I hate to be in the pick, pick, picky camp. But, really, you never heard of CARE? Falck is a HUGE medical care provider with 3,000 ambulances all over the globe. You might want to read some of the EMS trade journals and get yourself educated about the industry. You assert that, "...I've heard...

Read it again, I adequately stated my position.

Oh, my, my feelings are so hurt by your assessment.

Good old CARE Ambulance. When I needed a respite from Watts, I talked to Carl Richardson, the original owner of CARE. We had 6 BLS ambulances with Cars #1 and #2 as backup units, (budget Stoner low top Suburban conversions). I joined CARE in 1975, 6 years after it was founded and it was already...

I would think that natural selection would tend to mitigate Covid infections/symptoms as people begin to "armor up" their immune systems as time goes by, shouldn't the virus become, maybe more contagious, but more and more ineffective as a deadly strain over time? When variants or mutatations...

I offered what I consider reputable sources, especially Dr. Tenpenny and was mocked for my choices. You guys shot them down with derision because they didn't match your idea of researchers. I also have religious beliefs based on The Book of Revelations in the Holy Bible. Now, then, here's...

EMS is not likely to ever embrace the modern because they ignore and belittle their past, not learning the lessons of EMS history, unlike most professions. Way back in the 60s and 70s Ferno promoted their One Man gurneys to funeral directors and largely discounted the EMS side, instead providing...

Back to the OP. Wow, 58 votes total and you guys got your shorts all in a wad. I don't think the vast majority of EMTs care one way or the other or the tiny sampling represents much ado about nothing. Or maybe the vast majority of EMTs are on some other website.

I'm not a scientist and have no responsibility other than to myself. You decide on your own. As the OP asked, my answer is "no" to the vax.

If I followed the science, I'd be bound up in indecision. Fauci: masks only work for medical professionals, no need to mask up, wear a mask, wear two masks, wear three masks, vaccinate children who seem to have a natural immunity to Covid, get vaccinated-but still wear a mask. Maybe I should buy...

Or like your sig line says (and I paraphrase), " Life is hard; it's even harder if you're lazy."

And you support your own biases by refusing to do your own work. I gave you easy sources that you can springboard to however deep you want to go. Sorry, I refuse to hold your hand. Do your own research, I'm not here to do anything other than offer my own findings that are linked to deeper...

OK, I'll help you out, check the latest VAERS stats. Still want to get vaxxed? No vaccines have EVER been allowed to stay on the market with this many serious adverse reactions across all age groups. especially not experimental vaccines like mRNA variants.

Oh yeah, I was always second-guessing myself, often to the point of worrying over my 4 days off (FD 24hr schedule) whether or not I'd have a job to come back to. Just little stuff like, "did I do the right thing?" "maybe I should have done...instead..." It's easy to fall into that trap. We all...

That's why it's up to the crew to know which hospitals are appropriate. For instance, you don't take major trauma to a "doc in the box" or a minimally equipped hospital. That's NOT what I was referring to. You bypass the lower levels of care and go straight to the closest trauma center or major...

"Can someone help me identify this man ? Yesterday on 74/76 , I was in a confrontation with another fireman (I wish I had a photo of him) & then was threatened by this fireman with a gun pointed at my car . When the State Trooper arrived , he told me it was nothing he could do bc he didn’t see...

In the area where I responded, the city was huge, but hospitals were generally a 5-7 minute run in many cases. That's why EMT "scoop and run" made sense in dense cities. Lots of hospitals to choose from and you're already arriving at the ER before an ALS unit could even be onscene. In Heavy...

Sounds like the old "Hospital on Wheels," "Specialized Cardiac Care Unit," and "Dedicated neo-natal Ambulance." They were usually 1970s gas guzzlers sporting the "Latest Lifesaving Equipment" a physician, nurse, driver, etc. all packed into a rig the size of a motorhome, and shortly fizzled...

Or maybe they just had the flu. In case you did not understand, this journalist interviewed 2 medics who ACTUALLY WERE just coming from the ER. In another instance, a videographer interviewed security at the ER just after an L.A. local news broadcaster stated that the emergency rooms all over...
