‘I heard lungs gasping, families weeping, code blues echoing, and then I came home to your ‘fake news’ memes you posted on a whim. And it broke me.’: ICU nurse shares plea for vaccinations

“People who once called me ‘hero’ are now telling me I’m a liar. That my firsthand stories can’t be true. And I weep. For my coworkers who can hardly bare another day.
