“I am currently working in the COVID ICU in my local hospital. We are experiencing a major surge & 98% of admissions are unvaccinated patients. I have cared for critically ill patients in their 30s, 40s, & 50s. Each patient regrets not having gotten the vaccine when it was first offered. Please don’t hesitate any longer—get vaccinated!“

“I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections,” wrote Cobia, a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, in an emotional Facebook post Sunday. “One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.”

This is the type of cohesive messaging you get from doctors that may have a financial interest in making sure their 'favorite' pharmaceutical company is successful pushing a drug.
