Lots of difference between a cake and a COVID RT test.

Lots of difference between a baker and a trained medical professional.

So you think they should be forced to do the test?

[Jolly]

Do you think a medical professional should refuse treatment?

Especially if doing so can impact other people, besides the patient?

[Loki]

She breathlessly is going to show the world the public health crisis they are creating. Okay, the vaccine doesn’t exist. Seriously?

[Jolly]

It's a much bigger issue than a vaccine.

Um she is creating the greater public health issue. So we are supposed to enable her?

Jolly

I know you have been scrupulously fair about this.

Most of the public just wants to move on and doesn’t want to hear from the vaccine skeptics anymore. They had their day and now it’s time to move on with life. It is so old, boring and deadly.

[Jolly]

Not everybody sees everything as a vaccine issue. This is bigger.

They are allowed to do so for religious reasons, right?

[Doctor Phibes]

The writer of the article doesn't like playing the race or gender card. We know this because he tells us so, right before he plays the race and gender cards.

Religious reasons <> political beliefs

Hey Candace - your fight is not a matter of public interest. It’s a personal jihad. We get it, we are sorry if your eureka discovery doesn’t move us.

Not quite. And that's usually a very narrow refusal, usually based on abortion.

As long as another professional can, it's certainly not an issue.

Gee, a black woman is refused treatment on political grounds and you find it is not newsworthy?

Also birth control, hormone therapy and the HPV vaccine.

Couldn't another professional have tested Candace?

[Jolly]

They advertised they were the only lab in the area that did RT-PCR testing.

You could have fooled me.

People are fed up with the political battle over vaccines. It never occurred to me what her gender or race was. Good luck changing the overriding narrative….it’s like pissing into the wind.

Reminds me of getting the Japanese soldiers in the jungle in WW2 to surrender. Folks, the war is over.

You’re talking about an issue where public sentiment and wishes are worthless and have no meaning.

@Doctor-Phibes your argument about HPV vaccines, hormone therapy, etc… might have merit if hormone therapy was required for travel and entry to public events and spaces.

This woman’s efforts does nothing to promote public health and in fact hinders it.

I think as a matter of policy you see that most institutions are rolling right past vaccine hesitant folks making it their problem exclusively. The time for understanding and incentives is over. Maybe I wasn’t clear in my statement.

[Jolly]

Let me be clear in mine...I'm for vaccination, but I'm not for mandating a vaccine that only gives temporary protection from certain strains of a virus. At that point, you are letting the temporary undermine the permanent. The permanent being a Constitutional right to be secure in our property and person. In your scramble for the lifeboat, don't knock down people you do not agree with.

And while much of your argument is esoteric, I'm walking in rooms swabbing these folks or sometimes doing the difficult draws my phlebe can't do. I know up close the nastiness of the disease.
