Growing Revolt Among Medical Practitioners
Against Vaccinating Toddlers for Covid
From IM Doc via e-mail:
I had a moment today where I
realized that it may very well be the nursing and the pharmacy professions that
begin the long slow pushback against the over-prescription of Covid vaccines.
Two things in two different parts
of the country happened.
Today in our county, which recall
is over 80% vaccinated and hence has been very receptive of Covid vaccines for
adults, I was called to an urgent meeting because it may be that hospital staff
would need to be pulled to the Health Dept. Why? – Because the inoculation of
the less than 5 [year olds] is beginning – and all 3 of the Health Department
nurses resigned in protest. They are simply not going to give these kids these
inoculations. When a nurse on my staff was approached with filling in the
deficit – her response (in my presence and that of the supervisor) – “Not only
no – but F*** no.”
It turns out the county Health
Department found no nurses willing to do this. So our entire vaccine program
for everyone not just kids was on hold.
After more panicked efforts, they
found one nurse to give the shots. That nurse too refuses to give it to the
babies. She will be there only to do the shots for 18 and up. She will not even
give to teens. I am sure they will eventually find people to do it, but it is
profoundly admirable of these nurses. I will be doing all I can to help them
get other employment.
