re: 87.5% of UAB ICU patients did NOT receive the vaccine

I say with sincerity that it must be hard to treat patients who in retrospect made a bad choice or drew the short straw of covid randomness, but it was their choice, and should be.

No one should be forced into taking the vaccine. Everyone should measure their own risk and make a decision using the best available information (which isn’t very good).

Some examples;
1. An 18 year old, healthy, not fat, no one counting on them, can handle 1-3 weeks of being sick, and has a lot of years to potentially suffer from an unknown vaccine side effect. Very low risk of drawing the covid randomness short straw. A reasonable decision is to not get the vaccine (but many are being forced to)

2. A 50-year old, generally healthy, not fat, has a family counting on him, hard to miss 3 weeks work, not as many years to suffer from a side effect. Higher risk of drawing the covid randomness short straw. A reasonable decision is to take the vaccine (but should not be forced to).

A question for the hospital docs: have you turned away or not given a high standard of care to non-covid patients who need critical care?

I read a Stanford teaching hospital report on their CV19 "data" - they reported 30% of CV19 patients were asymptomatic

So do you not understand "nomenclature" or my post?

My wife runs a hospital…it is no exaggeration but you with no insight into actual hospitals have formed a false truth.

It's not a false truth. The news has been saying that hospitals are being overrun for two months. That's a truth.

They are exaggerating this claim. If not, channel 5 news would be at these hospitals showing patients flopping around in the hallways.

Nothing has been done to assist the hospitals in such dire situations

No. By all means, no.
My God!!
You are a perfect fit in healthcare administration.

Congrats! you've found your dream job.

Great retort

Now explain to me how UAB gets their confirmed vaccination data from random incoming patients who walk through the door. And by explain, I mean the time line, job schedules, tech used, sources ETL’ed, and the data schema designs preferred. THEN explain the parameters passed and why they are used to come to the data conclusions we are given every day.

You can’t.

I can.

And I am telling you, from two decades of personal experience, by the time raw medical data hits the public in the form of a “report”, it’s usually shite because it has to pass through about 3 of 4 levels of “approval” (at least) before it’s ever seen.
