For context, she’s a 63 year old nurse. We got into it because she keeps pushing me to get the vaccine. I keep telling her that I am never getting it, and I have thoroughly read and studied for months in support of my decision. So she asks me to send her my sources. I spent an hour last night re-reading journal articles and mainstream news source articles that link back to university and governmental studies. Sources such as the NIH, CDC, etc. I then placed them in a specific order so that they supported each other and my brief, educated assertions typed above the links.
Her response after all of that effort, effort that would’ve gotten me an A in any college course? “These aren’t .gov or .edu sources” “I’m concerned that you only read sources you agree with”
Mother of GOD, these people are DENSE. THE GOVERNMENT AND UNIVERSITIES ARE THE PROBLEM. THEY’RE SKEWING THE DATA. THE SOURCES FORMED MY OPINION, not the other way around. There’s no convincing them otherwise. Sorry for the yelling, this is just insane. She also brushed off the lockdowns and vaccine passports like they’re nothing to worry about and people protesting are just prolonging the pandemic 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
As requested, my sources and synopsis in an easy to access location.
PCR test deemed ineffective for the purpose of diagnosing cases of Covid. This is a Class I recall and revocation of the Emergency Use Authorization for the PCR technology as a diagnostic tool in this instance.

EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) for vaccines is only allowed in the absence of viable treatments. The effectiveness of Ivermectin has been suppressed, thus, the EUA for the Covid vaccines is ILLEGAL according to the government’s own standards. Why is this allowed?

As for chloroquine (of which the much-maligned Hydroxychloroquine is a milder derivative) it was deemed to be a potent SARS inhibitor by none other than Dr. Fauci’s NIH. Note that in the Children’s Health Defense article, those recovered from SARS (80% similar to C19) demonstrated immunity 17 years later to SARS-CoV-2. It follows that Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine are effective treatments for Covid due to its similarities to SARS. This takes us right back to the illegal EUA for the vaccines, and the countless lives lost in pursuit of it.

Those in the placebo group will still be granted a vaccine passport in the UK...this makes no sense.
Is the disease worse than the “jab”? The CDC is NOT gathering consistent data on hospitalizations for vaccine-related health events. Why not? What are they hiding?

Doctors across the world have been pushing the vaccine on their pregnant patients for months and declaring it safe, yet Moderna is JUST starting trials on pregnant women?! There is NO data definitively declaring this safe for expectant mothers and their babies. THAT is the ethical violation I referenced. These are experimental vaccines and therefore informed consent is paramount so that those in receipt of them know the risks of consenting.

All viral illnesses can have negative impacts on pregnancy. There is really nothing that can be done to prevent this beyond working to maintain a strong immune system. I could get the Covid vaccine, sure, but end up with viral meningitis or the flu—life is full of risk, illness, and danger, and Covid is just one of millions of viruses that can infect vertebrates. I am not compounding that risk by taking an experimental vaccine, with NO idea what the long term effects on my body or the bodies of my future children will be. I would much rather take my chances with what is known.

As for your position as a BSN—I respect that deeply. However, a medical professional that is using coercive measures to get a patient to consent to an experimental substance entering their body is against everything the field should stand for.
“Be not afraid” —St. John Paul the Great
My wife is an RN and works works in covid icu. She's mainly seeing vaccinated patients at the moment (most have some pretty severe comorbidities). She gave up on pushing the vaccine on me before she started working covid, but now she's very conflicted. She still attempts to make every excuse for the medical complex and give it the benefit of the doubt despite her first hand experience.
You have to understand these people have spend their entire careers with the medical complex as "the center of the universe." They will not believe anything that they are not commanded to believe. The chain of command mentality is a stronghold in the industry.
My wife has over a decade of first hand experience in icu environments and she tells me horror stories about residents who have no idea what they are doing, but the nurses typically go along with what they say due to the hierarchy (even if nurses voice different opinions).
She tells me stories about moronic decisions by these baby doctors, yet can't understand why my trust for the medical complex has completely eroded over the past year. I worked for a senior Living center during the initial outbreak. The amount of ineptitude (half based on straight-lined thinking and the other half based on cya mentality) is STAGGERING.
My point being is that you are going up against decades of programming. She will not see the light until her higher ups allow it. Keep proding, but know that direct attempts to counteract her narrative will not work. Gentle pokes and questions that allow her to explain or make her question procedures will be your best bet.
There has to be a better way to get through to these people, other than just "riding it out and hoping for the best."
This is a fundamental problem in all aspects of society: medicine, law, media, university, everything.
It's not just riding it out, slow and steady exposure.
