    Initially, I took that meme in an opposite way (pro-vaccine) but rereading it, you’re right. It comes across as anti-vaccine. :/

    This thread is really just for quotes not for debate. Maybe start a new thread to discuss topics you pick up from here?

    No. Just keeping the thread on topic.
    Discussing quotes in this thread would be okay if it doesn’t go too sideways. But I don’t trust the process. lol

    "We would like to apologise for the way in which politicians are represented in this programme. It was never our intention to imply that politicians are weak-kneed, political time servers who are more concerned with their personal vendettas and private power struggles than the problems of govenment. nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifce their credibility by denying free debates on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent, nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do we intend that viewers should consider them as crabby ulcerous self-seeking little vermin with furry legs and an excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practises which certain people might find offensive. We are sorry if this impression has come across."
    - Monty Python

    In nursing class the mantra was along the lines of

    Learn about a procedure
    Practice on a simulation
    Observe as many as possible real
    When confident do one
    When confident demonstrate one
    When confident teach one

    Sticking needles and injecting water in oranges not quite same as needle in buttock penicillium

    “Does anything in nature despair except man? An animal with a foot caught in a trap does not seem to despair. It is too busy trying to survive. It is all closed in, to a kind of still, intense waiting. Is this a key? Keep busy with survival. Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go.”
    ― May Sarton, Journal of a Solitude
