Upset Covid Frontline Nurse Delivers A Spot-On Twitter Thread On People’s Mistrust In Modern Medicine
Recent times have been challenging in many ways for everyone. The pandemic has not only put a burden on medical care, but also caused a stir among people. The confrontation between vaccinated people and anti-vaxxers is one of the most discussed topics in today’s world: the statistics and scientifically proven information against misinformation and personal beliefs. The flow of quick updates and non-stop flow of facts and their interpretations. All of this in just a span of almost two years has made people question everything they see and hear. Having this in mind, Twitter user @jessicam6948, who is a nurse practitioner in the intensive care unit, shared what it’s like to be a frontline worker in a hospital.
More Info: Twitter
Today’s context shows that Covid-19 has not only taken a toll on people’s health but also divided them

Jessica started her post by remembering people she had to see die because they were not only the victims of the pandemic but also victims of lies and misinformation. According to her, these young people could’ve survived if they had been vaccinated. However, all of these people, four of them in one night, have died because they or their close ones believed that the vaccine would cause more damage than actually help.
This Twitter user decided to share her experience of working in an intensive care unit and spread awareness of what misinformation can do to people

According to Voice of America (VOA) news, 45% of people who have not yet been vaccinated say that they are “definitely not” getting vaccinated, and only 3% of those who haven’t had their vaccine yet say that they will get the shot. The reason for these numbers to appear is that these people do not trust the vaccine. However, this point of view started a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”—a rise in the number of people contracting COVID-19 among those who haven’t been vaccinated.

In her Twitter thread, the user also pointed out that one of her coworkers had their tires slashed, but security managed to catch this person. This is only one of many examples of how medical staff is put at risk besides being highly exposed to COVID-19.
She finished her thread with the names of some well-known people who have authority and attract big audiences and who continue to spread contradicting views. One of these names includes Dr. Joseph Mercola, who is an osteopathic physician and an alternative medicine partisan. He is known for being one of the most influential coronavirus misinformation spreaders.
People online also expressed their concern and their point of view

Share on FacebookMatthew Bailey's comment has made me coldly angry. That creature (not Mr Bailey, the subject of his tweet) believes it has a "god given right to kill their kids"?! Right. Thats it. J'en ai marre. The human race is finished and we have these sputum filled piles of dog turd to thank for it. The gene pool is sadly in need of some bleach and I for one would love to drown the b*tch in some.
I wonder how many people who have the same s****y attitude regard themselves as "pro-life." Protect embryos and fetuses, screw children once they're born.

The idiot parents in this story murdered their daughter as surely as if they'd held a gun to her head and pulled the trigger. F**k them and f**k all anti-vaxxers. Cretins, every last one.
I'm with you. And I don't know if this is unique to the US because we have such a huge religious population, but I honestly think we need to be able to override a parents wishes in health issues. Would I want someone to do that to me, you might ask? Yes, if I'm not following the science. F*** your beliefs. Is your god so inadequate that he didn't help create the science?
Load More Replies...I know what the anti-vax response will be. I am surrounded by people who will say, "Well those few people had underlying conditions... I'll be fine without the vaccine." Sigh.
I have no underlying conditions (that I know of) and I WILL probably be perfectly fine without a vaccine...but I'm damn well going to get one as soon as I qualify.
Load More Replies...I wish everyone would see this. I already told my anti vax aunt, I wouldn't care what government, media, others say, if I want to know how things really are, I'll go and ask someone at hospital. I'm fortunate to have part of family and gaming friends who are doctors and nurses. They saw the worst of it. And yes, some people go through covid with no symptoms, there's also one girl which survived rabies. Doesn't mean that I'm gonna risk it if there's a vaccine.
My husband works at a hospital and comes home every day shaking his head at the number of nurses that won't get vaccinated. He's all over the hospital, as he's a plumber there. So he sees all the floors. A few weeks ago, they were down to no covid patients. Yesterday they had 28 in ICU alone, and another 50 that are in their covid unit. He's WATCHED them take out bodies to the temporary morgue they had to set up. He's watched seemingly healthy people being wheeled out after surviving, but now looking like they're 100 years old. I think all these anti-vax people need to go sit and watch what goes on in the hospitals before they spout their School of Google information.
Load More Replies...My job plugs me into a statewide critical care/ICU network, and what I'm literally seeing is the unvaccinated dying like flies. Last year I saw people with severe COVID cases in the hospital for weeks, and some of them died of multiple organ failure that couldn't be treated because the disease is incurable, and some lived. This year, I'm seeing the unvaccinated dying much faster, sometimes in less than a week after coming into the hospital. These are adults, mostly in the prime of life, age 20-60, and they're dying and leaving children without a parent or families without a breadwinner. GET VACCINATED. THERE IS NO CURE, THERE IS ONLY PREVENTION.
This is so true. Where did common sense go? Too bad there's no vaccination for stupid.
Load More Replies...If people here think I'm an a-hole, well, I spend 30 hours a week at the hospital with this. Withthe families refusing permission, screaming at me that science is evil/wrong/bad, you name it, all because I volunteer to advocate for the well-being of patients and provide accurate medical information in everyday English, using my MD and years of experience as a Medico-English Translator, and this is why I don't practice medicine. I saw kids that age blind or brain-damaged from measles, in the 1990s in the US. A disease we shoudl've eradicated. I can't handle dying kids. And I am not my nicest when I see them dying b/c adults are idiots/cruel/greedy/etc. Gonna go cry now.
I had to get a MMR vaccine at 57, before I did chemo. I had always thought I had mumps. But in talking with my brother (who did have mumps), he said he didn't think I had them, as I had not been born yet when the rest of my 4 siblings had them. And they did not have the vaccination until after I started school, so I kind of fell through the cracks. Turns out, I didn't have measles either (had to do a titer test). If I had not done that, and gotten measles during chemo, it could have killed me. This is one reason why we vaccinate.
Load More Replies...Trump is to blame for a lot of anti vaxxers opinions. It's just a pity he didn't sanitise himself by injecting bleach!!!
How can people deny their kids life-saving healthcare?? Is this really a thing?! In my country if a parent doesnt want to save their childs life (i.e necessary blood transfusion, emergency surgery, etc) for wtv reason, the child´s "medical" custody goes to the healthcare team responsible for them immediately. Having access to Healhcare is a Fundamental Human Right and parents cant deny it to their own children. They´re considered unfit to make medical decisions on the spot (a judge will sign that thing asap) and they´ll have to face CPS and a judge afterwards, even if they comply. If they dont comply and try to stop the necessary procedures they can be forcefully removed and might end up losing all custody rights. If you as a parent think your child should die, you´re obviously unfit to parent... You can deny wtv you want for yourself as a person but in a life or death situation (like intubating) parents wouldnt be able to decide.
In the US if it is long term care, like cancer treatment, the state can and has taken kids away from mainly Jehovah's Witnesses and Christian Scientists. But my guess is the court proceedings needed to do it would have taken longer than that girl had.
Load More Replies...Over the decades I've held the hands of people who are dying, more than I can count, obviously. Some were in their very early 20's. I never actually worked in pediatrics. I can't handle seeing sick children, much less ones who are dying. But all those people in their early 20's died from cancer. We don't have a vaccine to prevent that. I remember each & every one of them by name. But this nurse holding the hand of a 14yo girl, I can't handle even hearing about it. We have a vaccine for that. Maybe these parents were concerned about the vaccines long term effects. Well, they don't have to be anymore do they? Before my shot, if I got covid, no vent. But this was a child. Give your daughter a fighting chance for God's sake!!! Children are less likely to get it. Less likely to get sick with it. Not anymore. Not with delta. You don't know that won't happen to your child. It just might. More than ever now. You want to play Russian Roulette? Go to Vegas. Don't play it with your child's life!
This is horrifying. My son broke his arm quite badly when he was 4. And, of course, I knew he wouldn't die from it, but to watch as they had to move his arm for x-rays, listen to him scream in pain and then the pain afterward. Trying to get painkillers into a 4 year old, not an easy thing. It left me traumatized. He is now 21, and he remembers it vividly, as do I. There are little things I don't remember about him growing up, oh, doing well on a spelling or test, but this - this sticks with me. Gave me nightmares for years. My heart goes out to any parent who has had to watch their child with cancer or covid. I think it would have killed me as well.
Load More Replies...That's really bizarre that in order to adopt a child you need to go through nine circles of bureaucratic hell, but in order to produce a child and raise them you need absolutely nothing - you can be a brain-dead idiot and total psychopath who denies their child crucial medical procedures just because they can.
Bet there are a bunch of anti-abortion people who are not vaccinating themselves or children. I had a few friends who didn't think the vaccine was important. Not that they were against, more so that they think they are healthy and young and will be fine without it. I gave them an ultimatum, vaccinate or I was done speaking to them. They proudly sent me pics of their vaccination cards saying they didn't know I was so passionate about it. I told them that was because they weren't one of those people who had to let their family member die alone as they slowly suffocated. If you won't do it for yourself, do it so you don't have to watch your loved ones gasping for air while you are unable to hold them. I am so tired of seeing people die for no reason. I was working 60+ hours a week to get COVID studies up and running and I feel like all my effort was wasted, the vaccines gone done so fast because researchers were working until 3am, apparently for nothing.
I got my second shot sunday. I do appreciate your work. It's important, life saving ... what else is there to say? Thanks, of course ... antivaxers, fact-deniers in general, are acting aggressively. We should start treating people who think an opinion that already is proven wrong is a protect-worthy opinion as what they are - attackers onto the entire result of enlightenment, reason, science and common sense. Aggressors on my and your and anyone's ability to live. Aholes.

Yeah sadly people like abbot, Trump and Bolsenero never die of this s**t because of their ability to get treatment no one else could, even as their policies kill millions
Load More Replies...This has driven me to tears, despair, numb disbelief, and back around to tears again.
My father said I worry too much, never considering my reality. Getting COVID again after being vaccinated was rare and if I did it will be mild. I had a mild case March 2020. It was utter hell and the long term side effects are brutal. Why wouldn't I be extra careful? Thankfully I am adult. If i was still i child living at home they would have mocked me for getting sick then ignored me. My father's comment was consistent. I wasn't that sick and I over worry. He laughed at my stupidity. I live alone, there isn't anyone to call if I need help -- getting very sick is scary. I started taking myself to the doctor at 14. My mother makes fun of my fake illnesses, even when my doctor confirms the problem. Long COVID will be rude surprise for too many.
Why the hell would parents refuse treatment for their child? My kid is sick you can bet your ass I will allow doctors to try every single treatment that could possibly help save them - I wouldn't for a second just let them do without a fight. That poor kid. Makes me so sad. Some people really don't have the capacity to be parents if they're putting online bullshit before their babies
Personally, I think we should take all the Trump Trash and their racist, misogynistic, violence disease ridden asses and put them on an island of their own. They do not deserve to live in our country.
I also feel like a lot of the people who believe it's their "god given right" to let their child die in a preventable situation, are also NOT pro-choice when it comes to abortion.....what a strange and sad place
Sorry if a dumb question, but are other countries allowing under 18 yos to get the Covid vaccine? In New Zealand, it hasn't been approved for our children yet, sadly. Heck, I'm not even able to get the vaccine yet, we're going by age groups with exception of frontline workers.
Germany does. Kids can get vaccinated from the age of 12.

May every single f*****g anti vaxxer catch that s**t and die. Every. Single. One. I’m so sick of their s**t.
Personally I think we should put them on an island and let them work it out for themselves.
Load More Replies...It has been uncovered that somebody pays people (e.g. unemployed actors) to spread lies about the covid-19 and vaccines. I have been wondering who are these people who want people dead? Maybe someone wants to stop overpopulation? Infant mortality rate has been very low for decades and people live longer in the Western countries because of easy access to vaccines and quality health care. It almost seems like someone is trying to create superior human race by letting the gullible and less educated people die to preventable diseases. Really, it breaks my heart to see people falling for these lies.
I don’t think here in Germany parents could refuse life-saving actions done to their kids like intubation. Situations lime this may happen here when those idiotic jehova‘s witnesses refuse blood transfusions even for their children. In those cases the will of the parents is overruled by the doctor’s decision or even the childs will. Yes, if a child is determined able to decide for himself to get a blood transfusion it will happen even against the will of the parents. Children are not your damn property. I’m glad that often enough in Germany religious mumbo jumbo is irrelevant
As a healthcare worker in Florida, the thought that DeathSantis wants to run for President, might scare me even more than when Trump actually was
What do these people believe about small pox, polio, TB, more recently MMR, the flu and HPV vaccines ? Would we be here if vaccines weren't developed and distributed in the past? The hell?
Maybe they lack cemeteries with kids from that time... I´ve been recently to one where there were like 5 small graves of children that died from polio. All from the same family, all under 10 yo. Some have forgotten how bad it was before the vaccines... vaccinations have saved thousands uppon thousands of people.
Load More Replies...This is enraging. People fail to understand freedom and espouse a perverse interpretation of the word. Worse they buy into the lies and liars.
We aren’t being offered the vaccine for kids yet in the uk. This article makes me scared for my children.
"Jessica" has been debunked as a fake for weeks now, why hasn't this been deleted already? No wonder BP's appeal has been plummetting...
I got the vaccine because it is my best chance. My Canadian medical system treats me like an employment opportunity, keeping me in play as long as possible and ruining my general health. They didn't even set a broken bone - it healed while I was trying to navigate the system for three weeks.
I SYMPATHIZE!! Six elders died all on the same day this last week in our town of 8000 with two prior deaths all year. ALL had the vaccines. My sister is vaccinated and still got Covid, my other sister has been diagnosed with it three times. The Vaccines are NOT the cure all and will NOT stop the illness... only reduce the chance of complications for some. I prefer a cleaner society to vaccination predjudice. Flu vaccine discrimination is not right! I understand the science... I love the science... but social changes in hygiene and understanding is how the battle will be won.
I got the Covid vaccine because I have zero trust in my local hospital. They manage health problems to maximize their employment and only care about their personal friends.
It's really no wonder not everybody trusts modern medicine. What with all the laws being created to remove informed consent . All the censorship on social media . Sorry, our government is frequently corrupt . Money corrupts absolutely . It's always wise to know what is best for you and your family. Don't count on a doctor to know what is best for you. They have hundreds of not thousands of other patients they keep their eyes on. Doctors are busy people , and aren't super human. They're regular people who get busy and make mistakes . Don't try to tell everyone else what to do. That's not your job. You can only control yourself. Let's start being nicer to each other even when we disagree
Real Vaccines are a boon to civilization. (polio, smallpox, et...) Hastily deployed experimental gene therapy conducted on healthy people is quite another matter. If the jab works, why is there another booster coming in Sept? If the jab is safe, why hasn't the FDA approved it?
I've never seen a bigger group of sheep in my life. Line up for the slaughter.....
I get frustrated with this type of article. What hospital? I searched and found a handful of articles on how the Vaccine is causing deaths and shortages of healthcare personnel. And that is with over 60% refusing the vac. There was a doc stating that they saved every covid patient but the vaccinated infected died. A UK medical director is saying “levels of sickness after vaccination is unprecedented" - Most of the nuns in a convenient died of the vaccine. The vac companies will not force this to their own employees. A chairman with pfizer warns against vaccinating the populace. Only children with conditions are effected. What is the truth? What is going on? I can't get access to the trials data, it's hidden. We now know they lied about "90-95% effectiveness." The data given to the FDA by the vac corps has Huge gaps in it. You can read it yourself on the FDA website. All cronovirus vaccines failed animal testing for the past 20 years. What is the Truth? Where do we turn?
DMH The clinical trials data is fully available, I've read it. Your comment is full of misinformation, as if you searched it out deliberately. I've checked and things like the nuns? Were already ill with covid, the rest have since been vaccinated safely. Yeadon is no longer recognisable to his colleagues and appears to have lost the plot. None of his claims make sense. There are not huge gaps in the data. You have followed a misinformation trail, or several. Claims like this rarely hold up under proper scrutiny.

It is 'vaccinated peopled WITH THE VIRUS are as contagious'. So why should you get the vaccination? Because it still reduces the chance of catching it for a start! So that reduces the number of people who will then pass it on. Reducing numbers is a good thing. Then it reduces the symptoms and the likelihood of death. Those are facts.
Load More Replies...thanks for the compliment, but it said the parents didn’t let them properly medicate the child when she got to the hospital.
Load More Replies...I understand what you are saying. But you have a couple of things incorrect. 1- the FDA has approved this for emergency use. All clinical trials has been done on the vaccines. Regular FDA approval comes through a bureaucratic system, hence the delay. The issue that concerns is a paperwork problem, not "vetting for safety". 2- you cite the low risk of COVID, but fail to acknowledge the much lower risk of getting the vaccine. You have a risk of 1-2% of getting COVID unvaccinated (very rough estimate depending on where you live, lifestyle, etc). With the vaccine, it's about 0.03%. 3- There is no widespread evidence that the vaccines is any more unsafe than a traditional vaccine. 4- the Russians have been mounting a misinformation campaign against getting the shot. They wouldn't do this if it is as bad as you feared. 5- The Delta and future mutations are able to get a foothold because of the amount of unvaccinated. 6- There is no significant body of experts that say it's unsafe.

Personally, I think we should take all the Trump Trash and their racist, misogynistic, violence disease ridden asses and put them on an island of their own. They do not deserve to live in our country.
I also feel like a lot of the people who believe it's their "god given right" to let their child die in a preventable situation, are also NOT pro-choice when it comes to abortion.....what a strange and sad place
Sorry if a dumb question, but are other countries allowing under 18 yos to get the Covid vaccine? In New Zealand, it hasn't been approved for our children yet, sadly. Heck, I'm not even able to get the vaccine yet, we're going by age groups with exception of frontline workers.
Germany does. Kids can get vaccinated from the age of 12.

May every single f*****g anti vaxxer catch that s**t and die. Every. Single. One. I’m so sick of their s**t.
Personally I think we should put them on an island and let them work it out for themselves.
Load More Replies...It has been uncovered that somebody pays people (e.g. unemployed actors) to spread lies about the covid-19 and vaccines. I have been wondering who are these people who want people dead? Maybe someone wants to stop overpopulation? Infant mortality rate has been very low for decades and people live longer in the Western countries because of easy access to vaccines and quality health care. It almost seems like someone is trying to create superior human race by letting the gullible and less educated people die to preventable diseases. Really, it breaks my heart to see people falling for these lies.
I don’t think here in Germany parents could refuse life-saving actions done to their kids like intubation. Situations lime this may happen here when those idiotic jehova‘s witnesses refuse blood transfusions even for their children. In those cases the will of the parents is overruled by the doctor’s decision or even the childs will. Yes, if a child is determined able to decide for himself to get a blood transfusion it will happen even against the will of the parents. Children are not your damn property. I’m glad that often enough in Germany religious mumbo jumbo is irrelevant
As a healthcare worker in Florida, the thought that DeathSantis wants to run for President, might scare me even more than when Trump actually was
What do these people believe about small pox, polio, TB, more recently MMR, the flu and HPV vaccines ? Would we be here if vaccines weren't developed and distributed in the past? The hell?
Maybe they lack cemeteries with kids from that time... I´ve been recently to one where there were like 5 small graves of children that died from polio. All from the same family, all under 10 yo. Some have forgotten how bad it was before the vaccines... vaccinations have saved thousands uppon thousands of people.

We aren’t being offered the vaccine for kids yet in the uk. This article makes me scared for my children.
"Jessica" has been debunked as a fake for weeks now, why hasn't this been deleted already? No wonder BP's appeal has been plummetting...
I got the vaccine because it is my best chance. My Canadian medical system treats me like an employment opportunity, keeping me in play as long as possible and ruining my general health. They didn't even set a broken bone - it healed while I was trying to navigate the system for three weeks.
I SYMPATHIZE!! Six elders died all on the same day this last week in our town of 8000 with two prior deaths all year. ALL had the vaccines. My sister is vaccinated and still got Covid, my other sister has been diagnosed with it three times. The Vaccines are NOT the cure all and will NOT stop the illness... only reduce the chance of complications for some. I prefer a cleaner society to vaccination predjudice. Flu vaccine discrimination is not right! I understand the science... I love the science... but social changes in hygiene and understanding is how the battle will be won.
I got the Covid vaccine because I have zero trust in my local hospital. They manage health problems to maximize their employment and only care about their personal friends.
It's really no wonder not everybody trusts modern medicine. What with all the laws being created to remove informed consent . All the censorship on social media . Sorry, our government is frequently corrupt . Money corrupts absolutely . It's always wise to know what is best for you and your family. Don't count on a doctor to know what is best for you. They have hundreds of not thousands of other patients they keep their eyes on. Doctors are busy people , and aren't super human. They're regular people who get busy and make mistakes . Don't try to tell everyone else what to do. That's not your job. You can only control yourself. Let's start being nicer to each other even when we disagree
Real Vaccines are a boon to civilization. (polio, smallpox, et...) Hastily deployed experimental gene therapy conducted on healthy people is quite another matter. If the jab works, why is there another booster coming in Sept? If the jab is safe, why hasn't the FDA approved it?
I've never seen a bigger group of sheep in my life. Line up for the slaughter.....
I get frustrated with this type of article. What hospital? I searched and found a handful of articles on how the Vaccine is causing deaths and shortages of healthcare personnel. And that is with over 60% refusing the vac. There was a doc stating that they saved every covid patient but the vaccinated infected died. A UK medical director is saying “levels of sickness after vaccination is unprecedented" - Most of the nuns in a convenient died of the vaccine. The vac companies will not force this to their own employees. A chairman with pfizer warns against vaccinating the populace. Only children with conditions are effected. What is the truth? What is going on? I can't get access to the trials data, it's hidden. We now know they lied about "90-95% effectiveness." The data given to the FDA by the vac corps has Huge gaps in it. You can read it yourself on the FDA website. All cronovirus vaccines failed animal testing for the past 20 years. What is the Truth? Where do we turn?
DMH The clinical trials data is fully available, I've read it. Your comment is full of misinformation, as if you searched it out deliberately. I've checked and things like the nuns? Were already ill with covid, the rest have since been vaccinated safely. Yeadon is no longer recognisable to his colleagues and appears to have lost the plot. None of his claims make sense. There are not huge gaps in the data. You have followed a misinformation trail, or several. Claims like this rarely hold up under proper scrutiny.

It is 'vaccinated peopled WITH THE VIRUS are as contagious'. So why should you get the vaccination? Because it still reduces the chance of catching it for a start! So that reduces the number of people who will then pass it on. Reducing numbers is a good thing. Then it reduces the symptoms and the likelihood of death. Those are facts.
Load More Replies...thanks for the compliment, but it said the parents didn’t let them properly medicate the child when she got to the hospital.
Load More Replies...I understand what you are saying. But you have a couple of things incorrect. 1- the FDA has approved this for emergency use. All clinical trials has been done on the vaccines. Regular FDA approval comes through a bureaucratic system, hence the delay. The issue that concerns is a paperwork problem, not "vetting for safety". 2- you cite the low risk of COVID, but fail to acknowledge the much lower risk of getting the vaccine. You have a risk of 1-2% of getting COVID unvaccinated (very rough estimate depending on where you live, lifestyle, etc). With the vaccine, it's about 0.03%. 3- There is no widespread evidence that the vaccines is any more unsafe than a traditional vaccine. 4- the Russians have been mounting a misinformation campaign against getting the shot. They wouldn't do this if it is as bad as you feared. 5- The Delta and future mutations are able to get a foothold because of the amount of unvaccinated. 6- There is no significant body of experts that say it's unsafe.
