  4. We’re going to be dealing with people who went mental during COVID for a long time.

  5. Oh she will be whinging it’s all a conspiracy against her and certain folks now…

    *But at least can no longer do serious harm*

  6. Too many nurses against medicine. Maybe they watch Alex Jones.

  7. The ability for any old gobshite to post videos of themselves on facebook and tiktok has sent people nuts. They all think they are celebrities. Add that to the covid mayhem and BOOM

  9. Lockdown was incredibly intense and mind blowing.

    It’s very sad that it tipped so many people off the edge mentally and they’ve committed their rest of their lives to this nonsense

  10. Childcare providers all over the country are dealing with sick kids and vulnerable kids because of stuff like this. I’m glad the healthcare profession is taking a stand on it.

  11. The sheer amount of people who went completely insane during COVID is something that needs to be studied. Especially because some of the people who fell down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and anti-vax nonsense are claiming that they’re enlightened because they didn’t abide by lockdowns/didn’t wear masks/didn’t get vaccinated/etc. I’m really not looking forward to 50+ more years of “GeT aNoThEr BoOsTeR”/“YoU sOuNd VaCcInAtEd.”

  13. A nurse in my community went full blown online conspiracy nut during covid.

    She was always thick as champ, but I’d thought her online batshittery might’ve got her pulled in work. Apparently not.

  14. Suspended for 12 months before this decision was made.

    Why does it take a fucking age to do literally anything in this country?

  15. Some of these nurses went full blown conspiracy nuts over COVID like saying 5G was spreading COVID while also saying it was a virus that apparently doesn’t exist.

    My brother-in-law’s sister worked in the ICU during COVID and watched people die from the virus yet she thinks COVID could be mainly spread via 5G because “you never know….”

    Another nurse convinced my sister not to get vaccinated because the COVID jabs were design to spread cancer and that she shouldn’t vaccinate her kids because the meningitis & HPV vaccines “are dodgy”. Sister quotes her all the time like she’s a guru.

  18. One of my former neighbours was a doctor who got himself struck off and ended up losing his practice as a result of the absolutely bollocks he was spouting during Covid.

    He made a very public nuisance of himself and was rightfully told where to go.

  20. My aunt, whos a healthcare worker, also went down this rabbit hole. I had to block her on facebook because she went on about vaccines causing deaths and covid not being real right after my uncle died of covid. It was too much for me at the time

  21. We’ve had notices about measles and mumps from the primary school because of nutjobs like this. Its baffling sometimes that people who clearly have a good education turn to this sort of nonsense.

  22. It’s really scary to me how many nurses are into Facebook quackery. A big chunk of my family are in the HSE and apart from hearing way too much about turmeric and parsley from *them*, the stories they bring home about some of the others are terrifying.

    One nurse was telling people to use a veterinary ointment that’s now outright banned in this country because not alone does it not work, it burns on contact. **For burns**. We don’t even use that shit on horses anymore because it’s so uselessly painful, and she wanted someone with burns to put it on.

  23. There is research that shows nurses and healthcare assistants are more likely to adopt COVID conspiracies (a similar rate) than more educated healthcare professionals like doctors. The leap in education from nurse/healthcare assistant sufficient to overcome the misinformation.

  24. Fantastic. Real world consequences for playing stupid games.

  25. I work in a shop. Had a middle aged man today throw a fit and refuse to be served by me because I was wearing a mask. He was a cunt to my colleagues but didn’t have the guts to say anything to my face. And it wasn’t because he was worried I was sick, either. He was just that indignant at the thought of having to interact with someone like me.
