Do You Trust A Pharm Tech to Administer the Most Complex Vaccine In Human History
CVS is hiring THOUSANDS of pharmacy technicians and pharmacists to administer the Covid vaccine.
Pharmacy interns and techs who meet HHS requirements can administer childhood, COVID-19 vaccines
I am not belittling the career choice of pharma tech. But you should know that a person with a high school diploma or GED who makes $21,000 will be injecting you with this brand new vaccine. A Pharmacy Intern is a pharmacy school student. The vaccine needs to be stored, thawed, mixed, spoken to in a soft voice and told that it is the prettiest vaccine ever according to documentation. UK Pfizer Covid Doc - Read it
Salary for a Pharm Teach ranges from high $20Ks to low $30Ks. Source Zip recruiter
From the CVS hiring site:
Education: High School diploma or equivalent (preferred).
The rushed vaccine is gasoline. Add human error?
I asked my high school buddy that became a pharmacist just what they taught you about a vaccine.
She didn't know much. Surprise! Well not here.
I got tough with her cause she pulled the "I am trained, and have the degree" routine.
Sooooo,, lab tech, doctor, nurse, pharmacist, guy standing behind you in the check out line; what is the difference.
A mechanical engineer, or a HVAC guy might be your best bet since the vaccine has to kept 90 below freezing.

Most Pharmacy technicians have an associates degree. Still I believe nurse at least practical ones should administer vaccines not "medical assistants" who have a 9 month diploma. It is funny how liberals will jump at the chance to legalize hard drugs like crack cocaine or opium based drugs but allow and even encourage a years long bureaucratic approval process through the FDA and USDA for vaccine for any infectious disease including COVID 19. The same bureaucracy happens for any other medicine approval like chemotherapy for rare sarcoma and blastoma cancers.

The Pfizer Covid vaccine is getting rolled out in the UK starting next week after the arrival of several lorry loads with their super-refridgerated cargo, of 800,000 jab doses. The original plan was to deliver this via 'hubs' in hospitals, where large numbers of patients and staff could be vaccinated en masse, but this relied on the informed consent of the hospital doctors, nurses and ancillary staff, not to mention the patients. The jab is admitted to cause 'fevers, headaches and fatigue ' in a large percentage of recipients, not good for patients already ill or recovering from operations.
This is a logistic nightmare, caused by the necessity to vaccinate large numbers quickly, since the Pfizer vaccine has to be kept at -80 degrees, and cannot be viable for long once the packs of nearly 1000 jabs are opened. The UK Government is now apparently attempting to distribute the vaccine in smaller batches to care homes and staff, likely to be far more compliant, since refusals could incur penalties. How this will work in practice God only knows! Watch this space.

EXTRACTS:-
"Britain's mass vaccination drive will start TUESDAY: NHS boss says race to beat Covid will begin on Dec 8 with UK set to get 'MILLIONS' of doses of Pfizer's jab before New Year amid fears first batch of 800,000 'could be all we get for some time'
Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, said today that the vaccine 'race' will start on December 8 The first batches of the prized jab arrived in the UK last night, following Number 10's 'top secret' operation. Business Secretary Alok Sharma said that he hoped millions of doses will arrive before the end of the year. And BioNTech's chief commercial officer said that Britain can expect more shipments to arrive 'next week'
Pfizer last night revealed it will only be able to distribute half of the 100million doses it planned to in 2020
The logistical nightmare of getting the jab to care home residents, who are supposed to be at the very front of the queue, meant NHS staff were inevitably bumped up the pecking order. But it has now emerged that frontline NHS workers will no longer be prioritised for the vaccine - which trials have shown is 95 per cent effective.
Another hurdle of getting the vaccine into care homes looks set to be cleared after officials last night devised a way to split the Pfizer vaccine into small batches suitable for distribution. NHS bosses admitted the ban on pack-splitting was the only thing holding up getting the jab to Britain's most vulnerable group. Scotland has already announced care home residents will get vaccines from December 14. The vaccine currently comes in packs of between 975 and 4,875 doses, which must be used within six hours of being transported - even if kept refrigerated."

Even better. Right afterward, the recipient could clutch their arm and head, start screaming, and fall down. When protestors do this, it's called a "die in".
"Demonstrators descend on London Fashion Week as animal rights campaigners PETA cover themselves in paint and 'blood-soaked' Extinction Rebellion protesters glue themselves to an entrance
Extinction Rebellion doused themselves in fake blood and staged a 'die in' at London Fashion Week
The five-day long international event is due to kick off in London's Strand this morning
But in advance eco-protestors covered the pavement with red liquid and laid down for press photographers
They shouted: 'You choose profit over planet, profit over people, profit over our future'"

BTW, WHAT IS PETA DOING ABOUT FORCED VACCINATION? Animals are used in vaccine trials!

@ Grace Green
What if a LARGE number of exceptionally clumsy individuals who know each other sign up?
Trying to hold ones hand steady enough to target the arm is verrrrry tricky. Oops! Missed.
Here's your card.

this vaccine is such a princess it should come with its own tutu.

CVS would be a good spot for "V is for Vaccine" activists.
Start organizing now!

In the UK anyone and everyone is being hired at a rate of £11 - £13 an hour, with a promise of training to administer the vaccine. This training will include being able to recognize a vaccine reaction (perhaps they could then teach the doctors that!), and how to treat anaphylaxis! My vaccine injury has not been recognized by any doctor for 65 years! I'm sure many others have had the same experience. They might as well put guns into the hands of the criminally insane and let them loose on the population.

This document is worth a read. Weasel words that amount to "we don't know anything about its value to health or associated risks because the studies haven't been completed (nor started)."

As the man said .. 'The cure (vaccine?) ought not be more dangerous than the disease".
No one can predict with any scientific certainty .. this "one size fits all vaccine" will be as all others before it .. significant RISK for some individuals … especially over LONG TERM … which can be decades before true risk is known.
Great documentary on Netflix .. 'THE PHARMACIST" .. about a single pharmacist whose son died from a drug over dose .. began his own investigation to identify the main doctor in his small town who was prescribing HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS of prescriptions for OPIOID PAIN DRUGS … which began a series of drug overdose deaths from patients the pharmacist had been filling prescriptions for. Fascinating EXPOSE of CORRUPT DRUG MANUFACTURE'S WHO LIED REPEATEDLY TO DOCTORS THEIR OPIOID DRUGS WERE "NON ADDICTIVE" WHEN THEY KNEW FOR CERTAIN THE DRUGS WERE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE.
PURDUE PHARMA HAS BEEN FINED A BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE OPIOID ADDICTION DEATHS THEY CAUSED .. ALL IN THE PURSUIT OF OBSCENE .. LUCRATIVE .. PROFITS IN THE BILLIONS.
This is the same DRUG INDUSTRY that will be guaranteeing their vaccine is SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.
NO ONE IS MORE AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF PHARMA INDUSTRY THAN PHARMACISTS THEMSELVES .. HAVING FILLED PRESCRIPTIONS FOR VIOXX AND OPIOIDS FOR "CUSTOMERS" WHO SUFFERED DEADLY CONSEQENCES .. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL NOT REMAIN SILENT SHOULD THE VACCINE RECIPIENTS DEVELOP PROBLEMS FOLLOWING VACCINATION.
