He is at Baton Rogue General Hospital, it says so right in the thread starting post.
I'm not talking about the thread title. I am talking about the post itself.

“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!“
It seems odd. You would think he would have said "at Baton Rouge General," not "in my local hospital." It makes it sound like a generic message for people to cut and paste.

Roy is not a liberal. I know him well-he's just passing a message along.
I don’t care if He is a lib or not. What I care about is if what he said is true. is it really true 98% of the ICU patients haven’t had the vaccine.
If the answer is yes then good for him for saying it.
If not...

Whoa Kimosabee...we have 2 pandemics we are dealing with. Covid 19 and the Delta variant. And next year or so will be the next variant. Each requiring a new shot, a la the flu vacines.
The covid vaccine as generated memory B and memory T cells so you will not need a booster for the wild-type covid for a long time. The covid vaccines also are effective against the Delta variant. It is not as effective as it is against the wild-type but it is still effective. Yes there will be some breakthrough cases but neither is going to require a booster anytime soon based on the information available now.

so let me get this straight...
We get to 70% of adults vaccinated nationwide by June, exactly where these experts said we needed to be, and hospitalizations immediately increase to pre-vaccine levels?
So who is lying to us?

such a cheap little non-argument.
who should we trust here? The CDC, who has repeatedly caved to political pressure and hides data from its site? Fauci, who was telling us to mask up while emailing his friends that masks dont work? The media, who constantly lies to us and hides information about lab leak, ivermectin, and HCQ treatments? The pharmaceutical companies who don't even know yet if these experimental vaccines will require annual boosters.
who should we listen to in order to meet your standards of intelligence?
The "smart people" told us we'd be fine if we got to 70% vax by June and we are there. So how do we get to pre-covid level hospitalizations within weeks!? Again - who tf is lying to us THIS TIME?

Ivermectin, Dr. Culotta... Look it up.

Why don’t we see physicians making impassioned pleas to do something about drug overdoses and motor vehicle crashes? If the news carried stories of deaths from just those two causes every day, that would fill the entire newscast and then some.

How is that someone ahs these graphs but not a breakdown of comorbidity, symptom severity, were they admitted with covid or admitted for something else and tested positive etc?
Posted on 7/21/21 at 1:50 pm to tigerskin
Fair point.
we are closer to 37%. And another 11% have antibodies.
so about half of the population is vaccinated or has natural immunity and we are expected to believe that cases are exactly where they were this same time last year before the vaccine was introduced?
ETA: Massachusetts has the best vaccination rate in the nation and their numbers are spiking even WORSE than summer 2000 levels.

Or , Covid is real, it can kill people, has proven to kill people and subdue any attempt at what passes for normalcy and your continued intransigence only prolongs the status quo and gives government a reason to step allover your rights .

We aren’t near the peak of cases we have previously had and hopefully deaths won’t get there either.
Obviously cases peaked then went down over the last year. Our social interaction is 100 times greater now than at many points of the pandemic

If you notice they are just using percentages right now.
From 5 to 10 people, "cases up 100% !!!1".
Adjoining county in MO made the news this week with their 1100% spike in cases... it started at 1.

Im referring to where we were this same time last year. No one said anything about peak.

And I am saying that doesn’t necessarily surprise me that cases would be higher now than when everyone wasn’t near as socially active (even at 30 something percent vaccinated).

LOL has seen surge as well.

quote:These vaccines are a big money making operation. They are absurdly lucrative for big pharma but are only in public use right now under the EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION. EUA relies on there not being safe and effective alternative therapeutics. Ivermectin is safe and effective.
Tons of evidence to support its use and yet the WHO pretty much demanded that it be removed from therapeutic measures.
Again, this makes no sense.
Shills hate it. The CDC hates it. The WHO hates it. Youtube channels are demonetized for discussing it. Facebook will censor it.

that's 37% of TOTAL Louisianans fully vaccinated, not just adults with at least one jab (Federal metric).
Louisiana has administered 3.5MM vaccine doses (at elast one shot) and has an adult population (18+) of 3.3MM. Add another 500K that have antibodies. We arent doing bad at ALL. The vast majority of social interaction in Louisiana is happening among children who cannot be vaccinated. These arent the people the doc in the OP is referring to. So I'll ask again.
Why is it that every single time we follow the advice of these experts, they are wrong? Or is someone lying to us? Is it both?
