Largely agreed. AEDs have become very efficient and relatively cheap over the years, and are easy to maintain. They provide instructions through audio that any reasonably competent adult can use. Many first responders of every flavor have one in their units, and we deploy them fairly frequently.
Keeping blood in the body and flowing to oxygenate will solve most emergent pre-hospital care issues than can be solved.
Unfortunately the company I work for has gone super woke in the last few years (think: mandatory staff training on diversity and inclusiveness, encouraging staff to display their pronouns, etc...) and they're posturing the vaccine requirement on the idea that it "makes clients feel more safe."
I plan to refuse any vaccine requirement, but I would hope it won't come down to losing my job over it.
Check out Tucker's take on the Chris Cuomo suspension. Unexpected and very refreshing.

Maternal COVID-19 Vaccination and Its Potential Impact on Fetal and Neonatal Development
“A widely cited preliminary study of the V-safe and Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data suggested that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were safe for pregnant women; however, errors were found in their analysis, and a follow-up re-analysis of the data revealed a cumulative incidence of spontaneous abortion of 7–8 times higher than the original author’s calculations, which was statistically higher than the typical average for pregnancy loss during the equivalent time period.”

Unvaccinated? Starting today you won’t be able to board a plane, train in Canada
“Unvaccinated travellers over the age of 12 won’t be able to board a plane or passenger train in Canada beginning today, and a negative COVID-19 test will no longer serve as a substitute for most people.
The policy came into effect on Oct. 30, but the federal government allowed a short transition period for unvaccinated travellers who could board as long as they provided a negative molecular COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before their trip.”

Study of myo/pericarditis in Hong Kong adolescents shows a 1 in 2,679 incidence rate following the 2nd dose in males
“Results: There is a significant increase in the risk of acute myocarditis/pericarditis following Comirnaty vaccination among Chinese male adolescents, especially after the second dose.”

Google translation from a section from the article:
"In January this year, the Ministry of Education issued regulations requiring a legal obligation to have a first aid kit and install defibrillators (resuscitation devices) in all educational institutions - schools and kindergartens, where more than 500 students study, according to a "real-time news" survey.
The regulations, which were in fact set three years ago and have since raised dust in a drawer, were published at an interesting time, in parallel with the Ministry of Health's preparations for vaccinating children, just as they began vaccinating teenagers aged 16-18 in Israel. They went into effect in April, in parallel with preparations for vaccinating children ages 12-15, just weeks before the FDA granted the company an emergency permit to administer the vaccine to those ages."
Fascinating.
Abstract
Vaccines have been developed at “warp speed” to combat the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Although they are considered the best approach for preventing mortality, when assessing the safety of these vaccines, pregnant women have not been included in clinical trials. Thus, vaccine safety for this demographic, as well as for the developing fetus and neonate, remains to be determined. A global effort has been underway to encourage pregnant women to get vaccinated despite the uncertain risk posed to them and their offspring. Given this, post-hoc data collection, potentially for years, will be required to determine the outcomes of COVID-19 and vaccination on the next generation. Most COVID-19 vaccine reactions include injection site erythema, pain, swelling, fatigue, headache, fever and lymphadenopathy, which may be sufficient to affect fetal/neonatal development. In this review, we have explored components of the first-generation viral vector and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines that are believed to contribute to adverse reactions and which may negatively impact fetal and neonatal development. We have followed this with a discussion of the potential for using an ovine model to explore the long-term outcomes of COVID-19 vaccination during the prenatal and neonatal periods.
They haven't studied its effects of pregnant females, but they are encouraging pregnant women to take it anyway, because COVID-19 represents such a critical risk of death for women in the demographic group that gets pregnant. This situation is really sorting the population into its intelligence quintiles.
No, Daniel. Anyone who can be made to feel like an asshole by this silly little irrelevant bitch -- who has never once in her short little irrelevant existence ever felt even the slightest hint of discomfort -- is not sensible.
