Good to know! I hope younger folks get vaccinated soon! 
To 16 for Pfizer and 18 for Moderna - so there will be no excuses as long as people can get appointments! And Rachel certainly made the case, positive cases are way down for those who are vaccinated and don't look good for those who aren't. And I have an appointment on Sunday to get my Moderna shot #2! Things are finally happening fast! 
to send this to. But, I believe they won't listen to Rachel Maddow.
BTW they are NURSES. 
But I know exactly what you mean. I know an older gentleman who I can't help worrying about. You know how it is, when I got my first vaccine shot I told everyone I ran across, encouraging them to get theirs too. And this guy is in his mid 80s so he could have qualified from the beginning. So I asked him when he was getting his, he lives in a rural area so I was prepared to call up the links we've shared here on my phone. But his answer was that he didn't plan to get it since his daughter is a nurse who works at the hospital and she's not getting vaccinated and he gets his medical advice from her! I keep wondering how he's doing... 
I know I saw that somewhere just recently and was appalled, think it may have been a link to OAN that someone posted here and it made me feel kinda ill. These nurses have to know and understand a lot about meds and how they work (my cousin is an RN and had to repeat a tough course in nursing school) so how can they believe these crazy lies?? 
she was NOT CONVINCED by the 7 physicians on the panel. It was about how to deal with patients who are vaccine hesitant. BTW the panel was 3 Black woman, 1 Muslim woman, 1 Latino man and two white men ALL DOCTORS. She feels they didn't give a good enough answer when she asked about "the two thousand people who died from the vaccine". Because she knows more than they do.
She is an amazing nurse. She is really good with our patients and she works with a diverse population.
I don't get it. I lost a lot of respect for her.
The other nurse is a bully and I'm not surprised she's a trumpy.
What does it take?? My "argument" is that we all have been vaccinated against serious illnesses that used to kill so many - like polio, smallpox, diphtheria - and now they're vaccinating against measles, mumps, rubella before kids are allowed in schools. My friend returned to college and I took her to get the MMR vaccine before she was allowed to attend classes. And I read here that Rutgers (where my cousin went in NJ) is requiring the covid vaccine before students are allowed there and I'm guessing that they're only the first.
