According to this obituary, Chelsey Rose left us on September 22, 2021. She was "pro choice" on the vaccine, which in this case means she didn't get the vax. Another quick hitter today:
The entire world has been shut down for 2 years, and now she sees that it's a "bigger beast" than she thought.
Hey! But at least they met the GoFundMe goal! Way to go!
Again, what's up with all of these nurses?
RIP Chelsey.
UPDATE: We have a message from Emily (who ran the GoFundMe for Chelsey):
I will admit, that I am willing to put Healthcare Professionals like Registered Nurses on this site with scant evidence of their being "Anti-vaxxers". If a nurse hasn't been vaccinated by now, they are an anti-vaxxer. (Hell, if anyone hasn't been vaccinated by now they are an anti-vaxxer). Imagine a nurse not abiding by recommendations from the top levels and institutions of medicine the world over. Plus, a nurse has direct influence on others; to many of her friends and patients she represents a medical opinion by not getting vaccinated, herself.
The second problem with Emily's note is that she is hinting at her own anti-vaxxer attitude with "the vaccine has its own set of complications and has killed people". This is like arguing that seat belts shouldn't be worn because we can find an example of someone killed BECAUSE they were wearing a seatbelt. This doesn't make sense.
However, I told Emily that if she proves to me that she's been vaccinated I'll remove Chelsey's entry on this site. It's early and she hasn't responded yet.

If she wasn’t an anti-vaxxer, then she should have gotten the jab when she had the chance!
I know several nurses - one is a head nurse of memory care; I’ve known her since we were high school kids in the 1980s doing the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” - and friends of nurses, & many of them did have vaccine hesitancy based on their training & experience. It was a two-pronged thing; a lot of them had doubts, or questions, about the mRNA vaccine since this was the first time such a shot was being used for something other than cancer treatment. An mRNA vaccine as a preventative is unusual to begin with, and this being it’s first use on a wide spectrum of the population, it concerned them. Meanwhile, the ingredients of certain shots are more like to…
How someone could stick a knitting needle through their lip and not want a hair sized needle in their arm is beyond me. If a nurse ever came to see me wearing that hardware, I would immediately ask to be assigned someone with common sense. I have a son that decided he was going to gauge his ears in college. I asked him how he planned on paying for his last two years of school. He is currently an actuary and thanks me every now and then.
Ex-anti-vaxxer here. Embarrassing to admit. But, I fell "victim" into the Misinformation. Left the Trump camp, too..
Long story short, I got my head out of it, looked into the science and the data.. my whole family is now vaccinated, even my teenagers.
My wife is immunocompromised, she told me that if I told her to not get vaccinated, she wouldn't, if I told her to, she would. My wife has CRPS, doesn't follow politics. She tusts me to be her news...and make the recommendations
This was my tipping point. I needed to understand why I felt so resistance to the vaccine. It didn't make sense. I've always trusted science, why not now?
I started listening to doctors like ZdoggMD,…
