Doctors Hospital worker tests positive for COVID-19
(CNS): An unvaccinated employee at the Doctors Hospital was one of three people who tested positive for COVID-19 in the latest results from Public Health. All three were community transmissions. Chief Medical Officer Dr John Lee said Tuesday that this person was a secondary contact of one of the people involved in the first community outbreak, which is now known to have occurred in North Side.
The individual was tested because of their front-line job working with the private hospital’s COVID-19 testing programme and not in relation to the contact tracing. The other two positive community cases who are also unvaccinated were already in isolation as a result of being primary contacts in the same outbreak on 8 September.
While these two individuals pose no public health threat, given that they have been in isolation since the outbreak, the third individual, who was placed in isolation yesterday when their status was revealed, was working on the front-line of healthcare.
The person, who was employed at Doctors Hospital in the screening process for SARS-CoV-2 around a month ago, was traced as a secondary contact and therefore not required to isolate, but was tested as part of the regular screening process. Although unvaccinated against the virus, Dr Lee said the worker was asymptomatic.
“The Doctors Hospital screenings are run separately to the inpatient and outpatient services,” Dr John Lee explained as he announced the results Tuesday morning. He said the facility is now working with Public Health to assist with contact tracing.
The CMO claimed the risk to the public through this person’s work is low because of the use of personal protective equipment. “This issue really stresses the importance of assisting Public Health with any enquiries and complying with their requests if you are asked to isolate with your entire household,” Lee added in his video update.
In a statement, the Doctors Hospital noted that their staff member who tested positive “worked at this one particular testing facility in full personal protective equipment, has not entered the main hospital, nor did they have any contact with core hospital employees”.
Meanwhile, according to the latest figures released Tuesday afternoon there are 50 active cases of the virus among 866 people in isolation and quarantine exactly half of which are suffering symptoms including the woman in her 70s who was hospitalised with other medical problems and remains in hospital.
There was no additions to the COVID vaccine numbers on Tuesday, as the vaccination clinic were all closed Monday. The national rate of those having received both doses therefore remains at 71%, with 77% of the population having had at least one shot.

I would recommend to anyone visiting their doctors office to first enquire if the staff including the doctor and/or nurse attending to them have been vaccinated.
I had no idea that my doctor who is know pushing the Sinovec vaccine was unvaccinated when I went for my check up. I am not sure if he has now taken the vaccine even if it is Sinovec but I will not be returning to his office until I know that he has been fully vaccinated and for that matter, the people in the office there as well.
It is difficult to believe that with all that is known now that hospitals and doctors office are not requiring their staff to be vaccinated.
Still having a hard time seeing how this drugs ineffectiveness is being blamed on those who don’t take it. In a few years from now when the after effects are better understood Who will they blame then? The Doctors?
🤦🏼♂️
The slew of recent incidents from the people with positive PCR test results being allowed to fly in on Cayman Airways, to the number of quarantine breaches, to the absence of vaccine mandates, and now this suggests that we are not prepared for the status quo let alone opening. This from Singapore (which is much better prepared) –
“In Singapore, the country’s health ministry has reported 1,457 new Covid cases today, the highest since April last year.
A recent rise in cases after the relaxation of some Covid measures has prompted Singapore to pause further reopening.”
Singapore has a densely packed population of about 5 million people. It is totally incomparable to the Cayman Islands.
Don’t forget the rest of the world. Maybe a million a day. And don’t forget all the people that are dying every day from falling. And take into account that you will die of something for sure. Better to just stay in your room until then so you don’t get run over by those who are living life.
CNS – Perhaps the fact that you quoted Dr. Lee’s (the Government Chief Medical Officer) statements in relation to the Doctors’ Hospital incident have some people believing that it is a government hospital.
Perhaps some reference in your article that Doctors Hospital is a private facility would help. Many readers and posters do not even live in Cayman so they would not necessarily know. The power of accurate and clear reporting……
CNS: Paragraph 2, first sentence. Accurate and clear reporting is wasted on people who apparently can’t be bothered to read.
Great response CNS
And you think George Town hospital has 100% vaccinated staff lol.
I don’t trust none of these health people anymore. It’s obvious they are not taking proper precautions. Let’s look back in history: Shetty first exposure closed…HSA community spread.. first responders and HSA staff put in isolation, now Doctor’s Hospital. If they aren’t protecting themselves, how can they protect us? If we have people sick in hospital with Covid, we will probably go to the hospital for something else and get Covid. The medical industry is not prepared.
You just owned yourself with a double negative. Good job.
Yeah because they lowered the 14 days quarantine for Spikies. Good job
Not really, even before Delta as large %, perhaps over half of Covid-19 cases as asymptomatic. That is a big part of what makes the spread so difficult to stop as so many carriers have no idea they are transmitting.
So if this was a teacher all the kids in their class, their parents and families, and anyone the teacher came in contact with for more than 15 minutes would now be on lockdown quarantine. But government cannot afford to tell Doctors Hospital to shut down the entire testing department and everyone who came in close contact with this staff member, so we will just pretend there was no risk because they were wearing PPE.
It really rather illustrates why there should be a vaccination mandate for front line health workers. You cannot simultaneously say that in order to prevent the hospitals being overwhelmed with cases we have to have quarantine and mask mandates, then tolerate a situation in which a hospitals staff could end up quarantined. All the ventilators in the world wont do you much good if all the doctors and nurses have been infected pr forced to quarantine by one of their co workers. Madness.
I’m fully vaccinated and wish others would too. I’m starting to wonder however when this will ever end or how long do we have to keep closing everything and panic testing everyone and delaying everything when the world is starting to learn to live with this. Lets face it it wont ever go away now i doubt.
Just asking for a friend lol.
CNS – speaking of frontline workers and the risk that they create if they are unvaccinated. Do you know if census workers are all vaccinated? No unvaccinated person should be allowed in anyone’s home to conduct interviews if we have community transmission. Delta is effectively airborne. What are the protocols?
CNS: There is a story coming about the census workers.
Would not be allowed inside home anyway Covid or no Covid.
I think i\I now speak for the majority of us.
WHO CARES
You don’t. Not even close.
Quote of the day on the vaccine mandate:
“The protected need to be protected from the unprotected By forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn’t protect the protected”
You mean the vaccine that doesn’t stop the vaccinated from transmitting the virus to both the vaxxed and unvaxxed.
Is that the protection you are on about ?
Absolute nonsense.
This Govt or any democratically elected Govt cant legally FORCE anyone to get vaccinated.
I will say it again. The science is there, the facts are there. No reason not to open the borders.
We have a weak leader who refuses to open up.
Yes, time for our Government to represent the majority of Caymanians and the population instead of the minority that it is pandering to.
Perhaps they meant the vaccine that isn’t guaranteed to stop you catching the disease, but reduces it by about 75%, and then in the vast majority of cases keeps your ass out of the hospital and the morgue. As opposed to the cross your fingers and pray defence.
Yaron, can you weigh in here? Hopefully this was just an oversight and you will move to have all of your front line people vaccinated.
How can it be an ‘oversight’…? To err is human but come on!
My take on this is that if the Doctors/Owners of CTMH do not want to take up the mantle to ensure their front line staff are vaccinated, then I believe it is time that the government starts putting mandates in place.
The minority anti-vaxxers can scream about their human rights as much as they want but I believe the majority of the Cayman people will support the Government for taking this hard stance.
For the record, I mean all front line staff in any jobs or businesses.
Add to this that there should be no religious exemption.
More mass panic on the way again.
Condemning the unvaxxed frontline health worker. The employee was working with fully protective gear…….whether the staff member was unvaxxed or vaxxed you have to believe that the equipment will protect you (the patient)
Why is anyone surprised this could/would happen.
What happens when a vaccinated frontline health worker tests positive when they have been taking Covid tests. Some people on here would expect them to double up the amount of protective gear they wear and expect different results.
Mass panic x 2 on the way.
Another knee jerk reaction on the way from a Govt who can’t/won’t control quarantining or punish those who break the protocols, yet want to keep the borders closed. It’s beyond crazy now.
Time for everyone to start living in the real world. Get rid of the fear.
Can’t blame the unvaxxed anymore for not opening.
It’s the weak Govt listening to their friends who are holding us back.
Open the borders.
It should be mandated that all healthcare workers be vaccinated PERIOD FULL STOP.
No Vax No work.
As patients we expect a level of safety around healthcare workers we don’t outside the setting. We expect that IF ANYONE KNOWS THE VALUE ITS THEM.
Sorry not sorry. Mandatory or leave the field.
Exactly. First, do no harm. If you cannot abide by that you should be nowhere near the healthcare field.
Why ? There is no difference between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. They both can carry and spread the disease. When will that sink in !!!
When will facts sink into your pea brain?
Totally agree! Her case was caught because she had to get tested weekly whereas a vaxx could be positive and still work frontline with potential to pass on virus even if asymptomatic. Bottom line – both vaxx and unvaxx are responsible for protecting ourselves and the next person 100%. I’m hearing and seeing the majority here don’t want to wear mask or keep distance because they are vaxx. Sad mentality! And even worst are the ones who think there is no virus. We are in for some very rough waves when the floodgates open!
I’m vaxxed and wear masks.
You are a Troll. Any excuse to make a political point. No one is fooled or impressed by this type of post.
It has to be assumed something’s wrong when its probably safer to set up testing at ALT’s instead of a designated health facility
Time for the Government to grow a pair and mandate vaccines for all civil servants that can take it. Not vaccinating your healthcare workers increases the risk to patients and will have legal ramifications if a patient dies and the contact is traced back to an unvaccinated hospital worker. I am sure Doctors Hospital will now rethink their recruitment and vaccination policies following the latest news.
They were unvaccinated with covid and asymptotic? Thats very strange.
are you serious?
No strange. Not rare. But I definitely don’t want to be the one that dies while a life saving vaccine is free.
Incubation period bud. Lets see if they are still asymptomatic in a week.
there are literally MILLIONS of examples of people who tested positive who NEVER showed symptoms.
And millions have also died after being asymptomatic.
Err – no. You cant die and be asymptomatic – not from Covid anyway. The bit where you stop breathing is a little bit of symptom, don’t you think? Its not like getting hit by a car you know – you start off asymptomatic, then develop symptoms which worsen and then you die.
Whatever happened with requiring vaccinations for work permits? Wtf Pact? Are you asleep? So insane to shut down an entire country for a handful of fools when we have the tools, right there, at our disposal to solve the problem.
The handful of tools… Requiring vaccination of work permit holders without also requiring it of expatriate civil servants would be irrational, unreasonable and unlawful. The civil service continues to want to be exempt from everything, while imposing requirements on everyone else. This does not end well.
Well, it ends up with a considerably smaller civil service. Not in a odd way for the civil servants involved. Covid wont care about their human rights or the civil service association or AWaynes reluctance to offend anyone – it just kills a percentage of people who are not vaccinated, pure and simple.
Of course, its not just expats that work in front line healthcare. You think Caymanians are somehow naturally immune?
How can you make something this serious an expat vs caymanian issue – they should all be vaccinated.
Why do you assume the person is a work permit holder? Could and probably is a Caymanian. All of the work permit holders I know are fully vaccinated as employers have been notified they need it for work permit renewals.
The c19 level in the community is probably far higher than the government is telling us. Who would come forward knowing that they and everyone they know (and everyone they know and so on) will be stuck in house arrest for two weeks.
These draconian measures will prevent those who really need help from getting it.
Open up and get on with it and stop the stupidness…
No lie. I won’t get tested. I do not want a bag of wilted kale from Foster’s delivered by the Cayman Marines in a hazmat suits when I am fully vaccinated and free nearly everywhere else in the world. I should quarantine for those who refuse to vaccinate? No way bobo.
Yup!
5:06, it does matter. The vaccine has been shown to have a high degree of efficacy against contracting the virus. While it is still possible to have “break through” cases, the unvaccinated are completely unprotected and presents a higher risk to themselves and the community. Who are now among the largest statistics for illness a d death? The unvaccinated.
7.33pm Nonsense. In Singapore and Israel which have slightly higher vaccination rates than Cayman 80%+ of the cases are among the vaccinated and over 65%+ of the hospitalized are vaccinated. Breakthrough infections are not occasional with delta, they are the norm. And right here in Cayman of the 11 or so community infected adults 9 have been vaccinated.
CNS: Israeli data: How can efficacy vs. severe disease be strong when 60% of hospitalized are vaccinated?
Awful lot of breakthrough cases
6:45 pm: Stupid. Do you want the community it to be overrun with a deadly disease? I fully support the government ‘s efforts to keep community spread down and save lives.
Get vaccinated then and you won’t die if you get it.
Possibly, but you could have serious side effects for the rest of your life. Heard of Long Covid? Look it up.
The vaccine prevents long covid too. What a wonderful thing. That’s also free.
I just saw the lame comment by Doctors Hospital that in Cayman vaccines are Not mandated. So they don’t need to take any responsibility? They have people getting up in your face and up your nostrils and they cannot require them to get vaccinated? What a load of crock.
If medical people don’t see the necessity for vaccinations how do they expect the general population to respond?
I don’t care how much PPE they are wearing, I don’t want an unvaccinated doctor or nurse up close and personal.
I am of the same opinion. 2 reasons why I am suspect.
1. Its not in PACT interest to reveal the truth as it would indicate that while PPM control the virus they have failed at their first test.
2. It seems they know more than they are letting on. Why would they jump so quickly to shut the opening up down if the facts are not worse.
I could add 3. Why block out PPM if they were not hiding info. Bryan already showed he was willing to lie. Lie to even the people who put him in.
I smell something fishy. I believe there is more to this than meets the eye.
Caymanians do not want to open up.
Cayman have truly become the third word equivalent and laughing stock of the world on covid policy. It’s beyond a joke nw. It’s so embarrassing. This is the most shocking thing I have read in 18 months so far re; COVID and Cayman.
Says it all about Cayman. They work at the hospital but are unvaccinated. what a joke. Why were they allowed to come to work unvaccinated? People should be in jail for this.
You didn’t mind them being there risking their life when there wasn’t a vaccine. Ingrate.
Excuse us? You must not understand how PPE works. Or how NO HOSPITAL was overwhelmed or even whelmed during the unvaccinated part of the pandemic. Get over yourself.
This person only started this job a month ago….read the article!
And…..making you more susceptible of catching it from them. Yeah. Call me ungrateful also.
5:55pm and 5:46pm
Because this little “third world territory” respects human rights and individual choice.
Probably hard for you to get your head around that, eh?
hard for me to get my head around the idea that their human rights and individual choice trump my rights and y expectation that a health provider would deliberately expose me to risk. You want individual choice – have unvaccinated staff wear a badge saying they are unvaccinated, so I can exercise my right to choose another staff member to do my test.
Abortion still isn’t legal. Neither is same sex marriage. Don’t spout bs
Unvaccinated and a front line worker with the hospital’s Covid testing programme. That takes a special kind of stupid in both the person’s part and the hospital’s.
5.46 Not ‘the hospital’ but Doctors Hospital (CTMH), a private hospital and not to be confused with the Government Hospital.
You want to cite the vaccinated percentages at GTH? Yeah, thought not. What next, going to spout the old line about a word class (unvaccinated) civil service?
What kind of idiotic management puts an unvaccinated person on the front line to swab the public. Probably isn’t even a nurse or other medical professional either. The place has gone to the dogs since Dr T sold it.
asymptomatic though…
For now. 7-14 day incubation period. less time than that since the GTPS outbreak so…
Um….Dr T isn’t vaccinated either. Waiting to get permission for alternate, money grabbing vaccine.
Let’s be honest. It had gone to the dogs way before Dr T sold it.
‘We need all hands on deck’: Amid crisis, hospitals pause employee vaccine mandate”
https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article254327768.html
Yep. That state is in dire need of people to get vaccinated. Unfortunately, it’s full of weirdo trumpers.
You’re quoting from a state in the U.S. that has thumbed their noses at vaccines. The dire circumstances there are because of the unvaccinated. Please quote relevant statistics please.
This is outrageous! ALL healthcare workers should be vaccinated. Family members were tested there yesterday. Both negative thankfully, but God forbid if they were infected yesterday. This really is beyond the pale.
But vaccinated folks getting covid too though
Yes but at a 5% rate vs a 95% rate for unvaxed.
Plus there is a level of trust you have when seeing a medical staff member vs the public.
Where is your evidence on that ignorant and ridiculous statement ?
One has to wonder how many hospital/HSA employees are unvaccinated. I am aware of one at a dental clinic.
And having frontline health workers without vaccination unnecessarily risks contagion and may be an offense under the Public Health Act. But no one seems concerned about laws around here. Remember that when we have our first fatalities from local transmission.
But we can force kids in school to wear masks…
would seem to be a similar concept.
And to have vaccines.
There are still kitchen staff, waiters and bar personnel who are unvaxxed!
This person may have been in protective gear at the hospital but outside the hospital he would have probably gone to the supermarket, the gas station and other places or meeting other people…..
Yep. Which rather raises the question about why an individual whose very job required him to be in direct, arms length (actually nose length!) contact with people who have a higher than average probability of having contracted Coronavirus was not vaccinated, and was only tested as part of a contact testing program. Jeezums. The irony of it – you go to [Doctors Hospital] because you are concerned you may have Covid, you don’t, but whilst you are there you contract it from the person testing you.
If I have to provide a Covid sample i am going to ask the nurse if they are vaccinated and when they were last tested – and if i am not happy with the answer, ask for another nurse.
CNS: I’ve changed Doctors Express to Doctors Hospital, which is clearly what the commenter meant.
It’s Doctor’s Hospital, not the dope dispensers at Dr. Express.
The ‘rona is all around us, it’s just not very noticeable until you start testing large numbers of people.
Yup, because of our high vaxx rate we are pretty much unaffected. OPEN UP
Why is a front-line health worker allowed to work un-vaccinated at a HOSPITAL ?
It seems you have forgotten that it is still a choice and it is one to be respected not condemned.
I respect their choice, but question the choice of using an unvaccinated employee to test people who could possibly have Covid. Is there no other job they could do? Does CTMH not have enough vaccinated staff? I certainly don’t want someone shoving something up my nose if they don’t have basic protection against being a carrier. I get that you could be a vaccinated carrier as well, but its simple probabilies to opt for a vaccinated staff member.
Pyes, it is their choice but then they should not be allowed to work. The hospital is blatantly reckless in allowing it.
The choice for front-line health care workers should be to get vaccinated or find another job.
Nope. Not a choice. It is an offense to endanger others under the Public Health Act. She had a positive duty to minimize the risk to the public. Vaccination would have made her, and all those she interacts with, five times safer. That is significant. There should be hell to pay. If she did not want the vaccine then she had the choice of not being in a frontline role.
First, the persons job gave them far higher exposure to people potentially carrying the virus than anyone ese other than those treating the infected. That puts them at risk. Second, you are then exposing numerous people who are not infected but come into be tested by putting them in direct contact with someone who at best has a high risk of getting infected, and in this case was infected. I respect the individuals freedom to choose – but the (and for that matter his employer) doesn’t get to make others tjhen bear the consequences for that gamble. Doctors Hospital would be on very shaky ground if they got sued by someone who was tested by this individual, got a negative result but subsequently contracted Covid within the incubation period of being exposed to this person.
If they don’t want to be vaxxed – then stay at home from work – unpaid, but do not be a risk to others (and indeed yourself – …Who’ll have to pick up this person’s health bill…? That cost will all be passed on to teh rest of us through either CIG tax increases OR Health Insurance premium increases…
Because Wayne doesn’t have the balls to insist on mandatory vaccinations for high risk categories. Perhaps he should ring the Antigua Premier and get some helpful advice.
Antigua and Barbuda, what a country to aspire to.
And it is the Prime Minister not Premier.
Presumably you have spent some time there.
Only place in the world that is a British Colony and has a Prime Minister.
We suffer from delusions of grandeur.
I think the answer is much closer than that and no need to waste public funds on an overseas call.
But he does have balls enough to maintain a semblance of personal choice, and freedoms democracies were built on.
The freedoms democracies are based on are always compromised when they conflict with the public good. Hence the requirements in most modern democracies to wear a seatbelt, not to drink and drive, to drive sober, to drive under the speed limit and subject to the rules of the road, not to smoke indoors in public spaces, not to sell drugs to those who want to buy them, …..
Agreed. It is just plain irresponsible that Doctors, yes Doctors, would allow this situation to exist at Their hospital.
The very word ‘Doctor’ evokes a sense of trust and respect. Their first duty is to protect their patients and customers. Can’t even trust doctors now, sad.
All health workers and CIG employees should be required to get mandatory vaccinations or find other work. When I go to any health facility in the Cayman Islands I should not have to fear getting COVID from one of their employees.
It doesn’t matter as both, vaccinated or unvaccinated can still carry and pass on the virus.
You have to play Russian Roulette:
1. One gun has 1 bullet and 5 empty chambers
2. One gun has 5 bullets and 1 empty chamber
Still sure the difference in probabilities doesn’t matter?
I’d pick the gun with only 1 bullet in it and I’d prefer if my front line workers were vaccinated as well.
5:06, it does matter. The vaccine has been shown to have a high degree of efficacy against contracting the virus. While it is still possible to have “break through” cases, the unvaccinated are completely unprotected and presents a higher risk to themselves and the community. Who are now among the largest statistics for illness a d death? The unvaccinated.
Unvaccinated people are much more likely to catch, carry and pass on the virus.
Never happen, political suicide.
Why does Cayman Islands allow health care workers to remain unvaccinated? Vaccination should be a requirement for healthcare and frontline workers. These are people you can’t afford to be off shift isolating if they are exposed or worse suffering symptoms from a Covid infection.
Why wasn’t the member of staff vaccinated!? If they had a genuine medical reason fair enough. However, I think all medical personnel should be fully vaccinated. Those who work in medicine should be the ones to understand most the importance of vaccinations. SMH
The person is apparently doing just as well unvaccinated as if they had been vaccinated- and people still are not understanding vaccinated AND unvaccinated are contagious.
@5:56pm I’m not worried about him doing well. I just went to their testing center with my 11 year old son to travel to Cleveland Clinic for him to see his doctor..If my son gets covid because CTMH is too stupid not to think that they shouldn’t have an unvaccinated person sticking a swab up my son’s nose then they may be hearing from my attorney.
You are so pathetic.
Agreed, if you do not want to be vaccinated you should then choose another profession.
Yup, like hermit.
I hear they are paying recluses well these days.
They are also the ones that have seen side effects and educated on this first time in humans genetic engineered vaccine that would not normally be called a vaccine. You would be surprised at how many medical professionals don’t take it. The medical community is not 100% behind it.
Who? Other than Dr. T who wants a Chinese vaccine that is not even recognized in Western countries..Oh yeah I forgot, that’s just the fake media but know the anti-vaxxers will take the Sinopharm or Sinovec because Dr. T knows what’s in it? Really, does he? If you idiots want to take something from a country where these viruses start and from the same country that couldn’t(wouldn’t) be bothered to have their data evaluated then go right ahead. I know I would trust what is in Pfizer any day over a Chinese vaccine..but if that is what it takes to get you all some level of immunity against the virus, go for it..get the jabs!
Yes, there are idiots that are highly educated.
The ignorant community have made it their new God. They no longer have faith in their own bodies to learn the virus and protect itself. They would rather put their faith in drugs. The lesson the vaccine is going to teach the world is coming. Patience.
3:56 The Covid-19 anti-vaxxers has the answer for you.
Let’s be clear there is only ONE GENUINE medical reason to not get vaxxed!
Unvaccinated front line worker says it all!
Unvaccinated and works in health care.
Sigh…
Exactly at which location did this covid screener work?! You have got to tell us the basics. Why on earth would you keep it a secret?!
And you’d really hope that this screener wasn’t the person putting the swabs in the nose.
Exactly!! Hope the contract tracing includes all those people they tested regardless of the PPE.
No one that had been vaxxed will get tested and put into isolation. Absurd. I will be nowhere near the swab.
The reason why XXX …truth is the person was working at the Hospital at the drive thru tent…they go inside the facility to change into their scrubs and to clock in so imagine the staff inside are touching the same finger print clock that person just touched.
Open the border!
will keep on happening when you don’t mandate vaccinations for frontline workers.
third world stuff.
3:15, We are third world in the Cayman Islands. We like to convince ourselves that we are not but on vaccines we are right up there with the third world.
Once we get to the point where there isn’t a news article every time someone tests positive, we can say we are successfully living with Covid and managing just fine, without any serious side effects.
Why would you work on the front line testing people and not get vaccinated?
It is like playing Russian roulette.
Cue Forest Gump…
Why would government allow such a situation -Cur Forrest Gump again.
Actually – that is a good question. But instead of assuming it is just them being stupid or ignorant, maybe we should also allow that they decided that based on some good information. One of the things I think people miss is the fact that while everyone is clamoring about “take the vaccine” and “follow the science”, there are doctors, nurses, and scientists out there who are not vaccinated and have no intention to get vaccinated. Are you automatically dismissing their credentials because their choice doesn’t align to yours…? That is your confirmation bias taking hold. Instead, take am moment to really think about your question – Why would people who are “in the know” or “on the inside” or “have the training/education” and are in the “front line” not get the vaccine if it is so much wonderful that people keep pushing… it is a really good and thought provoking question.
How is this low risk if this person was wearing protective gear? She also has to go to and from her home at some point of the day. This government is such bullsh*t.
Meanwhile another day arrives in LA LA land… you couldn’t make this stuff up smh
