Not gonna happen..... In the very first part of the pandemic, I (retired RN) volunteered with the Idaho Medical Corps. This is a volunteer program organized through the federal government after 9-11 when medical people wanted to volunteer in NYC after the attacks, but there was no organization.

In my volunteer capacity, I worked in our local public health office on the telephone “hot-line” reassuring frightened people and arranging for the scarce PCR tests when a caller met criteria. I later did telephone follow up and contract tracing, until I recognized the futility and the scams. But the paid health department employee were in their glory. They LOVED the overtime, the sense of excitement of being on the “cutting edge”, the power. They were openly disdainful of the COVID “hot spots” in our community -- especially when the hot spot turned out to be the local Lutheran Church. “Those idiots had the choir singing right next to the air conditioner intake” I remember one man-bunned millennial liberal facist telling me. (He never occurred to him that I might be a practicing Christian, and realized how important faith was to believers during this scary time.)

So it ain’t gonna happen. Acknowledgement that the jabs are killing more people than the virus would necessitate some level of self reflection and modesty. Mr. Man Bun would never admit he was wrong.

I'm also a semi-retired RN. I work with my husband who is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. We were reported to our local health department for not wearing our masks a week before our governor in Montana rescinded the mask mandate. I politely listened to the young man as he read me his spiel regarding masks and Covid until he stated "If it's just you and your husband in your clinic, you may safely remove your masks but you must maintain 6 feet social distancing." I was laughing so hard I could barely catch my breath! To that he replied that yes, it sounded stupid which I countered with "No young man, it doesn't sound stupid. It IS stupid." To add insult to injury, he advised the Covid vaccine was the most researched vaccine in modern history. Well, you sir, are the lab rat in this research. He promptly hung up.
