My sister is an RN and just tells me to get my shot or don't come to my wedding. I guess I do not have to rent a suit!

Crazy to see people who work in the medical field abandon all common sense and medical knowledge for far left politics.

I'm gonna Old West it.

Time for a re-run of my favorite story.

My Sis is a medical doctor. On Christmas Day, she came out of the back room upset that one of her staff had just "tested positive" and had to quarantine for 2 weeks.

I suggested she get a 2nd test to confirm the 1st.

Sis looks me straight in the eye and says: "There's no such thing as a false positive PCR test".

Since I have done some work in the medical testing field, I'm aware that ALL tests have false positives. It's an imprecise science. 99.8% is considered the Gold Standard.

I'm also smart enough to realize that if 40 cycles give you more positives than 35 cycles does, you've got an accuracy problem.

I didn't say a word, because it would have ruined Christmas.

11 days later, the CDC released its report about needing to lower the cycle threshold for tests going forward for the exact reasons I've stated. I sent that article to Sis.......and haven't heard from her since.

They've perverted almost all sciences with this fake woke BS and the perversion of goal seeking studies. You get paid the find the politically popular result.

I have done PCR tests for decades. There is very much a thing as a false positive PCR test, especially with rapid testing. That's why I run more than one on the same patient. Takes awhile, but it's worth it.

Heck, you get different results at different labs.

I thought what they are calling the vaccine would not prevent COVID, that it just minimized the symptoms? What difference would it make unless she only concerned about you?

I wouldn’t want to miss my sibling’s wedding. Just tell her what she wants to hear and be there

Hes not the one giving the ultamatium. She clearly doesnt want him to be there, its his medical choice what he wants to do with his body.

That's supporting the Big Lie.

We need to push back against it at all times. I can think of very few situations where that rule shouldn't apply. A sibling's wedding might qualify as an exception, but once you give in once, they will keep pushing.
