This could be bad. Opposite of COVID. It could be super terrible for younger people and not older.

And we know we have a vaccine that is 100% effective

To this day I don't understand people not getting polio and chicken pox vaccines

Yeah, hopefully it hasn't mutated

Among the unvaccinated. I would imagine we'd see fading vaccine effects among older populations, if we see it at all. Polio still has one of the highest rates of vaccine acceptance.

Because some crazy doctor who lost his license in Britain made up lies about vaccines being somehow directly tied to autism. Which was all found to be completed fabricated but some California celebs/Karens decided to believe it.

You forgot the step where the California hippies and Karens joined forces with the equally stupid contingency in conservative circles.

I agree a lot with this for RNs and LPNs, though nurses are absolutely the backbone of medical systems. APRNs and DNPs/PhDs are also some of the best providers I've ever worked with.

I agree, but there are the know-it-all RN's or Lpn's that start all of the crap. People sadly listen to it as if they are scientists.
