I would prefer my child to be delivered by someone who knows how to deliver babies. I would not care about their gender, their race, their sexual proclivities. I would not who they voted for, what music they listen to, where our not they believe we land on the moon. I would not care if the hate the measles vaccine. Or are against taking a brand new vaccine.
Why would I? Are you afraid what the nurse thinks will someone get absorbed by the child?
I would only care that they know what they are doing, and perhaps the method they chose to do it
- q1w2 5y agoNurses don't deliver babies anyway - doctors do. Gender, race, sex preferences, or political beliefs are very different from being anti-vax. Being anti-vax is evidence of low intelligence. So no, I would not want someone with low intelligence to handle or assist my baby's delivery. But the most obvious reason is that they directly endanger mothers and babies in the delivery ward because unvaccinated people are more contagious and carry higher viral loads.
- peteradio 5y ago> unvaccinated people are more contagious and carry higher viral loads Unless they've already had covid of course. In which case the situation is flipped on its head. How many nurses do you think may have already encountered covid prior to vaccines even becoming available?
- q1w2 5y agoIf they were making the argument that they should be exempt because they tested positive for antibodies, that would be a more reasonable argument. They are not making that argument. They are simply anti-vax.
- CommunityPoster 5y agoHaving discussed with nurses dealing with vaccination, some are quite sceptical about the vaccine, due to the great amount of secondary effects they witness after the shot. The remark about "low intelligence" is quite wrong anyway: most people get vaccinated because the news told them so, not because they read through the peer-reviewed studies and concluded that it's safe. Anyway, for a pregnant women of 30 years old with no comorbidity, the risk is very low. A mother giving birth is much more at risk of medical malpractice or general risk due to the various treatments, such as epidurals, ocytocin, episiotomy and so on, that are often not really useful but applied anyway.
