I am deeply disappointed in your apathy and utter disregard for human life. How can you continue to hide in the shadows \u2013 only to tremble and quake about speaking out? How is it that you are not standing up for what is right in delivering the best possible care to patients who see you as the last bastion of hope to help them through their darkest hours?<\/p>\n<p>I am a retired RN with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing. I also have another Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s degree in another field. I worked professionally in nursing for over 40 years. If I ever had a question about any medication that was new to the market, I always looked it up in the PDR (physician\u2019s desk reference) or the accompanying package insert to see the contraindications; side effects, etc. of the medication. I would also call the hospital pharmacist. If I still did not feel right about giving it, then I would call the prescribing doctor and explain my concerns. Sometimes, depending on the situation, we would hold the medicine until further notice.<\/p>\n<p>I got the package insert for the Moderna shot from a neighborhood pharmacy. It was folded up neatly inside of the box. When I opened up the insert \u2013 it was about the size of a large calendar. I was shocked when it said \u2013 <strong>\u201cLeft Intentionally Blank\u201d<\/strong> in big, boldfaced letters.\u00a0 And it was BLANK! If I were still working in the field,\u00a0I would have never given said injection without knowing what it contains<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u201cLeft Intentionally Blank\u201d<\/strong> tells me right off that I would be subjecting my license by injecting someone with unknown ingredients.<\/h3>\n<p>When I spoke briefly with an RN who worked in one of those Urgent Care Centers her response was, \u201cI\u2019m not going to argue with you about no [\u2026] shot!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why did she get so hostile and defensive with me when I asked her if she knew what was in it? I cannot speak for her, but I guess she thought like the rest of the ones giving the shot:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m just following orders \u2013 it must be OK.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition, the doctors that are hiding in the high grass may be doing so for the same reason: \u201cI\u2019m just following orders from the administration.\u201d What a cop-out!\u00a0 We know that you fear losing everything that you have worked for all your life \u2013 but what about the Golden Rule in medicine? Do No Harm! As far as I am concerned, I distrust modern medicine with anything that they are trying to sell nowadays, with few exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/national-news\/articles\/2020-01-06\/poll-americans-rate-nurses-as-most-honest-distrust-lawmakers-and-car-salesmen\">Gallup Poll<\/a>, December of 2018, nurses ranked number one as the most trusted professions and doctors second. So where is the medical profession now, I wonder? If they keep on pushing these jabs like there is no tomorrow, I would say they are lower than low. I know a lot of you are sitting on the fence about what to do but I say, make a decision. Now. Sooner rather than later. Put an immediate halt to \u201cjust following orders,\u201d and stand up for what you know in your heart of hearts is right. When all of the doctors and nurses stand up and \u201cJust say no,\u201d the greedy system collapses.<\/p>\n<h3>Modern Medicine \u2013 Heal Thyself.<\/h3>\n<p>Be courageous. Do not enable a corrupt system. Stand up and be counted. Look at the nurses that the hospitals fired over \u201cthe shot\u201d because they refused to take it to keep their jobs, only to have the hospitals call them, begging them to come back because the facility couldn\u2019t fulfill its obligation to the community by providing quality medical care with such few staff members.<\/p>\n<p>To those medical professionals who work in critical care \u2013 why are you being dictated to by a hospital administration who only cares about their bottom-line and profit margin? Why are you still enforcing protocols that are costing lives, knowing that there are other off-label medications that are saving lives in other treatment facilities? Shame on you. Do not think you are exempt from criminal negligence and malpractice because you are all under the CARES Act or because the holier-than-thou organization has your back. You don\u2019t know when this is going to implode.<\/p>\n<h3><em><strong>What happened to your morals and advocacy for the patients?<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n<p>I know many good doctors and nurses have left. I say \u2018hoorah\u2019\u00a0for them. They were brave enough to stand on their own two feet. They made that difficult resolution. They have moved on to other things. Why do some of you stay only \u201cto go along to get along\u201d? Especially when all is being exposed at such a rapid rate. Wake up and smell the coffee. I know that this is easier said than done, but is this the world we want to live in? Men and women going to a hospital for help only to be treated inhumanely?<\/p>\n<p>I just pray\u00a0for all of the good professionals who are on the fence about choosing a side.<\/p>\n<h3>Feel the fear but do it anyway.<\/h3>\n<p>I guarantee, you that you will sleep better at night knowing that you made the right decision. As George Bernard Shaw once wrote, \u201cAll professions are conspiracies against the laity.\u201d (From the Doctors Dilemma \u2013 1906). I have a knee-jerk reaction to this truth. Remember what Hippocrates wrote, \u201cWhere ever the art of medicine is loved \u2013 there is also love of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s up to you. Are you politicians or healers?<\/h3>\n<h3>Please do not let medicine lose its soul.<\/h3>\n<p>It is high time to \u201cgrab your pitchforks and storm the castle.\u201d Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>And by the way, congratulations to the Arizona Board of Nursing who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectveritas.com\/news\/hhs-whistleblower-jodi-omalley-cleared-of-all-wrongdoing-by-arizona-board-of\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.projectveritas.com\/news\/hhs-whistleblower-jodi-omalley-cleared-of-all-wrongdoing-by-arizona-board-of\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1650543517878000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3-QiS1BvZ4Vxpl4bAuHxYO\">didn\u2019t revoke Jodi O\u2019Malley\u2019s RN license<\/a>\u00a0for doing the right thing.
