‘I’m sorry, but it’s too late’: Alabama doctor on treating unvaccinated, dying COVID patients
AL ^

Posted on 07/22/2021 8:47:09 AM PDT by MNDude

“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.”

“They cry. And they tell me they didn’t know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color they wouldn’t get as sick. They thought it was ‘just the flu’. But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back. But they can’t. So they thank me and they go get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death note, and say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives.”

Her husband, Miles, is also a physician, and the couple says they were both extremely cautious about wearing protective equipment but one of them still caught the virus and gave it to the other, as well as other family members.

She likely supports obviously ineffective mask mandates.

From the excerpt, I don’t get the negative reaction. This woman is describing people who are so ignorant they think a vaccination will help them after they have a full blown illness. These aren’t people eschewing vaccination due to their sophisticated scientific understanding of the dangers of mRNA vaccines, etc. They are individuals in the low-info, low-IQ camp who “believe” foolish claptrap. She then sees them at a stage when it’s too late.

Covid is not a “human” disease so we have no idea how long “immunity” lasts. I’ve talked to several people who say they had it twice.

Thank you for your polite and reasoned response. From what I can see, most of the experts nationally are advising folks to take the vaccine.

And yes, most of the kooks are on the anti-vaxx side. They most certainly muddy the waters.

But here’s the thing. I have talked to medical professionals in my family. And I have talked to doctors I know. I respect those folks. And there’s no clear consensus at all.

It’s maddening.

P.S. I think the solution might be to have a debate, maybe on CSPAN. Have two respected pro-vaxxers debate two respected anti-vaxxers. Let each side probe the objections of the other side. That would be most helpful.

I’ll take those odds, since my ‘affliction’ is holding worthless morons in the contempt that they richly deserve.

Keep telling yourself that. You are just as bad and dogmatic as the anti-poke people that wish ill on people that took it. There's a reason you wish people that disagree with you to die, and it's not because you think they are morons.

My BIL had COVID (mild). Got the vaxx six weeks later. It made him sick as as a dog.

I’m 67. I’d rather die than give up my constitutional rights. If I die, I die . . . my best friend who once was my wife until death separated us is waiting to see me. 100% fer sure!

My faith is a “KNOW-SO!” religion, not a “hope-so.”

“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13).

A hospitalist only works at the hospital for their particular time of sevice. The see the acutely ill patient...and they can admit the patient to the hospital and follow the case if the patient doesn’t have petsonal M.
D. The staff doesnt need to call the patients personal m.d and wait for orders. They are legitimate medical doctors.

I am not anti vaxxer. I just distrust a never before tested methodolovy for inducing an immune response messing with the protein manufacturing rna/dna in my cells. Could they have used a less harmful antigen beside spike protein? Could they have blocked spike protein assisted entry of virus into the cell using chemicals/biomolecules?
Never seen such trust in one experimental methodology for treatment.

My question to the doctor is...how did she survive working in the hospital with all those covid patients BEFORE the vaccine? Was she gowned, head covered, booty wearing, glove wearing, face shielded, eye goggle wearing persson. I would like to know how many health care workers have contracted c19 and died.

My cancer doc (a guy in marathon runner shape, 55 yrs old) got it back in March 2020 when things were just breaking out. He said it was like a week of the worst hangover he ever had. A week after that he was back at work.
