an O2 rebreather mask and he immediately was no longer having any issues.

So one of my crew members picked up his O2 canula (tube that goes to a person’s nose) and noticed there was no oxygen coming out of it. He thought maybe the line was kinked and he followed it back to the tank. The guage on the regulator showed that it had no pressure. We thought that maybe the tank needed to be changed, but I asked my crew member to check to see if the valve on the tank was opened. It wasn’t. This guy who we knew who was always telling us stories about how everyone else in the world was an idiot except for him hadn’t bothered to check if his patient who was on O2 was actually getting any before calling 911 for his patient who was having difficulty breathing.

Beat me to it.

Whooping Cough too. Needed one to be around Grandchildren.

And HIB needs boosters too.

“We knew one male nurse very well who was extremely outspoken and reminds me of someone else we are now familiar with...”

I’m envious that you actually saw the same one twice. We always get “not my wing, not my patient, I don’t know what their medical history is, how could they have decomposed, I just talked with them 15 minutes ago...”

[fireman15]

I'm envious that you actually saw the same one twice.

This was actually someone that we knew outside of work. I knew from his stories of his incredible feats of nursing that he was a “hospice nurse” but had never seen him in action previously.

[Jane Long]

Can we get the opinion of the janitor that cleans up in there?

Could very well be who you’re posting to.

😂😂

Not that there’s anything wrong with that job. It just doesn’t make one a “medical” *expert*.

[David Chase]

I was a firefighter before going into the EMS Division of the Fire Department.

Get my resume right!

[David Chase]

I’m not a nurse.
Bagster has fantasies about male nurses, so excuse him.

I’m a Firefighter/Paramedic.

You sound like an LT. ?

[fireman15]

I'm not a nurse. Bagster has fantasies about male nurses, so excuse him.

The only one being referred to as a nurse in this conversation that I was aware of was “RC one”. I read through your recent posting history to try and figure out why you think that you were the one being referred to, must have missed the one that led you to that conclusion. I have enjoyed what you have written.

Yes, I am a retired fire officer.

[Mears]

That I can’t answer....the titer thing.
