Went to memorial site and saw so much support and solidarity amongst the grief and anger. People clearing paths, comm support members, holding the hand of a stranger. People hugging local police but shouting “ice out”. Somali men bringing samosas and coffee. Good prevails in evil times Hold tight.

“Enjoying” a beautiful eve in my safe bubble, listening to James Taylor #showerthepeople and sad abt what’s happening to our democracy. Thinking of all the lovely people who are working hard, loving hard and getting cast aside as “less than” and trying not to lose my shit every damn day!

Over my career I have cared for thousands of children and cannot think of 1 single child who had anything other than a mild expected reaction to a vaccine. Yet, a child has now died due to the crazy conspiracies and lies unleashed to frighten parents and put kids at risk of death. Unacceptable.

As a pediatric nurse practitioner who already has daily “chats” w/parents about vaccine “hesitancy” from side of science, maybe my job is easier now…”you’re on your own kids..buck up and fight the measles, polio, pertussis on your own! Severe pneumonia, paralysis and death are natural here in 1900”

You are up to date.
