Has the Pandemic substantially impacted your life as a current or former cancer patient? Please post your stories; heartbreaking, frustrating, even uplifting.
If you post anything about treatments, cures, vaccinations, hospitalizations or deaths, please back it up with research from accepted, credible sources. Your Uncle's neighbor's third wife who posted a crazy conspiracy theory on Facebook is not a credible source.
Angry, passionate, sad are all acceptable, disrespectful is not.

exbrnxgrl, I find it hard to refrain from flipping them off. It's become an almost automatic reaction.

Exbrnxgl, I might have done the same without regrets.
While I’m ultimately against mandates in most situations, I find it disturbing and unacceptable that people put so much effort into trying to force their beliefs on others. It’s a real shame the way some people are behaving.

In theory I am against mandates. I always hope people will think of others and do the right thing. The truth is that people don’t always do the right thing and that is why mandates are sometimes necessary. I wish they weren’t but they are.
The demonstration was not large at all, possibly less than 100 people. It did comfort me to know that these folks are a small minority in my county.

It's pitiful that any government is forced to make people protect themselves and others. Once people knew smoking was dangerous you would think it would be common sense to isolate yourself when doing it. Or if you found out you could save your life or your child's life or someone else's simply by using a seat belt or car seat then of course they would do it. My son was sick from his mandated malaria shot when he travelled in Thailand and Nepal and expected it but he didn't want malaria. duh.
Seems like there are a lot of either really stupid or really unkind people out there.

As a former ED and prehospital nurse, I've seen plenty of approaches to snakebite treatment. The vacuum extractor is a complete bust. No better than the really old-fashioned approach of cutting incisions and sucking out the venom.

Seriously, how could a thinking individual possibly believe venom (you can substitute "vaccine" almost throughout the articles) could be sucked out after it's been injected at least an inch deep into a muscle? Once it's in, it's in. No amount of suction applied to the skin will remove even a drop of it.

Based on the time of the day & the fact that I've just consumed a lovely gin & tonic - wrenn's comment makes me want to cry. Oh, I do agree - but how very sad....
Maybe I should start smoking again & go to "their" protest and blow smoke in their faces? How juvenile is that?

wrenn - 👍 Mandates are getting the stragglers on the far left of the Bell Curve.
sbelizabeth - Ah, but they aren't thinking, so easily conned.
Minus - G&T yum.
I read there are new outbreaks in a local hospital and a retirement home. The vaccine mandates will help prevent those. They're necessary.
