Italian police arrest two anti-vaxxers for fire bombing of vaccination hub
The molotov cocktail attack failed to damage the vaccines stored in the facility.

The molotov cocktail attack failed to damage the vaccines stored in the facility.
https://www.politico.eu/article/italy-p ... b-brescia/
Paolo Pluda, 52, and Nicola Zanardelli, 51 were arrested overnight for suspected terrorism offences, according to the ANSA news agency.
The suspects are accused of an April 3 Molotov cocktail attack on a vaccination center in the northern city of Brescia that damaged one of the center’s two pavilions, the daily Corriere della Sera reported.
Vaccines held in cold storage at the site were saved because the fire did not spread to threaten the unit’s electrical supply.
The breakthrough in the investigation came with the discovery of images of alleged bomb preparation by the two individuals, the paper said.

N.J. school nurse fails science, experts say, in comments about face masks.
https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2021/05/ ... masks.html
https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2021/05/ ... masks.html
She’s a school nurse who claims face masks are dangerous to kids and do nothing to stop the spread of COVID.
After refusing to wear a mask herself, Erin Pein said she was suspended from her job in the Stafford Township school district.
Now her supporters are planning a rally and her cause has become an issue in the upcoming Republican primary for Hirsh Singh, who arranged and posted a widely shared video interview with her and argues that no one should be forced to wear masks — calling it “a matter of personal freedom.”
But epidemiologists say such claims are little more than “inflammatory rhetoric” and at odds with the science that has repeatedly shown that face masks are highly effective in reducing the spread of the coronavirus. At the same time, they said as new variants of the virus develop, the wearing of masks has become more important than ever.
Pein, who did respond to calls or emails seeking comment, claimed in the video made by Singh’s campaign that masks did not prevent children from being exposed to COVID.
“The masks unfortunately don’t prevent them from getting COVID. Because the viruses are so small, it can’t be stopped with a mask,” she said.

Re: Coronavirus Anti-Maskers, Anti-Vaccers, Etc.
I know a nuttier RN. She's a trumpista too, which explains it. These nurses who think they know more than a MD or PhD shouldn't be allowed to practice.
Largo al factotum.
Re: Coronavirus Anti-Maskers, Anti-Vaccers, Etc.
I'm not sure what counts as a nursing degree -- she says she got a bachelors (4 years). Is that all it takes?
She does raise some proper legit concerns. Yes, we (collectively) pick up on non-verbal cues more than words. You can't develop those skills if everyone is masked. That's why we are rushing to get these vaccines out. If I can't see your face, I can't trust you. And these kids, need to be kids. I'm not saying she's right, but she has a point.
When I talk to a young child, I remove my face mask.

Re: Coronavirus Anti-Maskers, Anti-Vaccers, Etc.
You need a minimum of an ASN (2 year associate degree) for an RN, and something like 1000 hours of clinical to be a school nurse. A BSN is 4 years, but you can go all the way to a doctorate in nursing. BSNs make up almost 60% of the nurses in the US (or they did a couple of years ago when my daughter was considering nursing school) but they are all RNs as long as they have passed their boards.neonzx wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 4:15 pmI'm not sure what counts as a nursing degree -- she says she got a bachelors (4 years).

I'm sure you're trying to be polite with kids, but they aren't your kids, and you don't get to decide about a mask when around other people's kids. If the parents are masked or you are in a situation where masks would be worn by other adults, I would consider you to be incredibly out of line to intentionally take it off to speak to a child. No different to me than if a parent tells a child no about something and some rando wants to disregard that and tell the child it's ok.

A clear face screen might help.

If visual communication by facial features is a must, such as a distressed deaf child who cannot be otherwise comforted - then a face screen is better than nothing.

If a parent was about it was nice to get some sympathy, but if none about then there was always something else to do (that too might have resulted in falls etc That I survived with so few scars (physical/emotional) seems to suggest I wasn’t made of glass..)

I don't want to be in an argument. Um, Saturday,":Joe-Joe" was here with fam for a bar-b-que. I did a fist-bump with him. He's 8 or 9 years old ,, pre-adolescent . No mask on he or me. The elders tend to take precautions. I don't make decisions for the healthcare of children -- the parents were present.
