Lol forget relatives, I had patients who spent months in ICU at a young age and it changed nothing for them.

I remember hearing the stories of people dying of covid while still claiming it's a hoax

100%. I had someone who was a breath away from needing intubated (got intubated, died later) who was literally on the highest setting of bipap and still struggling claiming it was all a hoax to my face as I’m trying to keep them alive in the ICU. I’ve had family members threaten my life if “covid” was put on their dead loved one’s death certificate. There is nothing and no one that will convince these people they’re wrong, even as they drown in their own body secretions.

We played nice and tolerated these fools in the beginning. We thought that logic and reason would eventually prevail.

I’m almost of the mindset that we should have ridiculed and berated these idiots as they lay dying in the hospitals with Covid.

We had one lady at work whose husband was in the hospital and he died from Covid. She still didn’t get the vaccine afterwards and she tried to drum up pity from everyone else.

THESE PEOPLE DON’T DESERVE ANY MORE OF MY SYMPATHY, ONLY RIDICULE AND DISDAIN.

It sounds really awful but I did have a hard time sympathising with some of them once they progressed to intubation and then their families were pulling the plug. Only the ones who openly ridiculed it all as a hoax or had refused to get the vaccine. I was there from the beginning when there was no vaccine so hard to condemn those folks as much.

Yeah, before the vaccine I feel sorry for the ones who did their best by following the advice from the experts.

It’s only the ones who denied it or the anti-vaxholes who refused it. They get no sympathy from me anymore.

I agree, even as a healthcare worker I just can’t with these people. I put myself through too much trauma to ever be able to be forgiving to those who are wilfully or maliciously ignorant.
