"Health experts are quitting the NIH and CDC in droves because they're embarrassed by 'bad science' - including vaccinating children under 5 to 'make their advice palatable to the White House,' doctors claim

The NIH and CDC are reportedly facing staffing shortages as low morale drives away employees

Decisions like the closure of schools and then requiring face masks once they reopened led to many questioning leadership

Lately, the authorization of COVID-19 vaccines for children four years old of younger has confused some in America's top medical agencies

Bari Weiss' 'Common Sense' Substack reports that data from both Pfizer and Moderna's clinical trials for jabs in under-5s show limited effectiveness "

Being the only nation with a 'for profit' healthcare system, it's no surprise.

Nurse aids make the same as a Walmart greeter. Who would change diapers for that kind of money?

Staffing shortages are common with nurses. That often leads to the need for travelers, who were getting paid up to $200/hour during the Covid peak.

Burnout is a thing. I live with a classic case. Nurses were getting pizza and parades during Covid. Now the hospitals are trying to shut down units to hike profits.

Walmart greeters make $200 per hour?

Never a problem until the Socialist Dems took over healthcare with the ACA.

You know, ... the bill Nazi Pelosi said you have to pass it if you want to know what it says.

Liar. It might not have been a problem for those who got 'free' insurance from and employer, but not for tens of millions who didn't.

Learn how not to contradict yourself

Why are you changing the topic. We were discussing Dr. shortages which you blamed on a for-profit system.

Employers should have never ever been permitted to offer insurance. Period.

Point out the contradicition.

It's always a challenge to attempt intelligent discussion in Appalachia. It's a wonder you know how to c/p, but that seems to be the extent of your abilities.

[B]Why are you changing the topic?

Back to topic, why do you blame a for-profit system for Dr. and HC worker shortages?

So what's your point????????????

No point, he just enjoys playing Chicken Little. lol

So we've been treated now to two-and-a-half years of Reichtards like the OP claiming that the deadly pandemic was overblown, no big deal, masks and social distancing are tyranny, the vaccines are poison, etc. Would YOU want to spend the rest of your career taking care of morons who can't even take simple steps to avoid the hospital? A lot of physicians and nurses are going into office work -- there is a huge job market for them in the managed care (health insurance) industry. I spent the last three years of my own nursing career in that field. Better pay, much better hours, better benefits, etc.

Those "low-wage essential health care workers" are typically CNAs, patient care techs, radiology techs, etc. Ditto for them. They work shit hours for shit pay, are exposed to COVID and other cooties, looked down on by pandemic-deniers. The job market for them in other industries is booming too. So why stay where you're not valued by the patients/employers?

Back to topic, why do you blame a for-profit system for Dr. and HC worker shortages?

The others in this thread have no problem following along. I've already articulated the exact reason for the shortages. You don't even know anybody in the healthcare system. Many of us do.

Go sit in the corner.

Back to topic,

The topic is the supposed contradiction I offered.

Point it out

Its not just healthcare..... its cops, its teachers, its soldiers and so on and on.....this society is crashing...and I warned you.
