I did not believe you until I just saw it in the Washington Post. I think this restaurant needs to go through a few things. If they lose money they can sue her. It looks like they are sitting in an outdoor area (though it looks like it's pretty well enclosed). Probably a way to skirt the rules. |
How much did we end up paying for this nonsense? All would likely have been prevented with a free shot, that only costs the govt about $20. |
Probably millions. It cost $55k to fly my BIL from Gainesville to Fairfax Inova. Not COVID related. I agree that the news should do a few stories about what the typical hospital bill is for these people spending weeks on a ventilator. If their insurance pays it will result in higher premiums for all of us. |
I’ve arrived at the point that I don’t think unvaccinated people sick with covid should be intubated. If you get to that point, you’re done. We should not be exhausting our medical supplies and stretching our medical workers to the breaking point (to say nothing of denying medical care to people who have done the right thing and gotten vaccinated and are now having to delay their cancer surgeries) for people who have already made their decision. Also Sarah Palin sucks. JFC lady, have a gram of sense. |
No, it’s not the antithesis. They are crushing our medical system. People are burning out, staff are quitting, vaccinated people can’t get preventative care, necessary care is being delayed and emergencies can’t access healthcare. Antivaxxers have made their decision that they don’t believe covid is serious; I encourage you to flip through their social media posts at the Herman Cain Awards. So when it gets to the point of intubation, I don’t believe it should be offered (children, of course, exempted as they can’t help that their parents are wastoids). Comfort care and enough drugs for them not to feel themselves suffocating to death. We need a medical system, and the antivaxxers are breaking it. |
He had healthcare access. He chose not to access it.
Own the decision and stay out of the hospital if you are anti-vax. |
Speaking of staff being burnt out, a friend of mine is a nurse at a major hospital in the Philly area. One of their respiratory therapists jumped off the roof of the parking garage the other night. This is the toll all of this has taken on our healthcare workers. |
Just from reading online, it’s been godawful for medical staff. Not only are they stretched too thin with all these people stressing the medical system, but they’re not good patients and their families are abusive. |
This is like the longest Darwin Award column ever. It is so sad and awful.
Karma was served so fast to the Washington state trooper. He was Profane, mean spirited, entitled and now dead. I continue to believe that employees who quit because of the vaccine mandates might not have been the best of the best. Statistically unless the institution rolls it out in an awful way, the percentage who quit are small. Maybe 1percent. And goodness, it appears to be separating the wheat from the chaff and the antics eta are all Chaff. |
It’s just horrifying to read. What a waste. |
This is heartbreaking and haunting. |
Man hospitalized 88 days with COVID-19 says skipping vaccine 'worst decision of my life'
When a blood test in July showed he had antibodies that indicated a prior infection, he says, he assumed he did not need to get vaccinated. "I can tell you conclusively that is the worst decision of my life," Adams says. Dr. Rabbani estimates about 95% of the ICU patients he has treated were unvaccinated, like Jeff Adams. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/covington-man-hospitalized-88-days-with-covid-19-says-skipping-vaccine-worst-decision-of-my-life.amp |
