A nurse who claims to have a religious objection to vaccines went viral over the weekend after she claimed to lose her job at Kaiser Permanente.

In a video that had been viewed over a million times on Twitter, the nurse says she is being escorted out of the building by security because she refused the Covid-19 vaccine.

"I am being escorted out of Kaiser Permanente hospital for my religious beliefs because I don't want to get the jab," she explains. "And I asked all day for someone to explain to me why my sincerely held religious beliefs are not good enough for Kaiser. And no one was able to do that for me. So now they're escorting me out because I wanted an answer and I'm not leaving without an answer."

1. See yeah, we don't want yeah providing us medical care.

Go work triage in the no-vax hospital.

16. Q-ism is as valid as any other religion.

By that I mean, it's a bunch of dangerous lies. Same as any other.

3. How classy

These people should all lose their licenses. The rest of us worked too long and too hard for ours to have these stupid anti-vaxxers dirty them up.

If a surgical nurse claimed to have a religious belief that meant she couldn’t use antibacterial soap, would she still be allowed to be a surgical nurse and just not scrub in, because freedom? If your belief means you can’t give safe, effective care, it’s not the job for you.

17. Exactly

25. It's the crackpot whose claim to fame is a TV show where she inspected people's feces.

Anyone else remember the BBC's "You Are What You Eat?" Ol' Gillian would shame people over their diets, inspect and analyze a fecal sample, and then put them on some pseudoscientific quack diet. If they didn't stick with it, she'd move in with them and harrass them until they did. She's awful.

7. There is plenty of nursing work for her in MAGAt homes. Perfect fit for her.

8. I hope to see that vaccinations be mandatory for Nurse License Renewal...

Just like required CEU's.....

9. Not really a nurse when personal views transcend science and I would guess allows personal beliefs

to disregard other standard medical practices. and something I have noticed in a few nurses and wonder if any one else has encountered nurses doing and saying things you know to be false.

10. Loved it at the end when the elevator voice chimes in. "Going down".

[Hortensis]

21. That was good. :) I hope she records her job interviews

and posts those also. Maybe she'll show herself wandering around those facilities demanding to know why she wasn't hired.

[Mosby]

22. Lol.

[Dorian Gray]

11. My sincerely held beliefs

Include NOT BEING MEDICALLY TREATED BY AN ANTI-SCIENTIFIC MEDICINE DENYING LUNATIC.

[Blue_Adept]

12. They never really seem to articulate what this religious belief is.

[tanyev]

13. Exactly. She wants an explanation why her "sincerely held religious belief" is not adequate--

how about she explain exactly what religion she belongs to, how long she has been an adherent of that religion, and also provide a copy of their doctrinal statement of objection to the vaccine?

Might as well claim that you have a sincerely held religious belief that you need a vodka martini every afternoon.

[Hortensis]

20. :) Exactly exactly. Checked and Kaiser DOES grant religious exemptions,

but members of the Church of the Holy Martini would presumably need to be able to at least produce a doctrinal statement.

Happily, her own evidence of this little stunt should survive for future HR departments to turn up. Spending "all day" at Kaiser after she supposedly no longer worked there harassing everyone she could find. Oh, yeah!

14. What I don't get is how people who don't believe in health care work in health care

I mean WTF? Just pray to whoever for your cures and Eff off woman!

23. They believe in it. They just don't understand it.

There isn't a strong emphasis on research in undergraduate health care education, broadly speaking. Nursing school teaches you to nurse. It doesn't doesn't teach you to read and review Lancet articles.

[Raftergirl]

18. This nurse is a dope.

[Zorro]

19. She's a dedicated member of "antiva"

[Wingus Dingus]

24. Narcissist, wants to put on a show.

See ya.

Instead, I offer another possibility — that lies of this sort are uttered precisely because they come with costs. I propose that political lies are a costly signal of tribal loyalty.

Remember, in economics, “signaling” means much more than just “trying to prove something”. Signaling in econ is basically when people jump through hoops in order to prove themselves. You might take a useless but difficult college course or math test, just to prove to future employers that you’re smart. Or you might get a tattoo to prove your loyalty to a yakuza gang, even though the tattoo would make it harder to get into a Japanese public bath or get a normal job. The fact that the signal comes with a cost is essential to separating the dedicated people from the posers.

Political lies could function similarly to the gang tattoos. By going on record as saying that we should seriously consider the possibility that climate change might not be real, you exposure yourself to a lifetime of ridicule. But that very exposure might prove that you’re the real thing, hardcore, really on the team, to a partisan audience who might otherwise be inclined to question your conservative bona fides. After all, if you were really a cuckservative or RINO, would you really have been willing to risk your reputation in the media world or in East Coast intellectual circles just to spread some FUD about climate change?
