    ITU nurses are both incredible nurses and mostly better doctors than I am. If you're dying of sepsis and get the choice between an ITU nurse and any doctor below the grade of medical registrar to save you, choose the ITU nurse.

    NICU nurses are equally incredible and all the ones I've met were lovely until you do something without their permission to the baby they are looking after, at which point you will die.

    I've never worked in A and E.

    That's about it. Once covid was over, the stream of stuff to talk about dried up. Monkeypox came and went and he's not clued up enough to think, "Today we're going to talk about <health issue>" and pivot his channel in a more general direction.

    Indeed. I suspect what he's also noticed that wasn't apparent when his videos (pre-Covid) were getting dozens of views is that the internet is full of people who utterly love the foil and once you're (possibly inadvertently) on that train it's hard to leave the trappings it brings and get off it.

    It's more reassuring than a doctor that flip-flops between "there's few things worse in healthcare than a nurse/midwife with a bit of knowledge they don't really have the education to understand" and "Nurses and Midwives are all brilliant. Some of them known more than me! My humility knows no bounds"

    Which is it, Dr Death?

    Both things are true.

    I already further qualified what I meant by what I initially said and I stand by it. Obviously the people like that are a tiny minority (I've come across probably three in my career). That vast majority of nurses/midwives/other allied health professionals I have worked with are brilliant.

    Lee is clueless.

    I have experienced every single thing he used to come on here and tell me "definitely never happens". He's either a liar or just oblivious.

    To be fair, these are people who were ill enough to be bed ridden. They could have saved a test by presenting at their local A&E unit I suppose.

    Of course caesarean sections are the least healthy option. They're usually taken in circumstances where a vaginal birth isn't possible. For, y'know, the safety of the baby, mother or both.

    The importance of the benefits of breast milk are outweighed by the importance of not dying of dehydration.

    In fact, not even that, because the Mum would still be encouraged to breast feed. So you still get all the benefits of breast feeding. We'd just give formula on top (to stop the whole dying thing).

    I, for one, am shocked.

    After Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla declined to appear before the European Parliament to answer questions, Janine Small attended a parliamentary hearing on Monday in his stead. Member of the European Parliament (“MEP”) Rob Roos from the Netherlands asked her a simple “yes” or “no” question: Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested for stopping transmission of the virus before it entered the market?

    Janine Small answered “No.”
    https://www.nutritruth.org/single-po...d-transmission

    The BBC have decided not to cover this, hence the link to a site I've never heard of, can't imagine why.

    Wasn't it always advertised as a way to stop the effects of COVID being as bad hence the whole only people who didn't get vaxxed die of it now?

    I’ve seen a few people pissing their pants about this as if it’s a massive “told you so” moment. It really isn’t. The vaccines have saved millions of lives worldwide. Quibbling over transmission rates is neither here nor there.

    It was the principle reason being pushed to get those who weren't in a risk group to have a vaccine. A vaccine that (in many cases) was more dangerous to them than the disease itself. It's a huge deal and will seriously undermine future vaccine uptake.

    EDITED: To add the (in many cases).

    And the two things aren't mutually exclusive 7om. The sensible approach is to highlight that the vaccine was a wonderful thing and that we didn't need to be calling people anti-vaxxers for not wanting to give it to their children now we know they weren't increasing the risk of killing granny by not giving it to them.

    I have to agree. If the message had been that the vaccine only protects the person who gets it since the beginning, then there would have not been any need to force people to take it. The only reason that it was forced was because it would allegedly decrease the spread.

    Indeed. The vaccine zealots have created anti-vaxxers from people who never would have been otherwise, perhaps a very significant number. And that they're now doubling down or moving the goalposts and focusing on how the vaccine saved millions of lives, while ignoring that legitimate wrong, is just going to make it worse. I look forward to the return of Polio.

    Can't both be true, though? It was limiting spread until the new strains like Delta onwards.

    Didn't the vaccine come out after the new variant? Can't remember anymore. Either way, once it was clear that the vaccine did not reduce spread, we could have lifted all vaccine requirements. That did not happen.

    Nah, we had a good couple of months where the vaccine only had Wuhan strain to worry about. Britain stepped up our vaccination campaign (by saying 'fuck waiting for second shots. Let's get as many first shots done') to combat the Delta variant when that was kicking off. Once it was clear the horse had bolted, the vaccine passports felt a little daft.

    I would like to apologise to Yevrah for doubting the profiteering of the vaccine manufacturers (especially Pfizer).

    However, I am claiming my e-victory for not vaccinating my kids and for being a founding member of team "it doesn't stop it spreading anyway".

    I want Kiko to award my certificate as punishment for bullying me.

    I must be missing something here.

    The actual vaccine may not have reduced transmission, but it massively reduced the numbers of people getting Covid (and the severity) in the first place, then that reduces that number of people you are likely to catch it from.

    I don't see the outrage here.

    I don't see the outrage here.
    It didn't.

    We had our highest caseload when ~80% of the country was vaccinated. I've had it 3 times and I'm triple jabbed. If does fuck all to stop it spreading.

    But, I was barely ill. And It got tamer every time.

    (How the fuck does "it may not have reduced transmission" and "but it massively reduced the numbers of people getting Covid" work, exactly?)
