I.. I know.
And less people with qualifications to administer vaccines means fewer people vaccinated.
Is that really a major problem? I know during the pandemic it was an issue, but who can’t get an MRR due to not enough doctors available?
So - you realize the issue here isn't one of competence but one of fraud right? It's not like she did this by accident. She did this on purpose. Nurses can commit fraud. The credentials of the midwife had absolutely nothing to do with what she did. I guarantee more nurses than you are comfortable with are anti-vax.
It would be easier to catch if not in some fly by night private practice. And certainly a practice that regularly vaccinated children like a pediatric office is less likely to see this happen.
And it still makes no sense. I’m not going to go to a cardiologist for a flu shot. Why bring pediatric patients to a birthing specialist?
Yes, there are way too many anti-vaccines nurses and doctors and every damn one of them should lose their license to practice medicine. And this woman should be jailed.
Okay - whatever. I don't even know what you're arguing for - just that you seem to be "opposed to bad things".
