BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The intensive care rooms at St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center are full, each a blinking jungle of tubes, wires and mechanical breathing machines. The patients nestled inside are a lot alike: All unvaccinated, mostly middle-aged or younger, reliant on life support and locked in a silent struggle against COVID-19.
But watch for a moment, and glimpses of who they were before the coronavirus become clear.
Artfully inked tattoos cover the tanned forearm of a man in his 30s. An expectant mother’s slightly swollen belly is briefly revealed as a nurse adjusts her position. The young woman is five months pregnant and hooked to a breathing machine.
Down the hall, another pregnant woman, just 24 and on a ventilator, is lying prone — on top of her developing fetus — to get more air into her ravaged lungs.
Idaho hit a grim COVID-19 trifecta this week, reaching record numbers of emergency room visits, hospitalizations and ICU patients. Medical experts say the deeply conservative state will likely see 30,000 new infections a week by mid-September.
With a critical shortage of hospital beds and staff and one of the nation’s lowest vaccination rates, Idaho health providers are growing desperate and preparing to follow crisis standards of care, which call for giving scarce resources to patients most likely to survive.

Something tells me they are counting those who have not had the full series as non vaccinated.

“We don’t have any vaccinated patients here.”
I do not believe that statement because it is wildly inconsistent with the statistics from other places, such as Israel and the UK.

Well why weren’t the “unwashed/unvaxxed” folks turned away like dawn limon at cnn wishes? Quit wasting resources on selfish traitors. Good morning Idaho! Any Idaho FReepers lend any additional info? Sensational headline or some truth? Had a nurse tell me the other day during my pre-surgery check in that the Reno VA had to reopen their CONvid facility. And nobody asked me if I’d been vaxxed. But, no. I do have to be tested the day before the surgery.

Anything reported by the AP is suspect. Or America’s Pravda as I like to call it.

Rookie mistake of propaganda 42: going all in.
It’s important when a propaganda piece is put together to add a bit of uncertainty to the numbers. Never use ‘100%’ or ‘all’. use ‘most’ or ‘nearly all’. Using superlatives will actually reduce the believability of a propaganda article.
Don’t use round numbers either. When fabricating stats, using numbers like ‘57%’ or ‘72%’ sounds more authentic then ‘50%’ or ‘70%’.

Come on! It’s statistically highly unlikely that “none” of the patients were “unvaccinated.” That makes this entire story suspect.
I’m beginning to realize that “unvaccinated” is becoming merely an epithet for leftists to use against conservatives.

Deaths? No mention of deaths....why (never mind we know why)

If that is true, wow.
If a person drops dead from a stroke or heart attack due to the vaccine, it will be blamed on covid.
