I just wanted to bring up how after having a throat issue recently, when I went to go get a steroid shot for it, they forced me to get tested for both strep and covid or I wouldn't be treated (even though i sat in the lobby maskless for 30 minutes). Well the normal throat swap for strep was fine and easy, but the covid test up the nose burned like a motherfucker. I demanded to look at the packaging for both, and the throat swap said "STERILE|R", with R indicating it was sterilized with irradiation (heat gun, steam, etc). The covid test? "STERILE|EO", which means it was sterilized with ethonal oxide... a carcinogen to humans only used to sterilize metal equipment.

When I said "this is why I didn't want it up the nose, you just forced a carcinogen upon me," the nurses stared blankly and said "sorry" very passive aggressively. The people supposed to know these things are not only clueless, pencil pushing, regurgitaters, they think they're better than everyone and won't even wake up to take responsibility WHEN THAT IS THEIR JOB AND OATH TO DO.

The people who made the test and the clueless people they use as soldiers are sick beyond belief and are more than absolutely fucked once people really start to catch on. The two times I've been tested I've had horrible sinus and nasal cavity issues for like 2 weeks after. The fact it happened both times speaks volumes, and the entire medical fields attitude about it WILL have dire repercussions.

I hate that I have family and know of people in this field who are fully awake and are going to potentially receive backlash from everyday folks who wake up in the heat of the moment. They were censored and unable to speak out, but now they need to figure out which side of history they want to be on. Some drew a line in the sand and have begun to walk away, the upcoming purge of employees in big hospitals will also stand as testament to just how much of the field is clueless, or worse, an accomplice in this all.

Overall though, the medical field is completely fucked and we need to be there to stand up for our pedes in that field so they don't get hurt in the crossfire. As for the rest of that industry? To hell with them.
